KENDRICK LAMAR - These Walls lyrics

rate me

Ft. Bilal, Anna Wise

(Intro)

I remember ya was conflicted, misusin' yo influence

Sumetimes, I did the same

(If these walls could talk)

(If these walls could talk)

(If these walls could talk)

(If these walls could talk)

(If these walls could talk)

(If these walls could talk)

(Interlude: Anna Wise)

Sex! She just wanna close her eyes & sway

If ya, if ya, if ya exercise yo right to work it out

Its true, its true, its true, shout out to the birthday girls say hey

Say hey, everyone deserves a night to play

& shes plays only when ya tell her no

(Hook)

If these walls could talk

I can feel yo reign when it cries gold lives inside of ya

If these walls could talk

I luv it when I’m in it, I luv it when I’m in it

(Verse: Kendrick Lamar)

If these walls could talk they’d tell me to swim good

No boat I float better than he would

No life jacket I’m not the guard in Nazareth

But yo flood can be misunderstood

Wall tellin' me they full of pain, resentment

Need sumeone to live in them just to relieve tension

Me? I’m just a tenant

My lord said these walls vacant mo' than a minute

These walls are vulnerable exclamation

Interior pink color coordinated

I interrogated every nook & cranny

I mean its still amazin' before they couldn’t stand me

These walls wanna cry tears

These walls happier when I’m here

These walls neva could hold up

Every time I come around demolition might crush

(Hook)

(Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar)

If these walls could talk they’d tell me to go deep

Yellin' at me continuously I can see

Yo defense mechanism is my decision

Knock these walls down that’s my religion

Walls feelin' like they ready to close in

I suffocate then catch my second wind

I resonate in these walls

I don’t know how long I can wait in these walls

I’ve been on these streets too long lookin' at ya from the outside in

They sing the same old song about how they walls are always the cleanest

I beg to differ, I must’ve missed them

I’m not involved I’d rather diss them

I’d rather call all ya put yo wall up

Cause when I come around demolition gon’ crush

(Hook)

(Verse 3: Kendrick)

If yo walls could talk they’d tell ya it’s too late

Yo destiny accepted yo fate

Burn accessories & stash them where they are

Take the recipe, the bible & God

Wall tellin' ya that commissary is low

Race wars happenin' no callin' CO

No calling yo motha to save ya

Homies say to ya, you're reputable, not acceptable

Yo behavior is Sammy Da Bull like a killer that turned snitch

Walls is tellin' me ya a bitch

Ya pray for appeals hopin' the warden could afford them

That sentence so important

Walls tellin' ya to listen to 'Sing About Me'

Retaliation is strong ya even dream about me

Killed my homeboy & God spared yo life

Dumb criminal got indicted the same night

So when ya play this song rewind the first verse

About me abusing my power so ya can hurt

About me & her in the shower wheneva she horny

About me & her in the after hours of the mornin'

About her baby daddy currently servin' life

& how she think about ya until we meet up at night

About the only girl that cared about ya when ya asked her

& how she fuckin' on a famous rapper

Walls could talk

(Outro)

I remember ya was conflicted

Misusin' yo influence

Sumetimes I did the same

Abusin' my power full of resentment

Resentment that turned into a deep depression

Found myself screamin' in a hotel room
