I remember you was conflicted

Misusing your influence

Sometimes, 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-

Sex

She just wanna close her eyes and sway

With you, with you, with you (ah, come on)

Exercise her right to work it out

It's true, it's true, it's true

Shout out to the birthday girls

Say hey (hey), say hey (hey) (ah, girl)

Everyone deserves a night to play (play)

She plays, only when you tell her no

If these walls could talk

I can feel your reign when it cries, gold lives inside of you

If these walls could talk

I love it when I'm in it, I love it when I'm in it

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 God of Nazareth

But your flood can be misunderstood

Walls telling me they full of pain, resentment

Need someone to live in them just to relieve tension

Me, I'm just a tenant

Landlord said these walls vacant more than a minute

These walls are vulnerable, exclamation

Interior pink, color coordinated

I interrogated every nook and cranny

I mean, it's still amazing, before they couldn't stand me

These walls wanna cry tears

These walls happier when I'm here

These walls never could hold up

Every time I come around, demolition might (crush)

If these walls could talk

I can feel your reign when it cries, gold lives inside of you

If these walls could talk

I love it when I'm in it, I love it when I'm in it

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

Yelling at me continuously, I can see

Your defense mechanism is my decision

Knock these walls down, that's my religion

Walls feeling 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 the streets too long

Looking at you from the outside in

They sing the same old song

About how they walls always the cleanest

I beg to differ, I must've missed them

I'm not involved, I'd rather diss 'em

I'd rather call on you, put your wall up

'Cause when I come around, demolition gon' (crush)

If these walls could talk

I can feel your reign when it cries, gold lives inside of you

If these walls could talk

I love it when I'm in it, I love it when I'm in it

If your walls can talk, they'd tell you it's too late

Your destiny accepted your fate

Burn accessories and stash them on the yard

Take the recipe, the Bible and God

Wall telling you that commissary is low

Race wars happening, no calling CO

No calling your mother to save you

Homies to say you're irrepetible, not acceptable

Your behavior is Sammy the Bull like

A killer that turned snitch

Walls is telling me you a b-

You pray for appeals hoping the warden would afford them

(That sentence so important)

Walls telling you to listen to "Sing About Me"

Retaliation is strong, you even dream 'bout me

Killed my homeboy and God spared your life

Dumb criminal got indicted same night

So when you play this song, rewind the first verse

About me abusing my power so you can hurt

About me and her in the shower whenever she horny

About me and her in the after hours of the morning

About her baby daddy currently serving life

And how she think about you until we meet up at night

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

And how she f- on a famous rapper

Walls can talk (talk)

I remember you was conflicted

Misusing your influence

Sometimes I did the same

Abusing my power, full of resentment

Resentment that turned into a deep depression

Found myself screaming in a hotel room
