[INTRO]- NO CHORDS
I remember you was conflicted, misusing your influence
Sometimes, I did the same
[woman moaning]
If these walls could talk (x6)
Sex
[PRECHORUS]
Abmaj9 Gm7 ................ Gm7/C Fmaj7 Dbmaj7 She just want to close her eyes and sway Gm7/C Abmaj9 Gm7 With you, With you, With you Gm7/C Fmaj7 Dbmaj7 Exercise her right to work it out Gm7/C C Db/F It's true, it's true, it's true Dbmaj7 Fmaj7(alt) Dm7 Dbmaj9 Shout out to the birthday girls say hey, (heyyy) Db/F say hey Dbmaj7 Fmaj7(alt) Dm7 Db6/9 ...Everyone deserves a night to play
And she plays only when you tell her no
[CHORUS]
Abmaj9 Gm7 Gm7/C Fmaj7 If these walls could talk Dbmaj7 Gm7/C (I can feel your reign when it cries, gold lives inside of you) Abmaj9 Gm7 Gm7/C Fmaj7 If these walls could talk Dbmaj7 Gm7/C (I love it when I’m in it... I love it when I’m in it)
[VERSE I]
Abmaj9 Gm7 If these walls could talk they’d tell me to swim good Gm7/C Fmaj7 Dbmaj7 No boat, I float better than he would Gm7/C No life jacket, I’m not the God of Nazareth
But your flood can be misunderstood
Abmaj9 Gm7 Walls telling me they full of pain, resentment Gm7/C Fmaj7 Dbmaj7 Need someone to live in them just to relieve tension
Me? I’m just a tenant
Gm7/C Landlord said these walls vacant more than a minute Db/F Dbmaj7 These walls are vulnerable, exclamation
Interior pink, color coordinated
Fmaj7(alt) Dm7 Dbmaj9
..I interrogated, every nook and cranny
I mean it's still amazing before they couldn’t stand me
Db/F ...These walls want to cry tears Dbmaj7 ...These walls happier when I’m here
Fmaj7(alt) Dm7 Db6/9
...These walls never could hold up
Every time I come around demolition might crush
[CHORUS]
Abmaj9 Gm7 Gm7/C Fmaj7 If these walls could talk Dbmaj7 Gm7/C (I can feel your reign when it cries, gold lives inside of you) Abmaj9 Gm7 Gm7/C Fmaj7 If these walls could talk Dbmaj7 Gm7/C (I love it when I’m in it... I love it when I’m in it)
[VERSE II]
Abmaj9 Gm7 If these walls could talk they’d tell me to go deep Gm7/C Fmaj7 Yelling at me continuously, I can see Dbmaj7 Gm7/C ..Your defense mechanism is my decision
Knock these walls down, that’s my religion
Abmaj9 Gm7 Walls feeling like they ready to close in Gm7/C Fmaj7 Dbmaj7 I suffocate, then catch my second wind
I resonate in these walls
Gm7/C I don’t know how long I can wait in these walls Db/F I’ve been on these streets too long Dbmaj7 Looking at you from the outside in
Fmaj7(alt) Dm7
They sing the same old song
Dbmaj9 About how they walls always the cleanest Db/F I beg to differ, I must’ve missed them Dbmaj7 I’m not involved, I’d rather diss them
Fmaj7(alt) Dm7 Db6/9
I’d rather call on you, put your wall up
Cause when I come around demolition gon’ crush
[CHORUS]
Abmaj9 Gm7 Gm7/C Fmaj7 If these walls could talk Dbmaj7 Gm7/C (I can feel your reign when it cries, gold lives inside of you) Abmaj9 Gm7 Gm7/C Fmaj7 If these walls could talk Dbmaj7 Gm7/C (I love it when I’m in it... I love it when I’m in it)

{BRIDGE]
Fm7 If your walls could talk, they’d tell you it’s too late Dbmaj9 Your destiny accepted your fate
Fmaj7(alt) Dm7 Dbmaj9
Burn accessories and stash them where they are
Take the recipe, the Bible and God
Fm7#5 Wall telling you that commissary is low Dbmaj9 Race wars happening no calling CO
Fmaj7(alt) Dm7
No calling your mother to save you
Db6/9 Homies to say you're reputable, not acceptable Abmaj9 Gm7 Your behavior is Sammy Da Bull like Gm7/C A killer that turned snitch Fmaj9 Dbmaj9 Walls is telling me you a bitch Gm7/C You pray for appeals hoping the warden would afford them
That sentence so important
Abmaj7 Gm7 Walls telling you to listen to "Sing About Me" Gm7/C Fmaj7 Dbmaj9 Retaliation is strong, you even dream 'bout me Gm11/C Killed my homeboy and God spared your life
Dumb criminal got indicted same night
Abmaj7 Gm11 So when you play this song, rewind the first verse Gm7/C Fmaj7 Dbmaj7 About me abusing my power so you can hurt Gm11/C About me and her in the shower whenever she horny
About me and her in the after hours of the morning
Abmaj7 Gm11 About her baby daddy currently serving life Gm11/C Fmaj7 Dbmaj9 And how she think about you until we meet up at night Gm11/C About the only girl that cared about you when you asked her
And how she fucking on a famous rapper
Fm7#5 Dbmaj9 Fmaj7(alt) Dm7 Dbmaj9 Walls could talk
Fm7#5 Dbmaj9 Fmaj7(alt) Dm7 Db6/9
[OUTRO]- NO CHORDS
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
