Kendrick Lamar - These Walls (Live on Ellen) lyrics

[Intro: Kendrick Lamar] Life is full of up and downs Twists and turns But somehow we keep on steppin' [Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar] 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 want to cry tears These walls happier when I'm here These walls never could hold up Every time I come around demolition might crush [Hook: Anna Wise, Thundercat and Bilal (Kendrick Lamar)] If these walls could talk (Step) I can feel your (Step) reign when it cries, (Uh) gold lives inside of (Step) you If these walls could talk I love it when I'm in it, (Uh) I love it when I'm in it [Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar] 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 rather miss them I rather call, I rather diss them I rather fall on you, put your wall up Cause when I come around demolition go crush [Hook: Anna Wise, Thundercat and Bilal (Kendrick Lamar)] If these walls could talk (Uh) I can feel (Step) your reign when it cries (Chi-town step), gold lives inside of (Step) you If these walls could talk (Step) I love it (? step) when I'm in it, I love it when (? step) I'm in it (Uh) [Interlude: Kendrick Lamar] And reality is Sometimes through these ups and downs You gotta know when to lead or to follow Keep steppin' Chi-town [Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar] If your walls could talk, they'd tell you it's too late Your destiny accepted your fate Build accessories and stash them on the are Take the recipe, the Bible and God Wall telling you that commissary is low Race wars happening no calling CO No calling your homie to save you Homies to say you're reputable, not acceptable Your behavior is Sammy Da Bull like A k**er that turned snitch Walls is telling me you a 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 k**ed 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 hour of the morning About her baby daddy currently serving life 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 messing with famous rapper Walls could talk [Hook: Anna Wise, Thundercat and Bilal (Kendrick Lamar)] (Uh, hey) If these walls could talk (Yeah) (I can feel your reign when it cries, gold lives inside of you) If these walls could talk (Yeah, hey) (I love it when I'm in it, I love it when I'm in it) (Yes)
