[00:-1.00] | |
[00:00.00] | |
[00:01.50] | everyone thinks that i have it all |
[00:03.28] | but it’s so empty living behind these castle walls |
[00:09.81] | these castle walls |
[00:14.44] | if i should tumble if i should fall |
[00:17.74] | would any one hear me screaming behind these castle walls |
[00:22.68] | there’s no-one here at all, behind these castle walls |
[00:29.98] | |
[00:41.55] | observing the estate through the gate from the outside looking in |
[00:44.38] | bet you would think i got it made, better look again |
[00:47.77] | i got buttler, got a maid, and a mansion |
[00:50.45] | the belief is that i’m living out a millionaires fantasy |
[00:53.63] | with pantoms and ferrari’s in the driveway |
[00:55.95] | but you see the pain and the change of the same man’s |
[00:59.15] | your vision jaded by the grammy’s on the mantelpiece |
[01:02.67] | just switch your camera lenses you would see the agony |
[01:05.24] | apparantly it’s damaging the man you see before you |
[01:08.25] | on the canvas he may seem alright |
[01:10.34] | but all the diasadvantages his family |
[01:12.19] | encounters overpowers his extravagance |
[01:14.41] | walk in my ? i dare you |
[01:16.64] | while it really seem like the kings life aint glamourous |
[01:20.46] | as seen through the eyes of untrained amateurs |
[01:23.39] | because the camera’s don’t see beyond the walls of the smiles |
[01:27.12] | only counts until it falls in the pile |
[01:28.78] | |
[01:28.97] | everyone thinks that i have it all |
[01:31.21] | but it’s so empty living behind these castle walls |
[01:36.05] | these castle walls |
[01:38.94] | if i should tumble if i should fall |
[01:42.78] | would any one hear me screaming behind these castle walls |
[01:48.38] | there’s no-one here at all, behind these castle walls |
[01:50.86] | |
[01:53.65] | honestly to me, |
[01:54.73] | i think i’d lose every benefit of all that i’ve accomplished |
[01:57.10] | if my key is never with it, sh-t |
[01:59.20] | me knowing this, why should the verses i have laid |
[02:01.22] | be more important to me than the persons i have raised |
[02:04.27] | i guess i’m saying that to say that ooportunity |
[02:07.64] | but they just don’t equate to all the time they take away |
[02:10.56] | from the kids all the sh-t i did right is a mistake |
[02:13.47] | if deyjah end up a stripper and major slinging yay |
[02:16.10] | how could i ever consider myself a great |
[02:19.36] | if messiah ain’t paid and nique nique ain’t straight |
[02:22.72] | would your favourite song about the whips, money and sh-t |
[02:25.29] | be relevant if you found out, the money wasn’t real, nope |
[02:28.59] | so me being the goat shouldn’t mean more to me |
[02:32.91] | than see it to a king though |
[02:34.39] | from a bad ass kid to man with some dough |
[02:37.23] | otherwise i may well have stayed poor |
[02:39.79] | so while they stay focused on me beefin with flip, |
[02:42.36] | shawty low, gucci or ludacris |
[02:44.58] | or if i’m f-cking with a hoe |
[02:46.37] | did i snitch when i got arrested or will i die over nonesense |
[02:49.16] | internally i’m dealing with this conflict |
[02:51.78] | so excuse me if i don’t get the chance to kiss the hand |
[02:55.14] | or slap me in the face, ay i,m just the man |
[02:58.12] | if they saying i ain’t the best at making hit records |
[03:01.45] | it’s cause this my life these ain’t just rapping |
[03:03.89] | sh-t, you think of that deep, did ya dawg |
[03:07.14] | see you can’t see the castle through the walls till it falls |
[03:09.90] | bitch ain’t thinking with the deep, did ya dog |
[03:12.60] | cause see you can’t see the castle through the walls till it falls |
[03:14.96] | |
[03:15.19] | everyone thinks that i have it all |
[03:17.98] | but it’s so empty living behind these castle walls |
[03:22.74] | these castle walls |
[03:25.94] | if i should tumble if i should fall |
[03:29.69] | would any one hear me screaming behind these castle walls |
[03:34.53] | there’s no-one here at all, behind these castle walls |
[03:37.61] | |
[03:39.94] | nobody knows i’m all alone |
[03:42.06] | living in this castle made of stone |
[03:45.18] | they say that money is freedom but i feel trapped inside it all |
[03:50.53] | and while i sit so high up on a throne |
[03:54.01] | i wonder how i can feel this low |
[03:57.16] | on top of the world it’s beautiful |
[03:59.98] | but there’s no place to fall |
[04:02.18] | |
[04:02.42] | for the record ay, i give a damn if i never said sh-t again |
[04:06.30] | my career was meant for me to come and tell it |
[04:08.87] | honest interpretation of how affected i’m faced with |
[04:12.27] | matters most rappers used to keep locked away in the basement |
[04:14.90] | the day that i walk i ain’t saying that i’m amazing |
[04:17.93] | down playing the way i keep fellas from catching cases |
[04:20.88] | won’t take into consideration |
[04:22.73] | how much it mean what i’m saying |
[04:23.86] | and when i say what i mean even |
[04:25.71] | when i’m sorrounded by the fakers |
[04:27.22] | from one of the greatest centers, |
[04:29.03] | blessed with most of god’s graces |
[04:30.07] | who made his way amongst the greatest |
[04:31.72] | from the grimiest places |
[04:32.94] | so next time you rating royalty, |
[04:35.28] | i’m always being given to recordings than the level |
[04:38.05] | of your loyalty, obvious you’ve been ignoring me |
[04:40.85] | who else ya seen make it through the storm, |
[04:43.17] | unharmed disjointed |
[04:44.61] | while all the critics was looking for prince charming |
[04:47.64] | disregarded the king of the south raised doubt |
[04:50.48] | even though he made a castle out of used to be a house |
[04:53.53] | he did sh-t that all your favourites rappers only rap about |
[04:56.34] | but most of y’all don’t see the castle through the walls |
[04:59.67] | and the smiles till it falls in piles so while… |
[05:01.63] | |
[05:02.27] | everyone thinks that i have it all |
[05:04.69] | but it’s so empty living behind these castle walls |
[05:09.44] | these castle walls |
