this is what I heard:
Everyone thinks
That I have it all
But it's so empty
Living behind these castle walls
These castle walls
If I should tumble
If I should fall
Would anyone hear me
Screaming behind these castle walls
There's no one here at all
Behind these castle walls
Observing the estate through the gate
From the outside looking in
Bet you would think I got it made
Better look again
I got a butler, got a maid, and a mansion
Even a belief is that I'm living out a millionaire's fantasy
But Phantoms and Ferraris in the driveway
But you see you came and the change of sane man's sanity
Your vision is jaded by Grammy's on the mantlepiece
Just switch your camera lens, and you will see the agony
Apparently, it's damaging, the man you see before you
On the canvas it may seem alright, but all the disadvantages
His family encounters overshadows his extravagance
Walk in my nine’s a while, I dare you
While it surely seems like the king's life ain't glamorous
As seen through the eyes of untrained amateurs
Because the camera doesn't see beyond the walls
or the smiles on the castle 'til it falls in the pile
Everyone thinks that I have it all
But it's so empty
Living behind these castle walls
These castle walls
If I should tumble, if I should fall
Would anyone hear me
Screaming behind these castle walls
There's no one here at all
Behind these castle walls
Honestly to me I think I'd lose every benefit
Of all that I've accomplished
If my kids never went at ****!
Me knowing this, why should the verses I've laid
Be more important to me than the persons I've raised
I guess I'm saying that to say that opportunity today
But they just don't equate to all the time it take away
From the kids, all the **** I did, write some mistake ??
If Deyjah ends up a stripper and Major slinging Yay
How could I ever consider myself a great
If Messiah ain't paid and Nique Nique ain't straight
What's your favorite song about the whips, money and ****
Be relevant and be found out that money wasn't real
Nope, so me being the gold **** being more important to me
Than seeing it to a king though
From a bad ass kid to a man with some dough
Otherwise I may as well stay broke
So why they stay focused on me
Beefin with Flip,
Shawty Low, Gucci or Ludicris
or if I'm ****ing with a hoe
Did I snitch when I got arrested
Or Will I die over nonsense
Internally, I'm dealing with this conflict
So excuse me if I don't get a chance to kiss the hand
that slapped me the in face
Ay! I'm just the man
If they saying I ain't the best at making hit records
It's because this is my life, these aren't just rapping
****! you think of that deep, did you dawg?
See you can't see the castle through the walls till it falls
Bitch! Ain't thinking with that deep, did ya dog
Cause see you can't see the castle through the walls till it falls
Everyone thinks
That I have it all
But it's so empty
Living behind these castle walls
These castle walls
If I should tumble
If I should fall
Would anyone hear me
Screaming behind these castle walls
There's no one here at all
Behind these castle walls
Nobody knows I'm all alone
Living in this castle made of stone
They say that money is freedom but I feel trapped inside it all
And while I sit so high up on a throne
I wonder hơ I can feel this lơ
On top of the world it's beautiful
But there's no place to fall
For the record ay, I give a damn if I never said **** again
My career was meant for me to come and tell it
Honest interpretation of how affected I'm faced with
matters most rappers úed to keep locked away in the basement
the day that I walk away I ain't saying that I'm amazing
Downplaying the way I keep fellas from catching cases
Won't take into consideration how much it mean what I'm saying
And when I say what I mean even when I'm surrounded by the fakers
From one of the greatest centers, blessed with most of God's graces
Who made his way amongst the greatest from the grimiest places?
So next time you rating royalty, I'm always being given to recordings than the level
of you loyalty, obvious you've been ignoring me
who else ya seen make it through the storm, unharmed disjointed
While all the critics was looking for Prince charming
Disregarded the king of the south raised doubt
Eventhough he made a castle out of used to be a house
He did **** that all your favourite rappers only rap about
but most of y'all don't see the castle through the walls
and the smiles till it falls in piles so while...
Everyone thinks
That I have it all
But it's so empty
Living behind these castle walls
These castle walls
If I should tumble
If I should fall
Would anyone hear me
Screaming behind these castle walls
There's no one here at all
Behind these castle walls
