Everyone thinks that I have it all[00:00:00]
But it's so empty living behind these castle walls[00:00:03]
These castle walls[00:00:10]
If I should tumble if I should fall[00:00:14]
Would any one hear me screaming behind these castle walls[00:00:17]
There's no-one here at all' behind these castle walls[00:00:23]
Observing the estate through the gate from the outside looking in[00:00:41]
Bet you would think I got it made' better look again[00:00:45]
I got buttler' got a maid' and a mansion[00:00:48]
The belief is that I'm living out a millionaires fantasy[00:00:50]
With pantoms and ferrari's in the driveway[00:00:53]
But you see the pain and the change of the same man's[00:00:56]
Your vision jaded by the grammy's on the mantelpiece[00:01:00]
Just switch your camera lenses you would see the agony[00:01:02]
Apparantly it's damaging the man you see before you[00:01:05]
On the canvas he may seem alright but all the diasadvantages his family[00:01:08]
Encounters overpowers his extravagance[00:01:12]
Walk in my I dare you[00:01:14]
While it really seem like the kings life ain't glamourous[00:01:15]
As seen through the eyes of untrained amateurs[00:01:20]
Because the camera's don't see beyond the walls of the smiles[00:01:23]
Only counts until it falls in the pile[00:01:26]
Everyone thinks that I have it all[00:01:28]
But it's so empty living behind these castle walls[00:01:31]
These castle walls[00:01:37]
If I should tumble if I should fall[00:01:40]
Would any one hear me screaming behind these castle walls[00:01:43]
There's no-one here at all' behind these castle walls[00:01:48]
Honestly to me' I think I'd lose every benefit of all that I've accomplished[00:01:53]
If my key is never with it' sh-t[00:01:57]
Me knowing this' why should the verses I have laid[00:01:59]
Be more important to me than the persons I have raised[00:02:02]
I guess I'm saying that to say that ooportunity[00:02:05]
But they just don't equate to all the time they take away[00:02:07]
From the kids all the sh-t I did right is a mistake[00:02:10]
If deyjah end up a stripper and major slinging yay[00:02:13]
How could I ever consider myself a great[00:02:17]
If messiah ain't paid and nique nique ain't straight[00:02:19]
Would your favourite song about the whips' money and sh-t[00:02:22]
Be relevant if you found out' the money wasn't real' nope[00:02:25]
So me being the goat shouldn't mean more to me[00:02:29]
Than see it to a king though[00:02:33]
From a bad a** kid to man with some dough[00:02:34]
Otherwise I may well have stayed poor[00:02:37]
So while they stay focused on me beefin with flip'Shawty low'[00:02:39]
Gucci or ludacrisOr if I'm f-cking with a hoe[00:02:42]
Did I snitch when I got arrested or will I die over nonesense[00:02:45]
Internally I'm dealing with this conflict[00:02:49]
So excuse me if I don't get the chance to kiss the hand[00:02:51]
Or slap me in the face' ay I' m just the man[00:02:55]
If they saying I ain't the best at making hit records[00:02:58]
It's cause this my life these ain't just rapping[00:03:01]
Sh-t' you think of that deep' did ya dawg[00:03:03]
See you can't see the castle through the walls till it falls[00:03:06]
B**ch ain't thinking with the deep' did ya dog[00:03:09]
Cause see you can't see the castle through the walls till it falls[00:03:13]
Everyone thinks that I have it all[00:03:15]
But it's so empty living behind these castle walls[00:03:18]
These castle walls[00:03:23]
If I should tumble if I should fall[00:03:27]
Would any one hear me screaming behind these castle walls[00:03:30]
There's no-one here at all' behind these castle walls[00:03:35]
Nobody knows I'm all alone[00:03:40]
Living in this castle made of stone[00:03:42]
They say that money is freedom but I feel trapped inside it all[00:03:45]
And while I sit so high up on a throne[00:03:50]
I wonder how I can feel this low[00:03:54]
On top of the world it's beautiful[00:03:57]
But there's no place to fall[00:04:00]
For the record ay' I give a damn if I never said sh*t again[00:04:02]
My career was meant for me to come and tell it[00:04:06]
Honest interpretation of how affected I'm faced with[00:04:08]
Matters most rappers used to keep locked away in the basement[00:04:12]
The day that I walk I ain't saying that I'm amazing[00:04:15]
Down playing the way I keep fellas from catching cases[00:04:18]
Won't take into consideration how much it mean what I'm saying[00:04:20]
And when I say what I mean even when I'm sorrounded by the fakers[00:04:23]
From one of the greatest centers' blessed with most of god's graces[00:04:27]
Who made his way amongst the greatest from the grimiest places[00:04:30]
So next time you rating royalty' I'm always being given to recordings than the level[00:04:33]
Of your loyalty' obvious you've been ignoring me[00:04:38]
Who else ya seen make it through the storm' unharmed disjointed[00:04:41]
While all the critics was looking for prince charming[00:04:45]
Disregarded the king of the south raised doubt[00:04:47]
Even though he made a castle out of used to be a house[00:04:50]
He did sh-t that all your favourites rappers only rap about[00:04:53]
But most of y'all don't see the castle through the walls[00:04:56]
And the smiles till it falls in piles so while...[00:04:59]
Everyone thinks that I have it all[00:05:01]
But it's so empty living behind these castle walls[00:05:04]
These castle walls[00:05:10]
If I should tumble if I should fall[00:05:13]
Would any one hear me screaming behind these castle walls[00:05:17]
There's no-one here at all' behind these castle walls[00:05:21]
