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 any one 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 buttler, got a maid, and a mansion

the belief is that i’m living out a millionaires fantasy

with pantoms and ferrari’s in the driveway

but you see the pain and the change of the same man’s Sanity

your vision jaded by the grammy’s on the mantelpiece

just switch your camera lenses you would see the agony

apparantly it’s damaging the man you see before you

on the canvas he may seem alright

but all the diasadvantages his family

encounters overshadowed his extravagance

walk in my ? i dare you would scared you

while it really seem like the kings life aint glamourous

as seen through the eyes of untrained amateurs

because the camera’s doesn’t see beyond the walls of the smiles

only counts until 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 any one 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 key is never with it, sh-t

me knowing this, why should the verses i have laid

be more important to me than the persons i have raised

i guess i’m saying that to say that opportunity

but they just don’t equate to all the time they take away

from the kids all the shit i did right is a mistake

if deyjah end 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

would your favourite song about the whips, money and sh-t

be relevant if you found out, the money wasn’t real, nope

so me being the goat shouldn’t mean more to me

than see it to a king though

from a bad ass kid to man with some dough

otherwise i may well have stayed poor

so while they stay focused on me beefin with flip,

shawty low, gucci or ludacris

or if i’m f-cking with a hoe

did i snitch when i got arrested or will i die over nonesense

internally i’m dealing with this conflict

so excuse me if i don’t get the chance to kiss the hand

or slap me in the face, ay i,m just the man

if they saying i ain’t the best at making hit records

it’s cause this my life these ain’t just rapping

sh-t, you think of that deep, did ya dawg

see you can’t see the castle through the walls till it falls

***** ain’t thinking with the 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 any one 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 how i can feel this low

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 sh-t again

my career was meant for me to come and tell it

honest interpretation of how affected i’m faced with

matters most rappers used to keep locked away in the basement

the day that i walk i ain’t saying that i’m amazing

down playing 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 sorrounded 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 your 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

even though he made a castle out of used to be a house

he did sh-t that all your favourites 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 any one hear me screaming behind these castle walls

there’s no-one here at all, behind these castle walls
