Everyone thinks that I have it all

But it′s so empty living behind these castle walls

These castle wallsIf 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 butler, got a maid, and a mansion

The belief is that I′m living out a millionaires fantasy

With phantoms and Ferrari's in the driveway

But you see the pain and the change of the sane man's sanity

Your vision jaded by the grammy′s on the mantelpiece

Just switch your camera lenses you would see the agony

Apparently it′s damaging the man you see before you

On the canvas he may seem alright but all the disadvantages his family

Encounters overshadows his extravagance

Walk in my nikes while I dare you I'll scare you

While it really seem like the kings life′s ain't glamorous

As seen through the eyes of untrained amateurs

Because the camera don′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 kids never went through shit

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 favorite song about the whips, money and shit

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 fucking 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 the chance to kiss the hand

That slap me in the face, ay I'm just a man

If they saying I ain′t the best at making hit records

It′s cause this my life these ain't just rapping

Shit, you think of that deep, did ya dog

See you can′t see the castle through the walls till it falls

Bitch 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 is beautiful

But there's no place to fall

For the record aye, I give a damn if I never said shit again

My career was meant for me to come and tell this

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 away that 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 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 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 shit that all your favorites 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
