Castle Walls
作詞:Holly Brook, Alexander Junior Grant, Clifford Harris
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 a butler, got a maid, and a mansion The belief is that I'm living out a millionaire's fantasy With Phantoms and Ferraris in the driveway But you see, it came in exchange of a sane man's sanity
Your vision jaded by the Grammys 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 nine's a while, I dare you, it'll scare you
While it surely seem like the king life seem glamorous As seen through the eyes of untrained amateurs Because the camera doesn't see beyond the walls of the smiles On the castle 'til it falls in a 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 win at shit 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 the opportunity That they just don't equate to all the time they take away From the kids all the shit I did right's a mistake If they should end up a stripper and make jack slanging 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 rich, 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 and Shawty Lo Gucci or Ludacris, or if I'm fucking with a ho 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 更多更詳盡歌詞 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網 That slapped 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 records
Bet you ain't think at all nigga that deep, did ya dawg? See you can't see the castle for the walls 'til it falls Bet ain't think it was that deep, did ya dawg? 'Cause see you can't see the castle for the walls 'til 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 shit again My career was meant for me to come and tell you this Honest interpretation of how affected when faced with Matters most rappers choose to keep Locked away in the basement
Every day that I walk away I ain't sayin' that I'm amazin' Downplaying the way I kept fellas from catchin' cases Won't take into consideration how much it mean what I'm saying If when I say what I mean Even when I'm surrounded by the fakers
From one of the greatest sinners Blessed with most of God's graces Who made his way amongst the greatest From the grimiest places
So next time you rating royalty And more is being given to recordings Than the level of your loyalty You obviously been ignoring me
Who else ya seen make it through the storm Unharmed this charmin' While all the critics was looking for Prince Charmin' Disregarded the King of the South but raised doubt
Even though he made a castle out what used to be a house He did shit that all your favorite rappers only rap about But most of y'all don't see the castle for the walls And it smiles 'til it falls into 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
