Castle Walls - T.I./Christina Aguilera.mp3

[00:01.50]Everyone thinks that i have it all
[00:03.28]but it’s so empty living behind these castle walls
[00:09.81]these castle walls
[00:14.44]if i should tumble if i should fall
[00:17.74]would any one hear me screaming behind these castle walls
[00:22.68]there’s no-one here at all, behind these castle walls
[00:29.98]
[00:41.55]observing the estate through the gate from the outside looking in
[00:44.38]bet you would think i got it made, better look again
[00:47.77]i got buttler, got a maid, and a mansion
[00:50.45]the belief is that i’m living out a millionaires fantasy
[00:53.63]with pantoms and ferrari’s in the driveway
[00:55.95]but you see the pain and the change of the same man’s Sanity
[00:59.15]your vision jaded by the grammy’s on the mantelpiece
[01:02.67]just switch your camera lenses you would see the agony
[01:05.24]apparantly it’s damaging the man you see before you
[01:08.25]on the canvas he may seem alright
[01:10.34]but all the diasadvantages his family
[01:12.19]encounters overshadowed his extravagance
[01:14.41]walk in my ? i dare you would scared you
[01:16.64]while it really seem like the kings life aint glamourous
[01:20.46]as seen through the eyes of untrained amateurs
[01:23.39]because the camera’s doesn’t see beyond the walls of the smiles
[01:27.12]only counts until it falls in the pile
[01:28.78]
[01:28.97]everyone thinks that i have it all
[01:31.21]but it’s so empty living behind these castle walls
[01:36.05]these castle walls
[01:38.94]if i should tumble if i should fall
[01:42.78]would any one hear me screaming behind these castle walls
[01:48.38]there’s no-one here at all, behind these castle walls
[01:50.86]
[01:53.65]honestly to me,
[01:54.73]i think i’d lose every benefit of all that i’ve accomplished
[01:57.10]if my key is never with it, sh-t
[01:59.20]me knowing this, why should the verses i have laid
[02:01.22]be more important to me than the persons i have raised
[02:04.27]i guess i’m saying that to say that opportunity
[02:07.64]but they just don’t equate to all the time they take away
[02:10.56]from the kids all the shit i did right is a mistake
[02:13.47]if deyjah end up a stripper and major slinging yay
[02:16.10]how could i ever consider myself a great
[02:19.36]if messiah ain’t paid and nique nique ain’t straight
[02:22.72]would your favourite song about the whips, money and sh-t
[02:25.29]be relevant if you found out, the money wasn’t real, nope
[02:28.59]so me being the goat shouldn’t mean more to me
[02:32.91]than see it to a king though
[02:34.39]from a bad ass kid to man with some dough
[02:37.23]otherwise i may well have stayed poor
[02:39.79]so while they stay focused on me beefin with flip,
[02:42.36]shawty low, gucci or ludacris
[02:44.58]or if i’m f-cking with a hoe
[02:46.37]did i snitch when i got arrested or will i die over nonesense
[02:49.16]internally i’m dealing with this conflict
[02:51.78]so excuse me if i don’t get the chance to kiss the hand
[02:55.14]or slap me in the face, ay i,m just the man
[02:58.12]if they saying i ain’t the best at making hit records
[03:01.45]it’s cause this my life these ain’t just rapping
[03:03.89]sh-t, you think of that deep, did ya dawg
[03:07.14]see you can’t see the castle through the walls till it falls
[03:09.90]***** ain’t thinking with the deep, did ya dog
[03:12.60]cause see you can’t see the castle through the walls till it falls
[03:14.96]
[03:15.19]everyone thinks that i have it all
[03:17.98]but it’s so empty living behind these castle walls
[03:22.74]these castle walls
[03:25.94]if i should tumble if i should fall
[03:29.69]would any one hear me screaming behind these castle walls
[03:34.53]there’s no-one here at all, behind these castle walls
[03:37.61]
[03:39.94]nobody knows i’m all alone
[03:42.06]living in this castle made of stone
[03:45.18]they say that money is freedom but i feel trapped inside it all
[03:50.53]and while i sit so high up on a throne
[03:54.01]i wonder how i can feel this low
[03:57.16]on top of the world it’s beautiful
[03:59.98]but there’s no place to fall
[04:02.18]
[04:02.42]for the record ay, i give a damn if i never said sh-t again
[04:06.30]my career was meant for me to come and tell it
[04:08.87]honest interpretation of how affected i’m faced with
[04:12.27]matters most rappers used to keep locked away in the basement
[04:14.90]the day that i walk i ain’t saying that i’m amazing
[04:17.93]down playing the way i keep fellas from catching cases
[04:20.88]won’t take into consideration
[04:22.73]how much it mean what i’m saying
[04:23.86]and when i say what i mean even
[04:25.71]when i’m sorrounded by the fakers
[04:27.22]from one of the greatest centers,
[04:29.03]blessed with most of god’s graces
[04:30.07]who made his way amongst the greatest
[04:31.72]from the grimiest places
[04:32.94]so next time you rating royalty,
[04:35.28]i’m always being given to recordings than the level
[04:38.05]of your loyalty, obvious you’ve been ignoring me
[04:40.85]who else ya seen make it through the storm,
[04:43.17]unharmed disjointed
[04:44.61]while all the critics was looking for prince charming
[04:47.64]disregarded the king of the south raised doubt
[04:50.48]even though he made a castle out of used to be a house
[04:53.53]he did sh-t that all your favourites rappers only rap about
[04:56.34]but most of y’all don’t see the castle through the walls
[04:59.67]and the smiles till it falls in piles so while…
[05:01.63]
[05:02.27]everyone thinks that i have it all
[05:04.69]but it’s so empty living behind these castle walls
[05:09.44]these castle walls
[05:13.70]if i should tumble if i should fall
[05:16.39]would any one hear me screaming behind these castle walls
[05:21.47]there’s no-one here at all, behind these castle walls
