Castle Walls (Feat. Christina Aguilera) - T.I.
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 phantoms 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 overshadows
his extravagance
walk in my nines i dare you
i scare you
while it really seem like
the kings life aint glamourous
as seen through the eyes
of untrained amateurs
because the camera's 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 key is never with it sht
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 ooportunity
but they just don't equate
to all the time they take away
from the kids all the sht
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 sht
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 fcking 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 im 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
sht you think of that deep
did ya dawg
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 it's beautiful
but there's no place to fall
for the record ay
i give a damn if i never
said sht 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 sht 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
