Castle

I built this castle, now we are trapped on the throne I'm sorry, we're alone I wrote my chapter You'll turn the page when I'm gone I hope you'll sing along This is your song I just want you to know that I ain't scared Whatever it takes to raise you, I'm prepared To do whatever, to do whatever December 1st, 1995, dear Hailie This is your song

You'll be coming out of mommy's stomach soon I better do something quick if I'ma be able to support you I can barely support me, but as long as you're healthy That's all that matters for the time being But obviously, assuming you will be, just thinking ahead I'ma make it if it kills me Let's see how far I can take it with this music I'm getting sick of chasing this illusion Sorry for sloppy writing The pen in my hand's shaking, please excuse me Dad's a little nervous, but at the same time excited If I use this same energy while I'm saying rhymes and write 'em With the same passion and the same exact enthusiasm As I'm using in this letter maybe they can feel me as I'm Trying to build these castles out of sand, baby girl For you to sit on the throne, I got plans, baby girl Welcome to mom and dad's crazy world Love, daddy

To do whatever, to do whatever December 1st, 1996, dear Hailie

You got your momma's personality, same eyes as I got Her beautiful smile, but your ears are the same size as mine are Sorry for that, a little minor mishap But you'll grow into 'em baby I'm on the grind now I'm doing little shows, open mics, all-nighters and studios While I'm tryna keep the lights on Why does it seem like I'm so close to this dream, yet so far? I just keep steering I'm gonna turn into someone I haven't the slightest clue what I'm gonna do if it falls through You took your first steps today, you'll probably walk soon My Infinite CD flopped, too many soft tunes They're talking bad about dad, it's ticking me off too Makes me feel like I don't belong or something, ooh
