Castle Walls (Radio Edit)

[Chorus: Christina Aguilera] 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 anyone hear me screaming behind these castle walls There's no-one here at all, behind these castle walls [Verse 1: T.I.] 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 nines a while, I dare you, it would scare you While it surely seem like the King's life seem glamorous As seen through the eyes of untrained amateurs Because the camera doesn't see beyond the walls of the smiles Only counts until it falls in the pile [Chorus: Christina Aguilera] 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 anyone hear me screaming behind these castle walls There's no-one here at all Behind these castle walls [Verse 2: T.I.] Honestly to me, I think I'd lose every benefit Of all that I've accomplished if my kids never win at **** 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 **** 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 **** Be relevant if you found out, Domani wasn't rich Nope, so me being the GOAT Shouldn't mean more to me than seeing to it King go From a badass kid to a man with some dough Otherwise, I may as well have stayed poor So while they stay focused on me beefing with Flip or Shawty Lo Then Gucci or Ludacris or if I'm ******* with a ** 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 Betcha ain't think at all it was that deep, did you, dawg? See, you can't see the castle through the walls till it falls Bitch ain't think it was that deep, did you, dawg? 'Cause see, you can't see the castle through the walls till it falls [Chorus: Christina Aguilera] 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 anyone hear me screaming behind these castle walls There's no-one here at all Behind these castle walls [Bridge: Christina Aguilera] 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 [Chorus: Christina Aguilera] Everyone thinks that I have it all But it's so empty living behind these castle walls These castle walls (Yeah, yeah) If I should tumble, if I should fall (If I should tumble) Would anyone hear me screaming behind these castle walls There's no-one here at all Behind these castle walls
