Castle Walls Lyrics - 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 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 butler, 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 sane man's sanity

POPULAR SONG: Post Malone - 'Circles' - LYRICS 

Your vision jaded by the grammy's 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 nikes while I dare you woulda scare you 

While it really seem like the kings life's ain't glamorous 

As seen through the eyes of untrained amateurs 

Because the camera 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 kids never went through shit 

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 shit 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 favorite song about the whips, money and shit 

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 fucking with a hoe 

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 

shit, 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 is 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 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 away that 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 surrounded 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 shit that all your favorites 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
