Castle Lyrics - Eminem

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

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 

I think I might have just stumbled onto something new 

Got a prediction for the future, I'm hoping it's you 

Open this envelope when you're older and it holds true 

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 24th, 2007, dear Hailie 

Now if you found these letters, I guess I better try to explain 

A lot's happened in between 'em, since I rised to this fame 

I've said your name but always tried to hide your face 

This game is crazy, I wanted to claim my love for you but damn 

I never knew it'd be like this 

If I did I wouldn't have done it 

You ain't asked for none of this shit 

Now you're being punished? 

Things that should've been private with me and your mother is public 

I can't stomach, they can take this fame back, I don't want it 

I'll put out this last album then I'm done with it 

One-hundred percent finished 

Fed up with it, I'm hanging it up, fuck it 

Excuse the cursing, baby, but just know 

That I'm a good person, though they portray me as cold 

And, if things should worsen, 

take this letter I wrote as a goodbye note 

Because your dad's at the end of his rope 

I'm sliding down a slippery slope 

Anyways sweetie, I better go, I'm getting sleepy 

Love dad 

Shit, I don't know
