[Verse 1 - Willis]
This is angelical. These decibels put me on pedestals
What a spectacle! But I keep coming up short... life's recurring decimals
Exceptional skill set, amateur, secret professional
This symphony is edible and my lyrics digestible. It's credible
Do a background check, get a little bit of info. Check the intro
Throw the hate out a window, cause I wanna get a better medicine instead of it, let 'em in
Rocking a letterman, watching Dave Letterman. Irrelevant elephants, I'ma kill 'em for the hell of it
The element I'm lacking is a view from ("behind these castle walls")
Yeah, gotta go right now
Got me feeling like I'm chilling at the goal line now
Every time I get up on the mic I rip it up and I live it up to the dime, I'ma kill 'em with the rhyme
I'ma do it just to do it, cause I do it for the love
They be doing everything they doing cause they truant
And they knowin' I be flowin' better than 'em and I shrug
Cause its not a competition, once again it's for the love
It took years of indecisiveness
And writing just to get me where I am, so feel the life in this
So the day that I die, whenever that may arrive
Just know that I made a difference in this when I was alive
[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 - Willis]
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 - Willis]
Welcome to the come up!
Welcome to my vision
Where everyday's a struggle
But I never lose ambition
When it comes to the aim of the game, and the people know your name... well, hell, I'm missing
And while they sleepin' on me, I dream of myself on television
There's so much on my mind I gotta get out
Depression comes in waves, been up for like three days
Strugglin' to keep myself sane, but all I feel is pain
Forget it. I'm a king, it's spring, so watch me reign
And when love and positivity surround and end this drought
Cause that's my single message, can't you see that's what I'm 'bout?
So when I stop the flow and start to sing
Remember whose voice you're hearing, homie it's the king
[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 3 - Ely Ayers]
Bow! Yo my bad, that's just the battle call
Extroverted letters, people know I get my Scrabble on
Complicated catalog, it keep me up like adderall
King of diamonds making analog behind these castle walls
Imagine what would happen if hip hop wasn't for cash
And every artist who deserved the fame and recognition had it
The road to riches is accessible, but man, there's traffic!
So I wanna take easy street, but I gotta refrain from Google Maps
Made a couple renditions, the stay gold edition, can I kick it?
They say lyrics dead but homie I flip the script
My homie Willy mixed the album up like rum and coke
And here's some killer scribblin' to show you it's legitimate
Y'all need to tighten up this writin' stuff
And find a plug besides it, cause
Dressing just like Wiz and stealing lines can get you sliced and cut
Aye, it's the voodoo of the undiscovered new school
Fall back before you just another dude that bites the dust
[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
