Joe Budden - Castles lyrics

(Intro)

Some things need to be said

So when I step

Uh

I’ll only say this one time

Just once

Just listen

Check this!

(Verse)

My castles started shrinking, something’s gotta give,

Ended up being the smallest place that I had ever lived

One of the reasons I would do away would fame to say the least

Don’t know who this people love, their names aren’t on the list

It’s a different type of monster, entertainment is a beast,

Were supposed to eat together, then I became the main feast,

If you’re prayin on my kindness, taking advantage and Joe school

I’d have to ask what’s your definition of soul food?

I bust my ass for my whole life and I worked hard for my profit

And envy I know cuts like a knife so you probably work hard to stop it

If you know me like you claim then how can you disregard my logic?

You know I cut my arms short and put my heart in my pocket

A pretty good judge of character, maybe I mistaked a few

Cut some people off but had no choices, what they made me do

Why would you take advantage when it’s something I’da gave to you

And in the long run, it doesn’t take from me, it takes from you

You’ll probably tell me I’m a fucked up nigga

You got it wrong, I just wanna be fucked up with ya

Which forces me to get distant and I never wanna act away with you

But passion and desire never blends with lacks of days ago

No longer enable you, that’s no longer favour you

But pride is on your sleeve so you’ll just act like nothing phases you

Which can never equal good in fact

So love can be lost, I know exactly where I put it at


(Interlude)

Word!

Have no problem with nobody though

So have no problem with me

Figure

It’s no beef, no malice

I got no vendetta with yall

So I only want better for myself

Might even want better for yall


(Verse)

My castle started shrinking, I tried my best to fight it

Don’t know how it happened, don’t know how they got invited

What’s good with cabin fever and maybe they’ll help create the space

Fluck your good intentions, more concerned with what’s taking place

But everyone feels entitled, made up they mind, they got a right to

My peers transforming right before my eyes into my rivals

Like I had a car, you can have the clothes

Take all that shit that I don’t love

I’m learning fast that recognition is it's own drug

And what’s worse than some of your actions being feminine

Is I got no way of knowing if your moves are really genuine

You there when it’s bright, better be there when it’s dark

You wasn’t here for the ride, don’t be there when I park

Figure I love niggas enough to let the world come and stay with me

And I’ll stay trapped in this room to keep yall away from me

What’s supposed to happen when I’m not hot anymore

Would yall rely on me being crazy, but what if I’m not anymore

The funny shit, and molies were cool when we all were doing em

But nobody recalled when I was the only one you were ruinin

I learned a long time ago in life that not much is fair

So no love loss, but not much is there

Déjà vu, this happened rapidly before

Every day’s a constant struggle when you’re a casualty of war

Which could only equal good in fact

So love isn’t lost, I know exactly where I put it at
