Castles

(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 its 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
