Castle Walls chords and lyrics - CHRISTINA AGUILERA AND T.I.

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Em]Everyone thinks that I have it all
But it's so [D]empty living behind
these castle [G]walls
These castle walls
If I should [Em]tumble if I should fall
Would any one [D]hear me screaming
behind these castle [G]walls
There's no-one here here at all,
behind these castle walls
[Em][D][G]

[Verse 2]
[G]
Observing the [Em]es tate through
the gate from the outside looking in
[D]Bet you would think I got it made,
better look again
[Em]I got butl[G]er, got a maid,
and a mansion
The belief is that I'm living out
a millionaires fantasy
[Em]With phantoms and Ferrari's
in the driveway
But you see [D]I came and exchanged
of a sane man's sanity,
[G]Your vision jaded by the
Grammy's on the mantelpiece
Just switch your camera lenses
you would see [D]the agony
[Em]Ap parently it's damaging
the man you see before you
On the [D]canvas he may seem alright
But all the disadvantages
His [G]family encounters overshadows
his extravagance
Walk in my nines a while,
I dare you I'll [D]scare you
While [Em]it really seem like the kings
life ain't glamorous
[D]As seen through the eyes
of untrained amateurs
[G]Because the camera's don't see
beyond the walls of the smiles
Only counts until it [D]falls in the pile

[Verse 3]
Everyone [Em]thinks that I have it all
But it's so [D]empty living behind
these [G]castle walls
These castle walls
[D]If I should [Em]tumble if I should fall
Would any one [D]hear me screaming
behind these castle wall[G]s
There's no-one here here at all,
behind these [D]castle [Em]walls

[Verse 4]
Honestly to me, I think I'd lose every benefit
[D]
Of all that I've accomplished
If my kids never win at shit
Me know[G]ing this,
why should the verses I have laid
Be more important to me than
the persons I have raised
[Em]I guess I'm saying that
to say that opportunity
But [D]they just don't equate to all
the time they take away
From [Em]the kids all [G]the shit
I did right is a mistake
If Deyjah end up a stripper
and Major slinging [D]yay
[Em]How could I ever consider myself a great
If [D]Messiah ain't paid and Nique Nique ain't
straight
[G]Would your favorite song about the whips,
money and shit
Be relevant if you found out,
the money wasn't [D]real, [Em]nope
So me being the goat should
[D]n't mean more to me
Than see it to a king though
From a [G]bad ass kid to man
with some dough
Otherwise I may well have stayed poor
So while they stay [Em]focused on
me beefin' with flip,
[D]Shawty low, Gucci or Ludacris
Or if I'm fucking with a hoe
Did I snitch [G]when I got arrested
or will I die over nonsense
Internally I'm dealing with this conflict
[D]So excuse [Em]me if I don't get
the chance to kiss the hand
[D]Or slap me in the face, aye I'm just the man
If [G]they saying I ain't the best
at making hit records
It's cause this my life these
ain't just rapping
Shit, [Em]you think of that deep, did ya dog
[D]See you can't see the castle
through the walls till it falls
[G]Bitch ain't thinking with the deep,
did ya dog
Cause see you can't see the castle
through the [D]walls till it falls

[Verse 5]
Everyone [Em]thinks that I have it all
But it's so [D]empty living behind
these [G]castle walls
These castle walls
[D]If I should [Em]tumble if I should fall
Would any one [D]hear me screaming
behind these [G]castle walls
There's no-one here here at
all, behind these [D]castle walls

[Verse 6]
[Em]Nobody knows I'm all alone
Living [D]in this castle made of stone
[G]They say that money is freedom
But I feel trapped inside it all
And while I [Em]sit so high up on a throne
I [D]wonder how I can feel this low
On [G]top of the world it's beautiful
But there's no [D]place to fall
[Em]For the record aye,

[Verse 7]
[Em]
I give a damn if I never said shit again
[D]My career was meant for me
to come and tell this
[Em]Hon est interp[G]retation of
how affected I'm faced with
Matters most rappers used to keep
locked away in the basement
The [Em]day that I walk I ain't
saying that I'm amazing
[D]Down playing the way I keep fellas
from catching cases
Won't [G]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 [Em]one of the greatest sinners,
blessed with most of god's graces
Who [D]made his way amongst the
greatest from the grimiest places
[G]So next time you rating royalty,
I'm always being given to
recordings than the level
Of [D]your loyalty,
[Em]obvious you've been ignoring me
Who else ya seen [D]make it through the storm,
unharmed disjointed
[G]While all the critics was looking
for prince charming
Disregarded the king of
the south raised doubt
Even [D]though he made a [Em]castle
out of used to be a house
He [D]did shit that all your favorites
rappers only rap about
[G]But most of y'all don't see
the castle for the walls
And the smiles till it falls
[D]in piles so while

[Verse 8]
Everyone [Em]thinks that I have it all
But it's so [D]empty living behind
these [G]castle walls
These castle walls
[D]If I should [Em]tumble if I should fall
Would any one [D]hear me screaming
behind these castle [G]walls
There's no-one here here at
all, behind these castle walls
