T.i. Feat. Christina Aguilera

[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 any one hear me screaming behind these castle walls
there’s no-one here at all, behind these castle walls
[T.I.]
observing the estate through the gate from the outside looking in
bet you would think i got it made, better look again
i got buttler, got a maid, and a mansion
the belief is that i’m living out a millionaires fantasy
with pantoms and ferrari’s in the driveway
but you see the pain and the change of the same man’s
your vision jaded by the grammy’s on the mantelpiece
just switch your camera lenses you would see the agony
apparantly it’s damaging the man you see before you
on the canvas he may seem alright but all the diasadvantages his family
encounters overpowers his extravagance
walk in my ? i dare you
while it really seem like the kings life aint glamourous
as seen through the eyes of untrained amateurs
because the camera’s don’t see beyond the walls of the smiles
only counts until it falls in the pile

honestly to me, i think i’d lose every benefit of all that i’ve accomplished
if my key is never with it, sh-t
me knowing this, why should the verses i have laid
be more important to me than the persons i have raised
i guess i’m saying that to say that ooportunity
but they just don’t equate to all the time they take away
from the kids all the sh-t i did right is a mistake
if deyjah end up a stripper and major slinging yay
how could i ever consider myself a great
if messiah ain’t paid and nique nique ain’t straight
would your favourite song about the whips, money and sh-t
