Joe Budden - Castles lyrics

Some things need to be said So why don't I say it I'll only say this one time Just once, Just listen Check this My castle 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 with fame, to say the least Don't know who these people are, their names ain't on the lease It's a different type of monster, entertainment is a beast Was supposed to eat together, then I became the main feast If you preying on my kindness, taking advantage of Joe's cool I'd have to ask, what's your definition of soul food? I bust my a** 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 could you disregard my logic? You know I cut my arm 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 choice, it's what they made me do Why would you take advantage when it's something I'd have 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 f**ed up n***a You got it wrong, I just won't be f**ed up with you Which forces me to get distant, and I never want to act a way with you But pa**ion and desire never blends with lackadaisical No longer enable you, that's no longer favourable 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't be lost, I know exactly where I put it at Word. Got no problem with nobody though So have no problem with me. Figured It's no beef, no malice. I got no vendetta with y'all So I only want better for myself Might even want better for y'all My castle started shrinking, I tried my best to fight it Don't know how it happened, don't know how they got invited Was good with cabin fever, and maybe that helped create the space f** your good intentions, more concerned with what's taking place But everyone feels entitled, made up their mind they got a right to My peers transforming right before my eyes into my rivals Y'all can have the cars, y'all can have the clothes, take all that sh** 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 right, better be there when it's dark You wasn't there for the ride, don't be there when I park Figure I love n***as enough to let the world come and stay with me And I'll stay trapped in this room to keep y'all away from me What's supposed to happen when I'm not hot anymore? Your job rely on me being crazy, but what if I'm not anymore? The funny sh**, them molly's were cool when we all were doing 'em But nobody recalled when I was the only one they were ruining I learned a long time ago in life that not much is fair So No Love Lost, but not much is there Deja vu, this happened rapidly before Everyday's a constant struggle and 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
