Castles (Explicit) - Joe Budden
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**ked up ni**a
You got it wrong I just won't be f**ked up with you
Which forces me get distant and I never want to act a way with you
But passion and desire never blends with lackadaisical
No longer enable you that's no longer favorable
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
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**k 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 ya'll can have the clothes
Take all that sh*t that I don't love
I'm learning fast that recognition is it's own **
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 niggas enough to let the world come and stay with me
And I'll stay trapped in this room to keep ya'll 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*t 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
