Castle

공유하기
I built this castle
now we are trapped
on the throne
I'm sorry we’re alone
I wrote my chapter
You'll turn the page
when I'm gone
I hope you’ll sing along
This is your song
I just want you to know
that I ain't scared
Whatever it takes to raise you
I'm prepared
To do whatever to do whatever
December 1st 1995 dear Hailie
This is your song
You'll be coming out
of mommy's stomach soon
I better do something quick
if I'ma be able to support you
I can barely support me
but as long as you're healthy
That's all that matters
for the time being
But obviously assuming
you will be just thinking ahead
I’ma make it if it kills me
Let’s see how far I can
take it with this music
I'm getting sick of chasing
this illusion
Sorry for sloppy writing
The pen in my hand’s shaking
please excuse me
Dad's a little nervous
but at the same time excited
If I use this same energy
while I'm saying rhymes
and write 'em
With the same passion
and the same exact enthusiasm
As I’m using in this letter
maybe they can feel me as I'm
Trying to build these castles
out of sand baby girl
For you to sit on the throne
I got plans baby girl
Welcome to mom
and dad's crazy world
Love daddy
Maple flavored kisses
buttered pancakes and syrup
I built this castle
now we are trapped on the throne
I'm sorry we're alone
I wrote my chapter
You'll turn the page
when I'm gone
I hope you'll sing along
This is your song
I just want you to know
that I ain't scared
Whatever it takes to raise you
I'm prepared
To do whatever to do whatever
December 1st 1996 dear Hailie
You got your momma's personality
same eyes as I got
Her beautiful smile
but your ears are the same
size as mine are
Sorry for that a little minor mishap
But you'll grow into 'em baby
I'm on the grind now
I'm doing little shows
open mics all-nighters
and studios
While I'm tryna keep the lights on
Why does it seem
like I'm so close
to this dream yet so far
I just keep steering
I'm gonna turn into someone
I haven't the slightest clue
what I'm gonna do
if it falls through
You took your first steps today
you'll probably walk soon
My Infinite CD flopped
too many soft tunes
They're talking bad about dad
it's ticking me off too
Makes me feel like I don't belong
or something ooh
I think I might have just
stumbled onto something new
Got a prediction for the future
I'm hoping it's you
Open this envelope
when you're older
and it holds true
I built this castle
now we are trapped
on the throne
I'm sorry we're alone
I wrote my chapter
You'll turn the page
when I'm gone
I hope you'll sing along
This is your song
I just want you to know
that I ain't scared
Whatever it takes to raise you
I'm prepared
To do whatever to do whatever
December 24th 2007 dear Hailie
Now if you found these letters
I guess I better try to explain
A lot's happened in between 'em
since I rised to this fame
I've said your name but always
tried to hide your face
This game is crazy
I wanted to claim my love
for you but damn
I never knew it'd be like this
If I did I wouldn't have done it
You ain't asked for none of this shit
Now you're being punished
Things that should've been
private with me
and your mother is public
I can't stomach they can take
this fame back I don't want it
I'll put out this last album
then I'm done with it
One-hundred percent finished
Fed up with it
I'm hanging it up fuck it
Excuse the cursing baby
but just know
That I'm a good person
though they portray me as cold
And if things should worsen
don't take this letter
I wrote as a goodbye note
'Cause your dad's at
the end of his rope
I'm sliding down a slippery slope
Anyways sweetie I better go
I'm getting sleepy
Love dad
Shit I don't know
