Castles

(Intro)
 Some things need to be said
 So when I step
 Uh
 I'll only say this one time
 Just once
 Just listen
 Check this!
 (Verse)
 My castles 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 would fame to say the least
 Don't know who this people love, their names aren't on the list
 It's a different type of monster, entertainment is a beast,
 Were supposed to eat together, then I became the main feast,
 If you're prayin on my kindness, taking advantage and Joe school
 I'd have to ask what's your definition of soul food?
 I bust my ass 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 can you disregard my logic?
 You know I cut my arms 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 choices, what they made me do
 Why would you take advantage when it's something I'da 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 fucked up nigga
 You got it wrong, I just wanna be fucked up with ya
 Which forces me to get distant and I never wanna act away with you
 But passion and desire never blends with lacks of days ago
 No longer enable you, that's no longer favour you
 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 be lost, I know exactly where I put it at
 (Interlude)
 Word!
 Have no problem with nobody though
 So have no problem with me
 Figure
 It's no beef, no malice
 I got no vendetta with yall
 So I only want better for myself
 Might even want better for yall
 (Verse)
 My castle started shrinking, I tried my best to fight it
 Don't know how it happened, don't know how they got invited
 What's good with cabin fever and maybe they'll help create the space
 Fluck your good intentions, more concerned with what's taking place
 But everyone feels entitled, made up they mind, they got a right to
 My peers transforming right before my eyes into my rivals
 Like I had a car, you can have the clothes
 Take all that shit 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 bright, better be there when it's dark
 You wasn't here 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 yall away from me
 What's supposed to happen when I'm not hot anymore
 Would yall rely on me being crazy, but what if I'm not anymore
 The funny shit, and molies were cool when we all were doing em
 But nobody recalled when I was the only one you were ruinin
 I learned a long time ago in life that not much is fair
 So no love loss, but not much is there
 Déjà vu, this happened rapidly before
 Every day's a constant struggle when 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
