Simak lirik dan chord lagu "Castle Walls" oleh T.I. dan Christina Aguilera.

[Hook: Christina Aguilera]
Em
Everyone thinks that I have it all
D                                                           G
But it's so empty living behind these castle walls
These castle walls
Em
If I should tumble if I should fall
D                                                                      G
Would anyone hear me screaming behind these castle walls

There's no-one here at all, behind these castle walls

[Verse 1: T.I.]
Em
Observing the estate through the gate from the outside looking in
D                                                            G
Bet you would think I got it made, better look again

I got a butler, got a maid, and a mansion
Em
The belief is that I'm living out a millionaire's fantasy
D                                               G
With phantoms and ferrari's in the driveway

But you see the fame's in exchange for the same man's sanity
Em 
Your vision jaded by the Grammy's on the mantelpiece
D                                                                      G
Just switch your camera lenses you would see the agony

Apparently, it's damaging the man you see before you
Em
On the canvas, he may seem alright but all the disadvantages his family
D                                         G
Encounters overshadows his extravagance

Walk in my nines a while I dare you, would it scare you
Em
While it surely seem like King's life ain't glamorous
D                                                     G
As seen through the eyes of untrained amateurs

Because the camera doesn't see beyond the walls of the smiles

Only counts until it falls in the pile

[Ulangi Hook]

[Verse 2: T.I.]
Em    D    G
Honestly to me, I think I'd lose every benefit of all that I've accomplished
If my kids never win at shit
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 opportunity
But they just don't equate to all the time they take away
From the kids all the shit 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 shit
Be relevant if you found out, Domani wasn't rich, nope
So me being the G.O.A.T. shouldn't mean more to me
Than seeing to it King go
From a badass kid to a man with some dough
Otherwise I may as well have stayed poor
Otherwise I may well have stayed poor
So while they stay focused on me beefin with Flip
Shawty Lo, Gucci or Ludacris
Or if I'm fucking with a ho
Did I snitch when I got arrested or will I die over nonsense
Internally I'm dealing with this conflict
So excuse me if I don't get the chance to kiss the hand
That slap me in the face, ay I'm just a man
If they saying I ain't the best at making hit records
It's cause this my life these ain't just rapping
Shit, you think of that deep, did you dawg
See you can't see the castle through the walls till it falls
Bitch ain't thinking with the deep, did you dawg
Cause see you can't see the castle through the walls till it falls
