[Chorus: Christina Aguilera]
Everyone thinks that I have it all
But it's so empty living behind these castle walls
These castle walls
If I should tumble, if I should fall
Would anyone hear me screaming behind these castle walls
There's no-one here at all, behind these castle walls

[Verse 1: T.I.]
Observing the estate through the gate from the outside looking in
Bet you would think I got it made, better look again
I got a butler, got a maid, and a mansion
The belief is that I'm living out a millionaire's fantasy
With Phantoms and Ferraris in the driveway
But you see, it came in exchange of a sane man's sanity
Your vision jaded by the Grammys on the mantelpiece
Just switch your camera lenses, you would see the agony
Apparently, it's damaging the man you see before you on the canvas
He may seem alright but all the disadvantages
His family encounters overshadows his extravagance
Walk in my nines a while, I dare you, it would scare you
While it surely seem like the King's life seem glamorous
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
[Chorus: Christina Aguilera]
Everyone thinks that I have it all
But it's so empty living behind these castle walls
These castle walls
If I should tumble, if I should fall
Would anyone hear me screaming behind these castle walls
There's no-one here at all
Behind these castle walls

[Verse 2: T.I.]
Honestly to me, I think I'd lose every benefit
Of all that I've accomplished if my kids never win at ****
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 **** 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 ****
Be relevant if you found out, Domani wasn't rich
Nope, so me being the GOAT
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
So while they stay focused on me beefing with Flip or Shawty Lo
Then Gucci or Ludacris or if I'm ******* with a **
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
Betcha ain't think at all it was that deep, did you, dawg?
See, you can't see the castle through the walls till it falls
Bitch ain't think it was that deep, did you, dawg?
'Cause see, you can't see the castle through the walls till it falls
[Chorus: Christina Aguilera]
Everyone thinks that I have it all
But it's so empty living behind these castle walls
These castle walls
If I should tumble, if I should fall
Would anyone hear me screaming behind these castle walls
There's no-one here at all
Behind these castle walls

[Bridge: Christina Aguilera]
Nobody knows I'm all alone
Living in this castle made of stone
They say that money is freedom
But I feel trapped inside it all
And while I sit so high up on a throne
I wonder how I can feel this low
On top of the world, it's beautiful
But there's no place to fall

[Chorus: Christina Aguilera]
Everyone thinks that I have it all
But it's so empty living behind these castle walls
These castle walls (Yeah, yeah)
If I should tumble, if I should fall (If I should tumble)
Would anyone hear me screaming behind these castle walls
There's no-one here at all
Behind these castle walls
