My castle started shrinking,
Ended up being the smallest
place that I had ever lived
One of the reasons I would do away with fame,
Don't know who these people are,
their names ain't on the lease
It's a different type of monster,
Was supposed to eat together,
then I became the main feast
If you preying on my kindness,
taking advantage of Joe's cool
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
could you disregard my logic?
You know I cut my arm short and put
A pretty good judge of character,
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,
You'll probably tell me I'm
I just won't be fucked up with you
Which forces me to 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
But pride is on your sleeve,
so you'll just act like nothing phases you
Which can never equal good, in fact
I know exactly where I put it at
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
Fuck 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
Y'all can have the cars, y'all can have the clothes,
take all that shit that I don't love
I'm learning fast that re
cognition 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 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
And I'll stay trapped in this room to
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 shit, them molly's
were cool when we all were doing 'em
But nobody recalled when I was the only
I learned a long time ago in
life that not much is fair
Deja vu, this happened rapidly
Everyday's a constant struggle
and you're a casualty of war
Which could only equal good, in fact
I know exactly where I put it at
