[00:11.664][Verse 1:]
[00:26.502] My castle started shrinking, something's gotta give
[00:29.767] Ended up being the smallest place that I had ever lived
[00:32.849] One of the reasons I would do away with fame, to say the least
[00:36.115] Don't know who these people are, their names ain't on the lease
[00:39.641] It's a different type of monster, entertainment is a beast
[00:42.541] Was supposed to eat together, then I became the main feast
[00:45.702] If you preying on my kindness, taking advantage of Joe's cool
[00:49.672] I'd have to ask, what's your definition of soul food?
[00:52.938] I bust my ass for my whole life, and I worked hard for my profit
[00:56.124] And envy I know cuts like a knife, so you probably work hard to stop it
[00:59.442] If you know me like you claim then how could you disregard my logic?
[01:02.681] You know I cut my arm short and put my heart in my pocket
[01:06.025] A pretty good judge of character, maybe I mistaked a few
[01:09.525] Cut some people off, but had no choice, it's what they made me do
[01:12.712] Why would you take advantage when it's something I'd have gave to you?
[01:16.030] And in the long run, it doesn't take from me, it takes from you
[01:19.844] You'll probably tell me I'm a ****ed up nigga
[01:22.639] You got it wrong, I just won't be ****ed up with you
[01:25.930] Which forces me get distant, and I never want to act a way with you
[01:29.274] But passion and desire never blends with lackadaisical
[01:32.800] No longer enable you, that's no longer favorable
[01:35.935] But pride is on your sleeve so you'll just act like nothing phases you
[01:40.872] Which can never equal good, in fact
[01:42.701] So love can't be lost, I know exactly where I put it at
[01:45.888][Interlude:]
[01:49.388] Word. Got no problem with nobody though
[01:55.501] So have no problem with me. Figured
[02:00.804] No beef, no malice. I got no vendetta with y'all
[02:06.890] So I only want better for myself
[02:09.999] Might even want better for y'all
[02:12.062][Verse 2:]
[02:12.533] My castle started shrinking, I tried my best to fight it
[02:15.693] Don't know how it happened, don't know how they got invited
[02:19.011] Was good with cabin fever, and maybe that helped create the space
[02:22.590] **** your good intentions, more concerned with what's taking place
[02:25.672] But everyone feels entitled, made up their mind they got a right to
[02:28.755] My peers transforming right before my eyes into my rivals
[02:32.229] Y'all can have the cars, ya'll can have the clothes, take all that shit that I don't love
[02:36.017] I'm learning fast that recognition is it's own drug
[02:39.099] And what's worse than some of your actions being feminine
[02:42.391] Is I got no way of knowing if your moves are really genuine
[02:45.551] You there when it's bright, better be there when it's dark
[02:48.529] You wasn't there for the ride, don't be there when I park
[02:51.481] Figure I love niggas enough to let the world come and stay with me
[02:55.609] And I'll stay trapped in this room to keep ya'll away from me
[02:59.031] What's supposed to happen when I'm not hot anymore?
[03:01.773] Your job rely on me being crazy, but what if I'm not anymore?
[03:05.117] The funny shit, them molly's were cool when we all were doing em
[03:08.670] But nobody recalled when I was the only one they were ruining
[03:11.778] I learned a long time ago in life that not much is fair
[03:15.409] So No Love Lost, but not much is there
[03:18.988] Deja vu, this happened rapidly before
[03:21.783] Everyday's a constant struggle and you're a casualty of war
[03:26.538] Which could only equal good, in fact
[03:28.836] So love isn't lost, I know exactly where I put it at
