B.o.B - Castles
Everything I ever said
Everything that I have done
Tryna show her it's my time
Building mansions in my mind
Now that's all so yesterday
I'm just lighting up my fire
Tell the world I'm sick, goodbye
You ask me why
I'm building castles in the sky
I'm building castles in the sky
I used to ride around town in a whatchu call it
Looking like a demo rapper, feeling like a dusty wallet
Getting fired, then hired, then re-fired
The idiot's guide to how to build an empire
I show you how to stretch, show you how to pop
Got a watch from my wrist and a watch from my pockets
Rolling from the base line, bottom to the top
Got bullets on speed dial. Yea, I call shots
Now you can't act like you never heard of me
Cause I'm so 3rd degree, everyday I'm burning leafs
I'm in my castle and I'm never coming down
They always said I have my head in the clouds
Everything I ever said
Everything that I have done
Tryna show her it's my time
Building mansions in my mind
Now that's all so yesterday
I'm just lighting up my fire
Tell the world I'm sick, goodbye
I'm building castles in the sky
I'm building castles in the sky
I used to fantasize about the baddest girl I couldn't get with, never
Couldn't get a number, couldn't even get a digit
Then I saw the light, now my nights are proud explicit
I be lost inside the guns, you would've sworn I went missing
God deals pain
Got the whole hood saying damn by the rain, came a mighty long way
No GPS on start of navigation
We self-made niggas, shoutout to my operation
It started in my mind then it started taking shit
I still cannot believe that these have yet to take the place
I'm in my castle and I'm never coming down
It's no wonder why my head is in the clouds
Everything I ever said
Everything that I have done
Tryna show her it's my time
Building mansions in my mind
Now that's all so yesterday
I'm just lighting up my fire
Tell the world I'm sick, goodbye
I'm building castles in the sky
I'm building castles in the sky
Building castles the size of coliseums
Thirty thousand feet up, I swear you gotta see 'em
Cruising altitude with a foolish attitude
Heading for the moon, maybe Mars, maybe Venus
Building castles the size of coliseums
Thirty thousand feet up, I swear you gotta see 'em
Cruising altitude with a foolish attitude
Heading for the moon, maybe Mars, maybe Venus
Everything I ever said
Everything that I have done
Tryna show her it's my time
Building mansions in my mind
Now that's all so yesterday
I'm just lighting up my fire
Tell the world I'm sick, goodbye
I'm building castles in the sky
I'm building castles in the sky
Building castles the size of coliseums
Thirty thousand feet up, I swear you gotta see 'em
Cruising altitude with a foolish attitude
Heading for the moon, maybe Mars, maybe Venus
