[length: 04:15]
[00:00.42]I built this castle, now we are trapped on the throne
[00:07.29]I’m sorry, we’re alone
[00:11.53]I wrote my chapter
[00:14.72]You’ll turn the page when I’m gone
[00:18.67]I hope you’ll sing along
[00:22.19]This is your song
[00:23.80]I just want you to know that I ain’t scared
[00:25.91]Whatever it takes to raise you, I’m prepared
[00:28.62]To do whatever, to do whatever
[00:30.92]December 1st, 1995, dear Hailie
[00:34.00]This is your song
[00:34.89]You’ll be coming out of mommy’s stomach soon
[00:36.56]I better do something quick if I’ma be able to support you
[00:39.66]I can barely support me, but as long as you’re healthy
[00:42.44]That’s all that matters for the time being
[00:44.41]But obviously, assuming you will be, just thinking ahead
[00:47.27]I’ma make it if it kills me
[00:49.21]Let’s see how far I can take it with this music
[00:51.32]I’m getting sick of chasing this illusion
[00:53.44]Sorry for sloppy writing
[00:54.84]The pen in my hand’s shaking, please excuse me
[00:56.91]Dad’s a little nervous, but at the same time excited
[00:59.65]If I use this same energy while I’m saying rhymes and write ’em
[01:02.48]With the same passion and the same exact enthusiasm
[01:04.93]As I’m using in this letter maybe they can feel me as I’m
[01:08.07]Trying to build these castles out of sand, baby girl
[01:10.95]For you to sit on the throne, I got plans, baby girl
[01:13.79]Welcome to mom and dad’s crazy world
[01:15.92]Love, daddy
[01:17.06]Maple flavored kisses, buttered pancakes, and syrup
[01:19.47]I built this castle, now we are trapped on the throne
[01:26.25]I’m sorry, we’re alone
[01:30.66]I wrote my chapter
[01:33.80]You’ll turn the page when I’m gone
[01:37.47]I hope you’ll sing along
[01:41.23]This is your song
[01:42.80]I just want you to know that I ain’t scared
[01:44.97]Whatever it takes to raise you, I’m prepared
[01:47.45]To do whatever, to do whatever
[01:50.02]December 1st, 1996, dear Hailie
[01:53.00]You got your momma’s personality, same eyes as I got
[01:56.25]Her beautiful smile, but your ears are the same size as mine are
[01:59.71]Sorry for that, a little minor mishap
[02:02.37]But you’ll grow into ’em baby
[02:03.91]I’m on the grind now
[02:05.16]I’m doing little shows, open mics, all-nighters and studios
[02:07.98]While I’m tryna keep the lights on
[02:09.89]Why does it seem like I’m so close to this dream, yet so far?
[02:12.57]I just keep steering
[02:14.10]I’m gonna turn into someone
[02:15.63]I haven’t the slightest clue what I’m gonna do if it falls through
[02:18.81]You took your first steps today, you’ll probably walk soon
[02:21.51]My Infinite CD flopped, too many soft tunes
[02:24.49]They’re talking bad about dad, it’s ticking me off too
[02:27.10]Makes me feel like I don’t belong or something, ooh
[02:29.75]I think I might have just stumbled onto something new
[02:32.65]Got a prediction for the future, I’m hoping it’s you
[02:35.55]Open this envelope when you’re older and it holds true
[02:38.25]I built this castle, now we are trapped on the throne
[02:45.68]I’m sorry, we’re alone
[02:49.92]I wrote my chapter
[02:52.82]You’ll turn the page when I’m gone
[02:56.73]I hope you’ll sing along
[03:00.28]This is your song
[03:02.03]I just want you to know that I ain’t scared
[03:04.00]Whatever it takes to raise you, I’m prepared
[03:06.62]To do whatever, to do whatever
[03:08.83]December 24th, 2007, dear Hailie
[03:11.78]Now if you found these letters, I guess I better try to explain
[03:15.07]A lot’s happened in between ’em, since I rised to this fame
[03:17.95]I’ve said your name but always tried to hide your face
[03:20.49]This game is crazy, I wanted to claim my love for you but damn
[03:23.43]I never knew it’d be like this
[03:25.47]If I did I wouldn’t have done it
[03:26.96]You ain’t asked for none of this shit
[03:28.35]Now you’re being punished?
[03:29.63]Things that should’ve been private with me and your mother is public
[03:32.05]I can’t stomach, they can take this fame back, I don’t want it
[03:34.74]I’ll put out this last album then I’m done with it
[03:37.30]One-hundred percent finished
[03:38.96]Fed up with it, I’m hanging it up, fuck it
[03:40.87]Excuse the cursing, baby, but just know
[03:43.31]That I’m a good person, though they portray me as cold
[03:46.08]And, if things should worsen,
[03:47.55]Take this letter I wrote as a goodbye note
[03:49.71]Because your dad’s at the end of his rope
[03:51.93]I’m sliding down a slippery slope
[03:53.71]Anyways sweetie, I better go, I’m getting sleepy
[03:56.37]Love dad
[03:57.59]Shit, I don’t know
