[00:00:00] Castle(Explicit) - Eminem
[00:00:00] Written by：Marshall Mathers
[00:00:00] I built this castle now we are trapped on the throne
[00:07:00] I"m sorry we"re alone
[00:11:00] I wrote my chapter
[00:15:00] You"ll turn the page when I"m gone
[00:19:00] I hope you"ll sing along
[00:22:00] This is your song
[00:24:00] I just want you to know that I ain"t scared
[00:26:00] Whatever it takes to raise you I"m prepared
[00:28:00] To do whatever to do whatever
[00:32:00] December 1st 1995 dear Hailie
[00:34:00] This is your song
[00:35:00] You"ll be coming out of mommy"s stomach soon
[00:36:00] I better do something quick if I"ma be able to support you
[00:39:00] I can barely support me but as long as you"re healthy
[00:42:00] That"s all that matters for the time being
[00:44:00] But obviously assuming you will be just thinking ahead
[00:47:00] I"ma make it if it kills me
[00:49:00] Let"s see how far I can take it with this music
[00:51:00] I"m getting sick of chasing this illusion
[00:53:00] Sorry for sloppy writing
[00:55:00] The pen in my hand"s shaking please excuse me
[00:57:00] Dad"s a little nervous but at the same time excited
[01:00:00] If I use this same energy while I"m saying rhymes and write "em
[01:02:00] With the same passion and the same exact enthusiasm
[01:05:00] As I"m using in this letter maybe they can feel me as I"m
[01:08:00] Trying to build these castles out of sand baby girl
[01:11:00] For you to sit on the throne I got plans baby girl
[01:14:00] Welcome to mom and dad"s crazy world
[01:16:00] Love daddy
[01:17:00] Maple flavored kisses buttered pancakes and syrup
[01:19:00] I built this castle now we are trapped on the throne
[01:26:00] I"m sorry we"re alone
[01:30:00] I wrote my chapter
[01:34:00] You"ll turn the page when I"m gone
[01:38:00] I hope you"ll sing along
[01:41:00] This is your song
[01:43:00] I just want you to know that I ain"t scared
[01:45:00] Whatever it takes to raise you I"m prepared
[01:47:00] To do whatever to do whatever
[01:51:00] December 1st 1996 dear Hailie
[01:53:00] You got your momma"s personality same eyes as I got
[01:56:00] Her beautiful smile but your ears are the same size as mine are
[02:00:00] Sorry for that a little minor mishap
[02:02:00] But you"ll grow into "em baby
[02:04:00] I"m on the grind now
[02:05:00] I"m doing little shows open mics all nighters at studios
[02:08:00] While I"m tryna keep the lights on
[02:10:00] Why does it seem like I"m so close to this dream yet so far
[02:12:00] I just keep steering
[02:14:00] I"m gonna turn into someone
[02:15:00] I haven"t the slightest clue what I"m gonna do if it falls through
[02:19:00] You took your first steps today you"ll probably walk soon
[02:22:00] My infinite CD flopped too many soft tunes
[02:24:00] They"re talking bad about dad it"s ticking me off too
[02:27:00] Makes me feel like I don"t belong or something ooh
[02:30:00] I think I might have just stumbled onto something new
[02:32:00] Got a prediction for the future I"m hoping it"s you
[02:35:00] Open this envelope when you"re older and it holds true
[02:38:00] I built this castle now we are trapped on the throne
[02:45:00] I"m sorry we"re alone
[02:49:00] I wrote my chapter
[02:53:00] You"ll turn the page when I"m gone
[02:56:00] I hope you"ll sing along
[03:00:00] This is your song
[03:02:00] I just want you to know that I ain"t scared
[03:04:00] Whatever it takes to raise you I"m prepared
[03:07:00] To do whatever to do whatever
[03:10:00] December 24th 2007 dear Hailie
[03:12:00] Now if you found these letters I guess I better try to explain
[03:15:00] A lot"s happened in between "em since I rised to this fame
[03:18:00] I"ve said your name but always tried to hide your face
[03:20:00] This game is crazy I wanted to claim my love for you but damn
[03:23:00] I never knew it"d be like this
[03:25:00] If I did I wouldn"t have done it
[03:27:00] You ain"t asked for none of this sh*t
[03:28:00] Now you"re being punished
[03:29:00] Things that should"ve been private with me and your mother is public
[03:32:00] I can"t stomach they can take this fame back I don"t want it
[03:35:00] I"ll put out this last album then I"m done with it
[03:37:00] One hundred percent finished
[03:39:00] Fed up with it I"m hanging it up f**k it
[03:41:00] Excuse the cursing baby but just know
[03:43:00] That I"m a good person though they portray me as cold
[03:46:00] And if things should worsen don"t take this letter I wrote as a goodbye note
[03:50:00] "Cause your dad"s at the end of his rope
[03:52:00] I"m sliding down a slippery slope
[03:53:00] Anyways sweetie I better go I"m getting sleepy
[03:56:00] Love dad
[03:57:00] Sh*t I don"t know
