Eminem - Castle Lyrics
[Liz Rodrigues and Eminem:]
I built this castle
Now we are trapped on the throne
I'm sorry we’re alone
I wrote my chapter
I hope you’ll sing along
This is your song
I just want you to know that I ain't scared
Whatever it takes to raise you, I'm prepared
To do whatever, to do whatever
December 1st, 1995, dear Hailie
This is your song
[Eminem:]
You'll be coming out of Mommy's stomach soon
I can barely support me, but as long as you're healthy
That's all that matters for the time being
But obviously assuming you will be
Just thinking ahead, I’ma make it if it kills me
Let’s see how far I can take it with this music
I'm getting sick of chasing this illusion
Sorry for sloppy writing
The pen in my hand is shaking, please excuse me
Dad’s a little nervous, but at the same time excited
If I use this same energy while I'm saying rhymes and write them
With the same passion and the same exact enthusiasm
As I'm using in this letter, maybe they can feel me as I'm
Trying to build these castles out of sand, baby girl
For you to sit on the throne, I got plans, baby girl
Welcome to Mom and Dad’s crazy world
Love, Daddy, maple flavored kisses, buttered pancakes, and syrup
[Liz Rodrigues and Eminem:]
I built this castle
Now we are trapped on the throne
I'm sorry we're alone
I wrote my chapter
You'll turn the page when I'm gone
I hope you'll sing along
This is your song
I just want you to know that I ain't scared
Whatever it takes to raise you, I'm prepared
To do whatever, to do whatever
December 1st, 1996, dear Hailie
[Eminem:]
You got your momma's personality, same eyes as I got
Her beautiful smile, but your ears are the same size as mine are
Sorry for that, a little minor mishap
But you'll grow into them, baby, I'm on the grind now
I'm doing little shows, open mics, all-nighters at studios
While I'm tryna keep the lights on
Why does it seem like I'm so close to this dream, yet so far?
I just keep steering, I'ma turn into someone
I haven't the slightest clue what I'ma do if it falls through
You took your first steps today, you'll probably walk soon
My Infinite CD flopped, too many soft tunes
They're talking bad about Dad, it's ticking me off too
Makes me feel like I don't belong or something, ooh
I think I might have just stumbled onto something new
Got a prediction for the future, I'm hoping that you
Open this envelope when you're older and it holds true

[Eminem:]
Now if you found these letters, I guess I better try to explain
A lot's happened in between them since I rised to this fame
I've said your name but always tried to hide your face
This game is crazy, I wanted to claim my love for you, but dang
I never knew it'd be like this, if I did I wouldn't have done it
You ain't asked for none of this shit, now you're being punished?!
Things that should've been private with me and your mother is public
I can't stomach, they can take this fame back, I don't want it
I'll put out this last album then I'm done with it
One-hundred percent finished
Fed up with it, I'm hanging it up, fuck it
Excuse the cursing, baby, but just know
That I'm a good person, though they portray me as cold
And if things should worsen, don't take this letter I wrote
As a goodbye note, 'cause your dad's at the end of his rope
I'm sliding down a slippery slope
Anyways sweetie, I better go
I'm getting sleepy, love, Dad… shit, I don't know

Love, Dad, shit, I don't know
Its crazy what he could with a pen and paper
Amazing
He don’t write all his stuff ??
he did lmao wtf are u on
Strange Simpson when u look in the bio it says lyricists: and a bunch of random names so I thought but I don’t really know much about his music so idk
I love this song. The rest of the album not so much.
Some Songs on this album was great including this but some tracks man they where thrash
His voice sounds like this was recorded in 2010, I swear
One of my favorite songs on Revival. I loved this album, it's a masterpiece to me.
Castle and Arose are modern-day classics.
And you said revival sucked?
It did suck absolute fucking ass and is trash but this song and arose are the only good songs in the album
Sounds like the girl from “almost famous” by em. She has one of the best voices 👌🏽
it's crazy that eminem is still making great music just wating on the new album
True Eminem fans love Revival
Lmao revival is absolute fucking trash real fans don’t need to suck up and be forced to love bottom of the barrel trash from their fav artist and accept mediocrity stop with that bullshit. It did suck absolute fucking ass and is trash but this song and arose are the only good songs in the album
In the mid 2000s this would have been a hit just like when I’m gone...
my favorite in this album
arose too
🖕that's all she wrote being me.. and never returning that's permanent.. it's what happens when people don't respect what they have .. they leave
How can there be a single dislike
This album is amazing. Its so emotional, ppl wanted slim but they got marshall so they didnt appreciate this album as they shouldve what a losers
The album had some good intention and heart but ended up sucking absolute fucking ass. It’s fucking dreadful no Eminem fan should be forced to accept mediocrity. Castle and Arose are the only good songs tho
This sounds like hopsins Ill of the mind 9 man they need to collaborate
🗣UNDERATED 🗣ASFFFFFFFFF
I like this type of mixing
I have my...opinions on Revival but this song and Arose have become two of my favorite songs of his.
Yeahhhhhhh🇺🇸💥🎶

Anyone notice this track sounds alot like the final boss theme from Sonic 2?
Check the link below y'all..
You'll definitely here it.

Such a recovery song
bruh this is literally my favourite album
This man's Genius was too much for simpletons, this whole album slaps everything. This is real shit, pure poetry. Fucking haters man. 🔁E🤘🐐
One of the best songs Em has EVER released absolutely love it
Everyone about eminem need to bring his sales on revival up, he deserves to know he doesn't gotta conform to the industry
trash!!
XDDD talking 'bout yourself are you? XDD
This album was great don’t know why it got so much hate but I appreciate you all hating on this as it got us another album and the destruction of mgk
god help nick
This give me chills everytime❤
Fuck the haters who hate on this album
This song is real and 🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥
this song takes me back to the days
My favourite album. I think I have a condition of stan lol. Only Em can create a new word in the dictionary.
Revival is a porter house
This is why Eminem is the best in the game. He always spits the realest shit
"Either you're part of the problem or you're part of the solution or you're just part of the landscape."
The last few songs on this album are incredible
I love Revival
FUCK IT
This song is so incredible
Is this song a leftover from Recovery? He sounds a lot younger in this
No, in arose (castle and arose are connected) he references mmlp2 an album that didn’t come out till three years after recovery and he speaks on both recovery and mmlp2 as past tense, so both castle and arose were recorded for revival (those songs are actually the reason the album is called revival)
Anybody know the name of the song hes covering?
Dr. Spark ValleyGreens this is not a cover??
I think people who dislike this album dont have the experience to relate to this album cause honestly it is good and has a lot of powerful message it isnt like these rappers who put a nice beat out but the words arent meaningless and has no message to it.
This song is soo beautiful.. gets me every time! This song alone is better than whole rap scene today.
This seems like this was a scrapped King Mathers LP song, considering he said November 2007 and he is putting out this last album and hanging it up
Austin Clements he was referring to king mathers, yes
#Eminem #MarshalMathers #SlimShady
Eminem did this whole album for the fans most tracks were him opening up vulnerable side of Slim Shady & Eminem y’all straight dogged him
I think the reason people hate on this album is it’s mostly all sad/deep songs which fans are used to only one or two tracks like this on his usual albums, so a full album of only these types of songs without the Slim Shady, political songs and motivational songs which usually give the album variety and keep it interesting aren’t there.
This song is so underrated. He is spitting from the heart here
I wish I had Dad who wrote this I dont even think my Dad EVER wrote about me and this is Gabby on karols channel
The only good song on revival
lmao no
This and arose are the only good ones
@Nayef Nowsher lol u act like Believe, Bad Husband (minus the hook), WoW, River, IYH, Offended, Tragic Endings and Framed don't exist.
People say Believe is the best song in the album and I get where they're coming from, but I'd rate it the 2nd best (1st being Castle; Arose is 3rd)
Bad Husband is underrated and gets a lot of unnecessary hate because of the long hook
WoW is underserving of the hate it gets
River is fine
IYH is definitely top 7 on the album. 2nd verse is great. Rhyme scheme is great.
Offended is underrated.
Tragic Endings and Framed are fine too
I think she can do it! It's really cool how she has such a different style but it's also reminiscent of older styles so maybe combined with Em's vision she can revive the times when musicians opened up to each other and bring back that freedom it once had! Who knows? I have some music as well!
What the hell, it is posted by em's channel? And why there are only 300k views?
This is GREAT, I am in love with lyrics
Best joint on the album
Even though people Hated this album, they oversaw this song which is a huge mistake
I don't understand why do people hate this album? Its a great album, lol
Hell yeah Revival
Best song on the album??
Yall ever notice how many Eminem songs on Revival use a female popsinger for a hook?
Its great in my opinion. My favorite music genre is Rap/Hip Hop but I like pop too.
October 2019 - still here
This is my favourite song on the revival album
This song describes chasing fame and dealing with a lot of failure accurately
I really like Revival
I don’t know why people shitted on Revival with songs like Bad Husband, River, In Your Head, Offended, Heat, Remind Me, Nowhere Fast, Framed
I fuck with this album i dont understand haters
The album had heart and intention but the execution was disgustingly awful with generic pop rap songs and terrible and ugly sounding grunge rock beats. Castle and Arose are great tho
Marshall Bruce Mathers ||| 🎶
313k views????? Detroit!!!!
This whole album hits so hard. It's incredible how good you are telling stories by your music. Thanks for everything. From infinite to this and kamikaze. You have helped a lot of us. I adore you.
Sounds like recovery / relapse
More like Recovery than Relapse IMO
I've been on an Eminem binge for the past week after listening to Kamikaze, and I'm lost... *Why do people hate Revival so much?*
Mostly they hate Revival because of the producer Rick Rubin and the bashing on President Trump even though it’s only three songs that he slams on Trump
@Tyrus_Alon_Tallon Ohh... I haven't listened to the whole album, but the ones I listened to, I liked. Kamikaze is no different when it comes to bashing. He bashes mumble rappers on almost every track.
The album had heart and intention but the execution was disgustingly awful with generic pop rap songs and terrible and ugly sounding grunge rock beats. Castle and Arose are great tho
This song sounds like classic Em. Why can't he capture that in more songs?
Because he wants to evolve he can't be doing the same thing he did 20 years ago hes change and evolved after every album
I been listening since infinite I’m 33 now still a loyal fan
For those that don’t know. The last verse is in 2007 before he tried to kill himself. That’s why he falls down at the end
I cry for what happened to this whole awesome album
This was recorded during recovery
How do you know that?
Eminem=legend
Beats good, but Hallie songs has gotten boring
I built this castle
Now we are trapped on the throne
I'm sorry we're alone
I wrote my chapter
You'll turn the page when I'm gone
I hope you'll sing along
(This is your song) I just want you to know that I ain't scared
Whatever it takes to raise you, I'm prepared
To do whatever (December first, 1995), to do whatever
(Dear Hailie) this is your song
You'll be coming out of Mommy's stomach soon
I better do something quick if I'ma be able to support you
I can barely support me, but as long as you're healthy
That's all that matters for the time being
But obviously
Assuming you will be just thinking ahead
I'ma make it if it kills me
Let's see how far I can take it with this music
I'm getting sick of chasing this illusion (ha!)
Sorry for sloppy writing
The pen in my hand is shaking, please excuse me
Dad's a little nervous, but at the same time excited
If I use this same energy while I'm saying rhymes and write 'em
With the same passion and the same exact enthusiasm
As I'm using in this letter, maybe they can feel me as I'm
Trying to build these castles out of sand, baby girl
For you to sit on the throne, I got plans, baby girl
Welcome to Mom and Dad's crazy world
Love, Daddy, maple-flavored kisses, buttered pancakes, and syrup
I built this castle

I'm sorry we're alone

(Dear Hailie) this is your song
You got your momma's personality
Same eyes as I got
Her beautiful smile
But your ears are the same size as mine are
Sorry for that, a little minor mishap
But you'll grow into them, baby, I'm on the grind now
I'm doing little shows, open mics, all-nighters at studios
While I'm tryna keep the lights on
Why does it seem like I'm so close to this dream, yet so far?
I just keep steering, I'ma turn into someone
I haven't the slightest
Clue what I'ma do if it falls through
You took your first steps today, you'll probably walk soon
My Infinite CD flopped, too many soft tunes
They're talking bad about Dad, it's ticking me off too
Makes me feel like I don't belong or something, ooh
I think I might have just stumbled onto something new
Got a prediction for the future, I'm hoping that you
Open this envelope when you're older and it holds true

Now if you found these letters
I guess I better try to explain
A lot's happened in between them since I rised to this fame
I've said your name but always tried to hide your face
This game is crazy, I wanted to claim my love for you, but dang
I never knew it'd be like this, if I did I wouldn't have done it
You ain't asked for none of this shit, now you're being punished?
Things that should've been private with me and your mother is public
I can't stomach, they can take this fame back, I don't want it!
I'll put out this last album then I'm done with it
One-hundred percent finished
Fed up with it, I'm hanging it up, fuck it
Excuse the cursing, baby, but just know
That I'm a good person, though they portray me as cold
And if things should worsen, don't take this letter I wrote
As a goodbye note, 'cause your dad's at the end of his rope
I'm sliding down a slippery slope
Anyways sweetie, I better go
I'm getting sleepy
Love, Dad, shit, I don't know
Really? 283k??
Apparently this album went gold guys we need to hit my man up with that platinum album is actually good ppl just on that mumble bs
Eminem ,you have beautiful brain!
Sonic 2
The only bearable song on Revival
What about Arose? Bad Husband? River? Walk On Water? Offended? Nowhere Fast?
FanMadeEmineAlbums Offended And Arose were okay,Framed was also good. The rest is trash and I’m an Eminem fan
I Don’t Know
I honestly prefer this than Kamikaze even thought it kinda was an improvement I suppose

I can't believe how anyone can say they are a eminem fan, and not like this whole album...the one time he puts his heart into his music an everybody shits on it. If they would pay attention to the versus...
Castle: shit i don't know
Arose: now i know
🇧🇷
This one aas best.....song
Castles outta sand..... I'm sorry baby qirl..
Long live the GOAT!
I heard this song, and I fell in love instantly, and then I randomly listened to Arose, and when I heard the ending I literally started screaming, it is infuckingcredible
TOTALLY UNDERRATED ALBUM !!
I've only heard a few songs on this album but from what Ive heard I can see why this is his worst album. This album feels slightly depressing. I feel like he might have been going through a heartbreak or something when writing this album. It's different then most of his other songs. I still love this album but couldn't understand why people didn't like this album.
I dont understand man they say revival fell off but framed is pure slim castle is emotional and gives of old vibes river isnt even bad i thought his other songs are good
