The outro to "Scorpio, Vol. 2: Signs of the Times" by Quentino.

lyrics

[Hook - Christina Aguilera]
Everyone thinks that I have it all
But it's so empty living behind these castle walls
These castle walls
If I should tumble if I should fall
Would any one hear me screaming behind these castle walls
There's no one here at all, behind these castle walls

[Verse 1 - Quentino]
Even though I'm not famous I'm still here
Behind Castle Walls and I feel like I will fall
Within the dungeon because I can never just be seen
By other people who believe or have disbelief
Fuck the fame, I don't want it. Just give me at least one mil.
So that way I can fill up the empty stomach of those that are hungry
And that starve and give the money up to charity
So I can call my cousin Charity and be able to give a donation
To my nation we suffering
So many of us in jail; free my Uncle Tony
Him being in jail is bologna
Fuck a tsunami, I want to eat up some soup
Still so broke and yet the poor keep on growing
Who needs to be behind castle walls? Fame ain't shit to me!

[Hook - Christina Aguilera]
Everyone thinks that I have it all
But it's so empty living behind these castle walls
These castle walls
If I should tumble if I should fall
Would any one hear me screaming behind these castle walls
There's no one here at all, behind these castle walls

[Verse 2 - Black Smith]
The castle's gotten smaller, the circle got wider
The view from here still the same, so spacious and so vital
My life been laid out 'fore my eyes like sheets at a recital
But I lack the drive to compose the soul, feed my own revival
The shadow lurking over me, killin' every vibe, ho
Wonder what would happen if I tore a page out every Bible
And rammed the paper down the barrel of my 18th century rifle
Took that barrel to my chin, pulled the trigger like a sniper
Would I leave behind my troubles, or leave behind the rubble
Of a broken man who ran the race and ma-managed every stumble
Guess it begs the question: Does the world revolve around my struggle
Or would my death here be the needlepoint to other people's bubbles?
Truthfully I know the answer long before I posed the problem
The meaning in my life is in how my absence will have robbed 'em
Of a brother who can change this empty space into volumes
Of work and art and signs; pay attention 'fore you've lost him!

[Hook - Christina Aguilera]
Everyone thinks that I have it all
But it's so empty living behind these castle walls
These castle walls
If I should tumble if I should fall
Would any one hear me screaming behind these castle walls
There's no one here at all, behind these castle walls

[Bridge - Christina Aguilera]
Nobody knows I'm all alone
Living in this castle made of stone
They say that money is freedom, but I feel trapped inside it all
And while I sit so high up on a throne
I wonder how I can feel this low
On top of the world it's beautiful
But there's no place to fall...

[Outro - Christina Aguilera]
Everyone thinks that I have it all
But it's so empty living behind these castle walls
These castle walls
If I should tumble if I should fall
Would any one hear me screaming behind these castle walls
There's no one here at all, behind these castle walls.
