            Song Lyrics 
            
 
 
 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 1st, 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 
Sorry for sloppy writing 
The pen in my hand's 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, 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 1st, 1996) 
To do whatever (dear hailie) 
This is your song. 
You got your momma's personality, same eyes as I got 
Her beautiful smile, but you ears are the same size as mine are 
Sorry for that, a little minor mishap 
But you'll grow into 'em baby 
I'm on the grind now 
I'm doing little shows, open mics, all-nighters and 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'm gonna turn into someone 
I haven't the slightest clue what I'm gonna 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 it's you 
Open this envelope when you're older and it holds true. 
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 24th, 2007) 
To do whatever (dear hailie) 
This is your song. 
Now if you found these letters, I guess I better try to explain 
A lot's happened in between 'em, 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 damn 
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, take this letter I wrote as a goodbye note 
Because your dad's at the end of his rope 
I'm sliding down a slippery slope 
Anyway sweetie, I better go, I'm getting sleepy 
Love, dad 
Shit, I don't know.
