Everything I ever said,
Everything that I have done,
Tryna show 'em it's my time,
Building mansions in my mind,
Now thats all so yesterday,
I'm just lighting up my fire,
Tell the world I'm saying goodbye,
You ask me why...
I'm building castles in the sky
I'm building castles in the sky.

I use to ride around town in a watchu call it,
Looking like a dimmer rapper,
Feeling like a dusty wallet.
Getting fired, then hired, then refired,
The idiots guide to how to build an empire.
I show you how to stunt show you how to pop,
Gotta watch from my wrist and a watch for my paps,
Ballin' from the baseline, bottom to the top,
Got bullets on speed-dial yeah I call shots,
Now you can't act like you never heard of me,
Cos I'm so third degree, everyday I'm burning leaves.
I'm in my castle and I'm never coming down,
They always said I had my head in the clouds, HA!

Everything I ever said,
Everything that I have done,
Tryna show 'em it's my time,
Building mansions in my mind,
Now thats all so yesterday,
I'm just lighting up my fire,
Tell the world I'm saying goodbye,
Why...
I'm building castles in the sky
I'm building castles in the sky.

I use to fantasise about the badess girl I couldn't get with,
Couldn't get her number couldn't even get her digit,
Then I saw the light now my nights are explicit,
I'll be lost inside the ganja with a ? message.
Got bills paid, got the whole hood saying damn Bobby Ray
Came a mighty long way
No GPS on starring revelation.
I'm a self made nigger, shout out to my operation.
It started in my mind then it started ?
I still can't believe these events are taking place,
I'm in my castle and I'm never coming down,
It's no wonder my heads in the clouds, HA!

Everything I ever said,
Everything that I have done,
Tryna show 'em it's my time,
Building mansions in my mind,
Now thats all so yesterday,
I'm just lighting up my fire,
Tell the world I'm saying goodbye,
Why...
I'm building castles in the sky
I'm building castles in the sky.

Building castles the size of collesiums,
Thirty thousand feet up, I swear you gotta see 'em.
Cruising altitude with a foolish attitude,
Headed for the moon maybe Mars, maybe Venus.
