[Chorus: Trey Songz]

Everything I ever said

Everything that I have done

Tryna show 'em it's my time

Building mansions in my mind

Now that's all so yesterday

I'm just lighting up my fire

Tell the world I'm saying goodbye

You ask me why

(Yeah, ha) Wh—y—y—y?

I'm building castles in the sky

I'm building castles in the sky


[Verse 1: B.o.B]

I used to ride around town in a whatcha call it

Looking like a demo rapper, feeling like a dusty wallet

Getting fired, then hired, then re-fired

The Idiot's Guide to how to build an empire

I show you how to stunt, show you how to pop

Got a watch for my wrist and a watch for my Pops

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

'Cause 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!


[Chorus: Trey Songz]

Everything I ever said

Everything that I have done

Tryna show 'em it's my time

Building mansions in my mind

Now that's all so yesterday

I'm just lighting up my fire

Tell the world I'm saying goodbye ... goodbye..

Why...

I'm building castles in the sky

Haa, haa, haa

Haa, haa, haa

Haa, haa, haa, haa

I'm building castles in the sky


[Verse 2: B.o.B]

I use to fantasize about the baddest girl I couldn't get with

Couldn't get her number, couldn't even get a digit

Then I saw the light, now my nights are quite explicit

I be lost inside the ganja, would’ve sworn I went missing

Got bills paid

Got the whole hood saying, "Damn, Bobby Ray done came a mighty long way"

No GPS, OnStar or navigation

We some self made niggas, shout out to my operation

It started in my mind then it started taking shape

I still cannot believe that these events are taking place

I'm in my castle and I'm never coming down

It's no wonder why my head is in the clouds

Ha!


[Chorus: Trey Songz]

Everything I ever said

Everything that I have done

Tryna show 'em it's my time

Building mansions in my mind

Now that's 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

Haa, haa, haa

Haa, haa, haa

Haa, haa, haa, haa

I'm building castles in the sky


[Bridge: B.o.B]

Building castles the size of colosseums

Thirty thousand feet up, I swear you gotta see 'em

Cruising altitude with a foolish attitude

Headed for the moon, maybe Mars, maybe Venus

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


[Chorus: Trey Songz]

Everything I ever said

Everything that I have done

Tryna show 'em it's my time

Building mansions in my mind

Now that's all so yesterday

I'm just lighting up my fire

Tell the world I'm saying goodbye... goodbye

Why...

I'm building castles in the sky

Haa, haa, haa..

Haa, haa, haa..

Haa, haa, haa, haa..

I'm building castles in the sky


[Bridge: B.o.B]

Building castles the size of colosseums

Thirty thousand feet up, I swear you gotta see 'em

Cruising altitude with a foolish attitude

Headed for the moon, maybe Mars, maybe Venus
