Brick by brick

Brick by by brick. Brick Now they know. I came up hard, learned quick. Too many fake smiles, same old trick. Backseat lit by the dash glow low. Mama said move, so I moved that snow. They want props, I want mine. Kept my head down, kept my line. Pocket full of pain, shoes full of dust. I don't talk much, I let moves build trust. Count that paper, watch that door. Hear them steps on the hallway floor. I've been quiet, I've been cold. Now that fire in me getting bold. Brick by brick, I made this. Brick by brick, I take this. Brick by brick. Don't play with me. Brick by brick. I stay with me. Brick by brick, I made this. Brick by brick, I, I take this. Hands up high when the hoods say go. Brick by brick. Now they know. Things get loud when the lights go out. Same ones shady, start circling now. I seen fair-weather love turn stone. Seen good men fold for a little more throne. I kept receipts in a shoebox stack. Every loss turned fuel in my back. If I say wait, then I mean not yet. If I say move, better not forget. Count that paper, watch that door. Hear them steps on the hallway floor. I've been quiet, I've been cold. Now that fire in me getting bold. Brick by brick, I, made this. Brick by brick, I, I take this. Brick by brick. Don't play with me. Brick by brick. I stay with me. Brick by brick, I, I made this. Brick by brick, I take this. Hands up high when the hoods say go. Brick by brick. Now they know. I seen the cracks, I filled 'em in. Stood in the rain, I grin and grin. They wanna crack. I give 'em none. I was built tough. Not, not built to run. Brick Brick by by brick. Brick, I I, I made made this. This. Brick Brick by by brick. Brick, I I, take I take this. This. Brick by brick. Don't play with me. Brick by brick. I stay with me. Brick by brick. I made this. Brick by brick. I take this. Hands up high when the hooks Take hold. Brick by brick. Now they know
