Yeah, yeah, yeah
We don't want another white rapper
They don't say it but they think it
They don't listen to my music
Try not to listen to my demons
Said I wouldn't burn bridges
Still I never crossed over
You could bet I got the torch with me now
And I'm looking for some closure
Never got signed, never got looks
Never got agents, never got booked
No hand out, but I never got shook
Smoked a little weed, but I never got hooked
Don't nobody give me shit
Don't nobody tell me shit, though
Everyone think they got a voice, nah
Don't nobody sound like this though
Young pack, you done fucked up
Left home, grew the fuck up
Thought that I knew what's what
Didn't realize that I still gotta come up
Money don't spend like it used to
No new friends, they'll use you
Everybody wanna be in the studio
Making hits with me
When I look around
I'd better know who's who
I am not for the games
Don't be playin' with my name
Don't be claimin' you an artist
We don't see you dropping anything
Every girl a public figure now
Followers, you wanna dick 'em down
They accommodate that shit too,
Ooh they really makin' daddy proud
Ain't no flash in the pan,
Ain't no temporary shit,
Nothing happened over night,
Built it Brick by Brick
My fans really fuck, with me
My girl fell in love, with me
Ain't no flash in the pan,
Ain't no temporary shit,
Nothing happened over night,
Built it Brick by Brick
My fans really fuck, with me
My girl fell in love, with me
My boys really down, for me
Now they really gon' be up
I've seen people come and go
This game, unforgiving
I've been selfish with it
People want it, they don't fucking get it
I'm the godfather round here
Who the fuck y'all kidding?
L.O.L to any rapper talking 'bout resume in the city
Y'all gotta pivot
You should do stand-up
Y'all would kill it
You could really use a new beginning
Buy the ticket but you never win it
Every year you really get the feeling
Every year I hit the goal and never hit the ceiling
When I retire I'm 'bout to write a book and call it
Sticking to the mission get it how you live it
Take it from the kid whose
Living out the vision, yeah yeah
Put an office in a neighborhood
I grew up, tell me I ain't manifest that shit
Had to pinch myself, call that per-speck-tive
I work for my blessings
In the city I just might be a legend, yeah
Everybody want it now,
Everybody know the what
Never know the how
Never know the half
Always on deck, never go to bed
Can't waste time
No no, never that
No no, never that
Brick by brick let it stack
Ain't no flash in the pan,
Ain't no temporary shit,
Nothing happened over night,
Built it Brick by Brick
My fans really fuck, with me
My girl fell in love, with me
My boys really down, for me
Now they really gon' be up
Ain't no flash in the pan,
Ain't no temporary shit,
Nothing happened over night,
Built it Brick by Brick
My fans really fuck, with me
My girl fell in love, with me
My boys really down, for me
Now they really gon' be up
Now they really gon' be up
Now they really gon' be up
