[Verse 1]
I came up on cracked steps
New socks, old reps
Mom said move smart
I said watch this next
Back pocket lint money
Front porch, split sunny
Lunch tray, two apples
Big dreams, small tummy
I learned how to read rooms
How to keep cool
How to fold pain up
And still keep rules
They want a clean story
I keep it rough cut
Mud on the shoe line
Still I show up
[Pre-Chorus]
Head down, eyes sharp
I don't fold fast
Every scar got a name
Every line got back
Turn the page, I was there
When the lights went low
One more breath in my chest
Then I let it go
[Chorus]
Brick talk, brick talk
I build while they talk
Brick talk, brick talk
Still here, still walk
Stack it up, stack it up
Watch the doubt fall back
Brick talk, brick talk
Tell 'em I don't slack
(Brick talk) (brick talk)
I build while they talk
(Brick talk) (brick talk)
Still here, still walk
[Verse 2]
Same block, same faces
New watch, new races
Some boys chase status
I chase steps and paces
No handouts, no favors
Just grit in layers
I been broke and stubborn
That combo made me dangerous
Now the phone stay busy
But my soul stay steady
I don't need too much
Just a plate and a levy
For the days I lost grip
For the nights I froze
I turned every rough spot
Into notes and rows
[Pre-Chorus]
Head down, eyes sharp
I don't fold fast
Every scar got a name
Every line got back
Turn the page, I was there
When the lights went low
One more breath in my chest
Then I let it go
[Chorus]
Brick talk, brick talk
I build while they talk
Brick talk, brick talk
Still here, still walk
Stack it up, stack it up
Watch the doubt fall back
Brick talk, brick talk
Tell 'em I don't slack
(Brick talk) (brick talk)
I build while they talk
(Brick talk) (brick talk)
Still here, still walk
[Bridge]
I seen the cold side
I seen the long nights
Still kept my name right
Still kept my heart tight
If I fall, I rise clean
If I slip, I learn
Every burn left a badge
Every loss got earned
[Chorus]
Brick talk, brick talk
I build while they talk
Brick talk, brick talk
Still here, still walk
Stack it up, stack it up
Watch the doubt fall back
Brick talk, brick talk
Tell 'em I don't slack
(Brick talk) (brick talk)
I build while they talk
(Brick talk) (brick talk)
Still here, still walk
