[Verse 1]
Wake up, same blocks
Same train, same stop
I lace my boots fast
Step out, watch raindrops
Old brick, new plans
In my left hand
Two bills, one pen
And a notebook band
They said I’d fold quick
I said, watch this
Built from scrap yards
And a small risk
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I hear that call
From the floorboards, low
Every scar I own
Says, keep that flow
I don’t chase the crowd
I let the crowd come close
One raw voice now
And the whole room knows
[Chorus]
Brick dust on my sleeves
Brick dust on my sleeves
I came up from the grind
Brick dust on my sleeves
Say my name right now
Say my name right now
I came up from the grind
Say my name right now
[Verse 2]
Corner store receipt
Folded in my jeans
Hard days taught me
How to read between
Fake smiles, cold nods
Cheap talk, quick fades
I kept my head up
Through the long gray days
Now the same ones watch
When I take my turn
Like a match in the dark
You can feel it burn
I don’t need much
Just a beat and time
One clean line
And a room that’s mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I hear that call
From the floorboards, low
Every scar I own
Says, keep that flow
I don’t chase the crowd
I let the crowd come close
One raw voice now
And the whole room knows
[Chorus]
Brick dust on my sleeves
Brick dust on my sleeves
I came up from the grind
Brick dust on my sleeves
Say my name right now
Say my name right now
I came up from the grind
Say my name right now
[Bridge]
If the night gets long
I don’t lose my way
I been cut, I been bruised
Still I show up gray
With my chin held high
And my pulse in tune
Turn my pain to gold
When I step in the room
[Chorus]
Brick dust on my sleeves
Brick dust on my sleeves
I came up from the grind
Brick dust on my sleeves
Say my name right now
Say my name right now
I came up from the grind
Say my name right now
