Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I came in quiet with a full black bag
New kicks clean, but my mind was dragged
Seen too much to be that glad
Still I stand where the line got flagged
Cold sink water on my face in the dawn
Dead phone ringing, but I kept it on
Mom said, "Move like you got that on"
So I grip that thread and I stay withdrawn
They want smoke, I want proof
I want cash in the jar and a roof
I want peace with a little bit of truth
And a plate on the stove when I slide through
I been broke, I been boxed in tight
Still made gold out of an empty night
Brick by brick, I built this right
If you hear me now, then you hear the fight
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold up
Watch me now
No fear in my chest
No way out
Hold up
One more round
I been down, I been down
Now I’m back in the sound
[Chorus]
Brick by brick
I built this thing
Brick by brick
Hear the whole block sing
Brick by brick
I took my time
Brick by brick
Now it all feels mine
[Verse 2]
Paid my dues with a bent-up grin
Split that pain and I fed my kin
Old friends gone, but the grind stayed in
Left hand scars and a right hand win
I don’t flex on what I don’t own
I don’t beg for a seat or throne
I moved slow, but I moved like stone
Now my name hit hard in the marrow and bone
Every loss made a sharper line
Every doubt made a harder shine
Every no turned into a sign
That the best of me was still on time
So I cut that fear with a steady pen
Wrote my name where the lost boys went
If the floor shakes, I’m still not bent
I was made from a smaller rent
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold up
Watch me now
No fear in my chest
No way out
Hold up
One more round
I been down, I been down
Now I’m back in the sound
[Chorus]
Brick by brick
I built this thing
Brick by brick
Hear the whole block sing
Brick by brick
I took my time
Brick by brick
Now it all feels mine
[Bridge]
They said move fast
I said slow burn
Every bruise taught me
How to return
Hands still dirty
Heart still loud
I came through low
Now I stand proud
[Chorus]
Brick by brick
I built this thing
Brick by brick
Hear the whole block sing
Brick by brick
I took my time
Brick by brick
Now it all feels mine
