[Verse 1]
Got mud on my boots, still clean with it
New day, same grind, I’m mean with it
Phone lights up, but I don’t need credit
Count it in my head, then I leave with it
Mama said, “Boy, keep your chin high”
I seen loss turn love to a thin line
Cold in the frame, but the wrist shine
I been built from the ground, not a quick rise
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t fold
I don’t bend
Too many nights
Back to ten
Say my name
Then say it again
I was broke, now I’m up with the trend
[Chorus]
Brick by brick
I built this life
Brick by brick
I paid the price
Brick by brick
I’m still that one
Brick by brick
Now look what I’ve done (brick by brick)
[Verse 2]
Same old block, different shoes on
New goals, same scars, I move on
Talk real slick, but it sound small
I was in the rain, now I’m too gone
No handouts, I learned that quick
Every little win had a scratch and a nick
Eyes on me when I step in the room
I don’t say much, let the silence hit
If they want war, let them bring that
I got a calm that can sting back
Whole team eat, no leaks in the plan
We been sharp since the first kickback
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t fold
I don’t bend
Too many nights
Back to ten
Say my name
Then say it again
I was broke, now I’m up with the trend
[Chorus]
Brick by brick
I built this life
Brick by brick
I paid the price
Brick by brick
I’m still that one
Brick by brick
Now look what I’ve done (brick by brick)
[Bridge]
They saw the dirt
Not the climb
I kept my word
Paid my time
If I go down
I go down mine
But I’m too far up
To rewind
[Chorus]
Brick by brick
I built this life
Brick by brick
I paid the price
Brick by brick
I’m still that one
Brick by brick
Now look what I’ve done (brick by brick)
