Lyrics
[Intro]
Built this shit brick by brick
No shortcut, no borrowed name
[Verse 1]
Dust on my sleeves, blueprints on the floor
One small room, then I built one more
Every closed door got a frame in the wall
Every time I stumbled, I learned how to crawl
Kept my word when the room went cold
Turned a thin little plan into something gold
They saw the cracks, I saw the shape
Put my hands in the work, made a way from the weight
[Pre-Chorus]
Count every cut, count every scar
Look at the distance, look where we are
[Chorus]
I built this shit brick by brick
Mile by mile, never quit
Piece by piece, made it stick
Now they wanna know how I got like this
I built this shit brick by brick
No big break, just grit on grit
Hands still rough, but the foundation’s thick
I built this shit brick by brick
[Verse 2]
Lunch in a paper bag, nights on a folding chair
Still showed up early like nobody else was there
Had a few good friends and a stubborn little spark
Enough to keep moving when I couldn’t see the mark
No silver spoon, just a borrowed set of tools
Learned the hard way, broke a couple rules
Now the same folks asking for a place inside
I remember every name that laughed when I tried
[Pre-Chorus]
Count every cut, count every scar
Look at the distance, look where we are
[Chorus]
I built this shit brick by brick
Mile by mile, never quit
Piece by piece, made it stick
Now they wanna know how I got like this
I built this shit brick by brick
No big break, just grit on grit
Hands still rough, but the foundation’s thick
I built this shit brick by brick
[Bridge]
If it falls, I raise it
If it breaks, replace it
If they doubt, let them wait
I got mortar in my veins
[Final Chorus]
I built this shit brick by brick
Mile by mile, never quit
Piece by piece, made it stick
Now they wanna know how I got like this
I built this shit brick by brick
No big break, just grit on grit
Hands still rough, but the foundation’s thick
I built this shit brick by brick
[Outro]
Brick by brick
Still building
Still here

Style
gritty modern hip-hop, mid-tempo head-nod groove, punchy dry drums, thick sub bass, sparse minor-key piano and low brass accents, confident raspy male rap with tight rhythmic phrasing, hook expands with layered doubles and crowd-style backing chants, verses stay stripped and percussive, polished vocal-forward mix with controlled distortion and a hard final stop
