Bronze Nazareth - Building Lyrics

Kings from queens
It's deeper than Run and D
Singing and screening
But they want you to believe it
So they put you in this box
Now you unorthodox
When you try to find the meaning
Or try to find the reasons
Took you're old earth
Put her in the wind cause you couldn't realize your worth
Now you fight within a real eternal fire
You either throwing rocks at the cage or getting higher
Listen

Hey yo my bro lost his brother and mother and the two week span
While I'm still here doing all that I can
Used to holler at my young dog stan
Grab a ghan pack take half, The other half in my pants
Stealing cars used to drive by auntie Barb's
Your pardon me The van was for KFC
The key was a flathead screwdriver
I know that I'm live but what's liver if I stay a survivor
C pimp in my own mind
Selling drugs get scuddy
It's dirty work so my fingernails muddy
I tried to reach one and teach one
Before they play you and have you bumping like they impeached Trump

The most hated
Most copied
Cs a youth I couldn't figure
Csking god why me
The last one they help
The first they watch
It's f*cked up
When it happen from your own kind
You better start with a piece of mind
Then maintain with a piece of grind
Cus ain't nobody coming
You either build or destroy
Where we come from

I seen my father watching
Before I jumped off the stoop and started causing problems
Either the Lord was with me, or I'm in a prison rotten
I know war over drugs anything godly option
I was a son before I ever seen one
But some frauds will act hot like they ain't underneath one
Try and build in the streets cuz when you die you can't keep nothing
Listen here youngin
If you gon put in that work you better keep something
Cuz your best friends told you
Your ears not your wrist
Cops always got a snitch
Cause in the end niggas wan' be rich
But you can't build wealth with a brick

C day late and a dollar short
So I hustle who wanna love like James and Florida a constant struggle
So I bubbled cane and doubled verses
It could be worser as I sit back and twist the sherbet
I don't complain
My grandfather was a warrior
I'm grandfathered in til the clause is up
Tennessee to Florida
Cause ain't no wrong way to eat nothing
When you yo stomach rumble
