We Build Video (MV)

How do we build?
How do we grow? Whoa
When will we stand?
When will we know?
We build, we build, we build it
We build, we build, we build it
We build, we build, we build it
We build, we build, we build it

I can't believe we made it
So much pressure on me, my back aching
Uh, no sunshine, it was raining
Keep on goin' even though it feels draining
Uh, a lotta things been changing
Got reviews, everybody in stages
My mind clears whenever I read pages
No need to be baptized, I know I'ma make it
Uh, and I'ma fight till the death of me
I don't believe in karma, I believe in energy
Racism? That's just jealousy
Take away the power and you take away supremacy
Colonized, lost spiritual identity
Chains on our mind, we don't know who we meant to be
Poppin' all these pills, baby, that ain't the remedy
Big farmer, you'll be sure, check the recipe
Jeffrey Dahmer, they shoulda did 'em like Kennedy
Tryna play God 'cause they see Him as the enemy
Devilish ways, these people committin' felonies
A race in history, a race in black legacy
A race in all effects, a race in every memory
We be lucky to live to see seventy

I don't know how you feel, but I hope you don't fold
'Cause we gotta stick together on the road, I wanna know

How do we build? (How do we build? Yeah)
How do we grow? Whoa (How do we grow?)
When will we stand? (When will we stand?)
When will we know? (Oh, yeah)
We build, we build, we build it (we build it, yeah)
We build, we build, we build it (we gonna stand and find, yeah, yeah)
We build, we build, we build it (oh, oh)
We build, we build, we build it (oh, oh, oh, oh)

Take my money, take my time, but you can't take my heart
'Cause I'm a warrior, flow over waves like Noah's Ark
I'm speakin' from a deeper place, don't care about the chart
This thing should never be about numbers, should be about the art
Wish we could go back to the days we didn't have a phone
When reality felt real, when it wasn't clone
When relationships were pure within the (barber goal?)
And you was focused on the people that you really know
When we was solid and my people had knowledge
But now we follow, block pages to gossip
Women sellin' their body for attention and profit
Young boys rockin' chains, but ain't got no deposits
Pastors askin' for paper while members struggle with losses
Schools teachin' (?) About sexual goals

I don't know how you feel, but I hope you don't fold
'Cause we gotta stick together on the road, I wanna know

How do we build? (How do we build? Yeah)
How do we grow? Whoa (How do we grow?)
When will we stand? (When will we stand?)
When will we know? (Oh, yeah)

(?)
I'm tryin', who's gone until it's
Known, known, known, known?
(?)
I'm tryin', who's gone until it's
Known, known, known, known?
My answers is big back in me
I'm tryin', who's gone until it's
Known, known, known, known?
Who's gone until it's
Known, known, known, known?
Who's gone until it's
Known, known, known, known?

How do we build?
How do we grow? Oh
When will we stand?
When will we know? (Oh, how the glory goes)
We build, we build, we build it (we build it, yeah)
We build, we build, we build it (we gonna stand and find, yeah, yeah)
We build, we build, we build it (oh, oh)
We build, we build, we build it (oh, oh, oh, oh)

You are the director, the creator
And the writer of your story
You literally can do whatever you want
And it's just for you to sit down and navigate where you wanna go
And you get better, so that's how I feel about life
