Brick by Brick

Intro - scratches over horns

Yeah... brick by brick

Verse 1

No investor, no cosign, no lightning

Just a folder full of Tuesdays and a habit of writing

Every track a brick and the wall don't hurry

Ten years from now they'll call it overnight, don't worry

I've watched the fast ones fold like a lawn chair

Built on a trend that the wind took from 'em, gone air

Mine got mortar, mine got a level

Mine got a man who shows up when it's dull

Hook - Roots reggae style

(Brick by brick, the house a-rise)

Lay it down slow, down slow, down slow now

(Brick by brick, no compromise)

Watch the wall grow, wall grow, wall grow tall

(Brick by brick, the work is the reward)

Feel the hand know, hand know, hand know deep

(Brick by brick, keep your own scorecard)

Watch the promise keep, promise keep, promise keep

Verse 2

Somebody's counting streams, I'm counting sessions

Somebody's chasing the trend, I'm chasing the lesson

Trend gon' die on a Thursday in a feed

Lesson gon' feed me and whoever comes after me

Put your name on the work, put the work on the shelf

Come back in a decade and be proud of yourself

That's the only strategy I trust anymore

Brick, brick, brick, brick, floor

Hook - Roots reggae style

(Brick by brick, the house a-rise)

Lay it down slow, down slow, down slow now

(Brick by brick, no compromise)

Watch the wall grow, wall grow, wall grow tall

Outro

Brick by brick... yeah
