Build Lyrics

[Chorus]:

Yeah I'm from the city where they buck and they juke in the parking lot

Yeah we tip-toe 'round the block but the neighbors still call the cops

Yeah good intention misconstrued, I ain't tryna get locked up

Gotta give back to what give you life

I'm just tryna build my block up



[Verse 1]:

Venus like Otherlands

Corner like a fly trap

Yeah Midtown motherland

Mental marathons

I run mind laps



The city sing to me

Train whistle harmony with it

(train whistle blows)



Momma found the matches underneath my bed

and she like "where the weed boy, where the cigarettes at?"

Nuh uh uh uh

Momma you don't understand

The block lit a fire underneath your little man



Yeah see I done grown up on boom bap

Kwik Chek, bim bop

Zaywop taught me

Tennessee could pop



Hood rock

First stone

Skip both, stay home, lay low

Say I'm closet like Draco



I borrowed shadows

That's alone

The neighborhood drew me a rainbow

I borrowed shadows

That's a loan

The neighborhood drew me a rainbow



[Chorus]
