Build Lyrics

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

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 harmony)

Mama found the matches underneath my bed
And she like, "Where the weed boy, where the cigarettes at?"
Nuh-uh-uh-uh
Mama 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

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
