[Intro:]
|
Turn a brick to a stone but you think we don't have a soul
|
As a kid need to grow, the powder's weight in gold
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
Getting blowed
|
Thinkin I'm so glad that I can't rap 'cause I can't move no dough
|
But I do know a few niggas that did and a few niggas that still
|
And a few niggas that's through or a few niggas that's dead
|
|
[Verse 1:]
|
So fuckin 9 to 5, they clockin and tryna to survive
|
Cop a brick and supply 'cause nobody offerin jobs
|
Bricks build, buildings build, houses build neighborhoods
|
Better ripped than turned into a baller or a Davis shirt
|
Understated to say it hurts, I was optimistic
|
Tryna see my gang and whippin plain English that I was flippin
|
This college went out of his dollar pension
|
'Cause after 4 or 5 you don't got to have a college ticket
|
Bounce
|
|
[Hook:]
|
But them niggas tryna hold my head and work this out
|
Countin numbers up in my head tryna build this house
|
Mama told me if I made my bed then I gotta lay down
|
But I never seem to keep these words all up out my mouth
|
|
Bricks bricks ? it's all them niggas talkin bout
|
Bricks bricks ? it's all them niggas talkin bout
|
Bricks bricks ? it's all them niggas thinkin bout
|
Many niggas on the scene, ain't gotta dream it now
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
Tulio getting blowed
|
Thinkin I'm so glad that I can't rap 'cause I can't move no dough
|
But I do know a few niggas that did and a few niggas that still
|
And a few niggas that's through or a few niggas that's dead
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
Look, little niggas will shoot you, they got nothing to say
|
'Cause local celebrities only bout a brick away
|
If you still whip em he getting those from whippin yay
|
And you got no paper, you been so patient, come get some weight
|
Just think about it, come see your products
|
And you weekend shoppin, show people no people problem
|
I can see the problem, you nigga don't have no conscience
|
Can't shoot, can't blow but can rap
|
Young nigga don't have no option
|
|
Turn a brick to a stone tryna feed for my homie
|
From the powder to the power and the power turn to gold
|
Turning head with yo whip
|
Is it worth what you did?
|
A brick is a brick and a brick you can build
|
Turn a brick to a stone tryna feed for my homie
|
Trenches on the full, turn reefer to a homie
|
Turn the powder into power and the power to the homies
|
A brick with a brick to a brick you can throw
|
Build bricks
|
Bricks
|
Bricks
|
Bricks
|
|
[Verse 3:]
|
Many years old, feds lookin for my moms
|
10 to 11 held my first gun
|
First time I held bricks I was getting construction
|
Tell me you puff a medical, gave him my introduction now
|
16, get them bricks for the 16
|
Course I'm rappin bitch but now wrappin bricks for 16
|
I was 17 ridin and then is all good
|
18 and 19 payin nothing over 20
|
And 1008 divided by 4 is 2-52
|
If you know what that mean you noticed it now
|
And if you don't learn how to divide nigga
|
I'm talkin bricks, no jump shots
|
I call it work, no punch clocks
|
|
[Hook:]
|
But them niggas tryna hold my head and work this out
|
Countin numbers up in my head tryna build this house
|
Mama told me if I made my bed then I gotta lay down
|
But I never seem to keep these words all up out my mouth
|
|
[x2:]
|
Bricks bricks ? it's all them niggas talkin bout
|
Bricks bricks ? it's all them niggas talkin bout
|
Bricks bricks ? it's all them niggas thinkin bout
|
Many niggas on the scene, ain't gotta dream it now
|
|
Million to a stone, the stone to the sour
|
The show in the hood and you know that you could
|
The powder and the crack and the crack to the suns
|
Dollars in the bag and the glocks in the front...
|
