From a brick to a stone, does a feign have a (Oh, Oh) As a kid need a goal, the powder's made of (Oh, Oh, Oh)
Getting Thinkin' I'm so that I can rap cause I can't move no dope But I do know, a few niggas that did and a few niggas that And a few that's through, are the few niggas that's dead

But them niggas tryna hold my head and work out (tryna work this out) Countin' numbers up in my head tryna build this (tryna build this house) told me if I made my bed then I gotta lay down But I seem to keep these words all up out my mouth
