F.Stokes - Lets Build lyrics

rate me

Victims of the crack pipe

Mistrust will make a beautiful black woman a track dyke

So I keep a picture of my niece on my IPhone backlight

Tell her uncle Rodney love her but I had to escape

So she could be free

Young, gifted and black with a chip, though

Black man, black mask and a tip, though

OG say you ain’t done, sip more

But that brown liquor was killing my thought

Can’t no industry limit me

My momma told me my daddy was Billy D

Arrest my development like Tennessee, I pray for

My brother locked on waiting 3286 days form

What your life like, nigga?

My life like wine on liver

Now everybody on that key flipped up, back to that bullshit

I’m from the corner where niggas say church

And they don’t need no poor pit

Chocolate skin babies, high off life

Yeah, I work for the enemy that I’mma die on sight

But let’s build

It’s amazing the same thing we give life to, we kill

Handouts and that welfare office

Back home ain’t seen dad as a coffin

Lis is coughing, she been sick for weeks that feel like months, though

The whole summer went passed and she ain’t jumped rope

I carry all this pain inside this frame

Which could explain why I’m so bad with women

If a nigga beat you, took all your money and lie

Would you still lay in bed with him?

Well, let’s build, let’s build

Load up every AK47 we can find

Aim it at the pigs and kill

Let’s build like dope on a spoon

Crack cocaine stuffed inside a balloon

So what it is, my nigga?

Tell me how you really wanna live, my nigga

Locked or free, seem like real shit obsolete

So what it is, my nigga?

Tell me how you really wanna live, my nigga

Let’s build
