From a brick to a stone, does a fiend have a soul?
Does a kid need a goal, if the powder's made of gold
Getting blowed
Thinkin' I'm so glad 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 still
And a few niggas that's through are the few niggas that's dead
So fuck a 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
But a brick done turned a n— into a baller or a Davis shirt
Understated to say it hurts, I was optimistic
Till I see my youngin' whippin', made me wish that I was flippin'
Fuck this college, when n— out it's just dollar pitchin'
'Cause after 4 or 5 you don't got nothing but college tickets
Bricks
Been a minute 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, it's all them niggas talkin' 'bout
Bricks, it's all them niggas talkin' 'bout
Bricks, it's all them niggas thinkin' bout
Lil' niggas on the scene, ain't gotta dream it now
Studio getting blowed
Thinkin' I'm so glad 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 still
And a few niggas that's through are the few niggas that's dead
Look, little niggas will shoot you, they got nothing to say
'Cause local celebrities only 'bout a brick away
N— used to whip 'em, he getting those from whippin' yay
And you got no paper, you been so patient, come get some weight
Sneaker boxes, you can see your progress
And you weekend shoppin', show people your people poppin'
I can see the problem, you nigga don't have no conscience
Can't shoot, can't dribble, can't rap
Young nigga don't got no option
From a brick, to a stone, turned a fiend, from a homie
When the powder, turn to power, and the power, turn to dough
Turning head, with yo whip, is it worth, what you did?
If a brick, is a brick, through a brick, you can build
From a brick to a stone, make a fiend for a homie
Turn a cheek on a foe, turn a reef to a home
Turn the powder, into power, and the power, turn to hoes
If a brick is a brick, through a brick you can grow
Build
Bricks, oh, oh, oh, oh
Bricks, oh, oh, oh, oh
Bricks, oh, oh, oh, oh
Bricks, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's only one way out
9 years old, feds lookin' for my moms
10 or 11, held my first gun
First time I heard bricks, I was thinkin' construction
Until my 'migo plug from Mexico gave me my introduction
Now 16, gettin' them bricks for the 16
Was unwrapping bricks but now I'm rappin' bricks for 16
I was 17 ridin' in that Lexus on 20's
18 and 19 payin' nothing over 20
And a thousand 8 grams divided by 4 is 252
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'm talking work, no punch clock!
I'm Yo Gotti!
Been a minute 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, it's all them niggas talkin' 'bout
Bricks, it's all them niggas talkin' 'bout
Bricks, it's all them niggas thinkin' bout
Lil' niggas on the scene, ain't gotta dream it now
Bricks, it's all them niggas talkin' 'bout
Bricks, it's all them niggas talkin' 'bout
Bricks, it's all them niggas thinkin' 'bout
Lil' niggas on the scene, ain't gotta dream it now
From a brick, to a stone, from the stone, to the shone
If it shone, in the hood, then you know, that you good
From the powder, to the crack, from the crack, to the slums
Dealers, in the back, to the clappers, in the front
