Wale/Yo Gotti/Lyfe Jennings ☆ Bricks

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
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
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
Fuck his dollar
This college went out
his dollar pension
Cause after 4 or 5
you don’t got to have
a college ticket
Bounce
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
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
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
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
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
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
Bricks to the stone
to 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
