Blu、Statik Selektah、KOTA The Friend - Brick By Brick (feat. Blu) (Explicit) 完整歌词及解析

Yeah, Statik Selektah, uh (Statik Selektah)
Kota the Friend, uh
B-L-U
Know what it is, uh-huh, uh
[Verse 1: Blu]
Uh, some days I don't know how I made it outta this
Was fallin' so deep in the ground, I thought it was bottomless
The politics was keepin' me down, now I'm on top of it
Without a diploma, without a scholarship or sponsorship
I've traveled around the world and back, it ain't no stoppin' this
We can be knee-deep in apocalypse
And I'ma get my dollars and cents 'fore I step outta this *****
I wanted to be big like Chris Wallace is
To fill my soul when it feels emptier than my wallet is
So I made some moves for the loot and I wasn't proud of it
But now I get respect 'cause I keep it true to who John is
Which is Blu, Miles Davis, *****es Brew
When the industry said I'm through, I just reinvented the new
Spit the wisdom in the booth to give the knowledge to the youth
I was restricted from listenin' to hip-hop
But now my moms is proud of what I do
Never thought that I would blow, but I'm Blu
'Cause I blew the **** up by bustin' nothin' but the truth
It go brick by brick, brick by brick
Rain, snow, sleet, I'ma do my shit
Thank Jah for this life like He knew my wish
On a bad day, do not trip
We go brick by brick, homie, don't flip
Solid on foot, still solid in the whip
Brick by brick, watchin' my six
Solid on foot, still solid in the whip, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2: Kota the Friend]
No stoppin' it, it's a marathon
Quietly gettin' wins, I'm buildin' like I'm Popovich
Saw the world and I did it in my moccasins
Mama didn't understand, now it make a lot of sense
Low-key GOAT shit, summer on a boat shit
Somewhere in the mountains with the family on a road trip
Sun in my pores, it's a different kind of tour
I'm a Brooklyn dude takin' in some **** I never saw
But you can make the moves that you want when you the boss
I was winnin', steak dinners even when I took a loss
When your destiny is bigger than yourself, you a force
I am Luke, wasn't cozy in the sky, I had to walk
Even when this **** is dark, I was carryin' a torch
Through the dirt, through the mud, tough it out and stay the course
Even when I'm outta juice, I'ma always have the sauce
Had to chop it up with Blu, sittin' on the porch like
It go brick by brick, brick by brick
Rain, snow, sleet, I'ma do my shit
Thank Jah for this life like He knew my wish
On a bad day, do not trip
We go brick by brick, homie, don't flip
Solid on foot, still solid in the whip
Brick by brick, watchin' my six
Solid on foot, still solid in the whip, yeah
