Build While They Mock

Yeah

They laugh on the screen while I'm built in the dark

Turnin' small sparks into furnaces, flame in my heart

Every cheap shot they pull just puts iron in my spine

I'm countin' bricks, stackin' dreams, throwin' blood in the gold lines

They want me distracted, want me to fold in your brain

But crushin' makes diamonds and pain, can't refine the brain

I'm in the back room cookin' up a field, shit they can't see

While they chase likes and attention, I'm plantin' the dynasty

Deep buildin', buildin', buildin' through the noise they blow

Empire in my hands, let the whole damn world know

Look at my face, block me, talk that trash all day

I'm still movin' on, yeah

They gonna watch me get away

Yeah

Still postin' stupid shit, still actin' like they won

Still ridin' on the rumor while I'm out here gettin' won

This is in my chest, smoke in my lungs, fire in my stare

I took the long road, made a throne out of nowhere

You can kick it, fake your fingers, keep your shallow little crowd

I'm the one who stays hungry when the room gets loud

Sorrow in the mirror, but my vision stays clear

I built from the wreckage, I was made for the fear

So go ahead and hate, I don't need your permission

Every scar on my back is part of the mission

I was born in the pressure, I was raised by the grind

Now the empire's rising and I'm taking back my time

I keep building, building, building through the noise they throw

Get right in my hands, let the whole damn world know

Takin' my key, block me, talk that trash all day

Still movin' up, yeah

They gon' watch me build, boy

So keep the bullshit rollin'

I keep leveling higher

Feeling the flame

While I'm coming to fire
