Lyrics

Sample: soul loop singing]“Brick by brick… built by blood…” [with soft strings underneath

Intro – Spoken / Half-Rapped

Yeah...

They never saw the blueprints — just the cracks in the wall

Didn’t see what broke me — only what I built from it

But it’s all there…

Brick by blood

Verse 1

Ain’t no peace in this life, only war with the past

Tryna build somethin' real where nothin' ever lasts

Used to sleep to sirens, now I dream in code

Every breath I take’s another line I wrote

They say pain make you stronger, but it tore me down

Had to piece it back together, soul lost then found

Mama cried on the couch while I bled in the streets

Tryna turn broken glass into verses on beats

Ain’t no blueprint in the struggle, just instinct and rage

I wrote scriptures in the margin of a blood-stained page

Learned to fight with no gloves, love with no trust

Every wall I built came from ashes and dust

Chorus – Sample + Hook

[Sample:] “Brick by brick… built by blood…”

Brick by blood, that’s the cost I paid

Laid my soul in the cracks that the world betrayed

Still breathin’, still scarred, still misunderstood

But I ain’t break — I just built it like a fighter would

Verse 2

See the tears in the concrete, the truth in the tar

Every dream I chased left a permanent scar

They said the block don’t love you — but I still gave back

Fed the same ones who watched me fade to black

My name ain’t written in stone — it’s carved in pain

Not for fame, but for those who ain’t survive the game

I speak for the ones who got no voice left

Who spit blood in the booth just to cope with death

Still hear the sirens sing in the dead of night

Still walk like the wind carryin’ ghosts in flight

And if I fall, let the beat carry what’s true

Every verse I bled, I bled for you

Chorus – Full Power Hook

[Sample:] “Brick by brick… built by blood…”

Brick by blood — this foundation's mine

From the cellar to the sky, from the dirt to divine

This ain’t just bars — it’s a map of my skin

And I’d do it all again, just to stand in the wind

Verse 3 – Reflective / Legacy Verse

They gon’ tell stories, but they’ll leave parts out

Won’t mention the hunger, just the money route

Won’t show the nights I slept on guilt

Just the throne I built from what they tried to wilt

But I ain’t ask for sympathy — just space to grow

Took pain like a seed, made it rise from below

Now my words like bricks, stack 'em high for the youth

Let ‘em walk on my lines if it brings 'em truth

I was never meant to last, but I lastin' still

'Cause I wrote my soul into every thrill

And if they come for my name, let 'em come prepared

'Cause the legacy’s deep — and the bricks are there

Bridge – Spoken Word / Raw Truth

I didn’t build this for the charts

I built this for the brothers who ain’t get the chance

For the sisters who kept faith in the fire

For the dreams buried in shoes left hangin’ on the wire

You can paint the block clean… but the blood still speaks

Brick by blood — this ain’t yours to delete

Final Chorus – Double Chorus + Sample Fade

Sample: “Brick by brick… built by blood…”

Brick by blood — this the life I claim

Every cut, every loss, every cursed nickname

I ain’t rich in gold, but I’m rich in fight

And my name stay lit in the darkest night

Brick by blood — that’s how I stay

In the walls, in the beats, in the words I say

And when I’m gone, let the loop still thump

‘Cause I died on the beat just to live in this dump

Outro – Soft Fade with Sample & Whispered Ad-Libs

Still buildin’...

Still speakin’...

Still breathin’ through these bricks

Brick by blood…

Sample:][soul loop singing]“Brick by brick… built by blood…” [with soft strings underneath

"I built this life with broken hands,

Every stone was laid in pain…

Tears in the mortar, hope in the sand,

Still I rise through the rain...

Brick by brick… oh, built by blood…

No mercy came from up above…

Brick by brick… yeah, built by blood…

Gave it all for the ones I love..."
