[Intro]
Oh build, oh build
Oh, oh, oh build
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh build, oh build
Oh, oh, oh build
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Hook: Prohgress]
If you're sick of your 9-5
Your heater is busted
If your bank keeps calling
And your parents are [?]
Follow me
We gon' build up this movement
Your boots on your feet
Put your hands in your gloves
Put 'em up, let 'em see
We gon' build, we gon' build my brother
We gon' build, we gon' build my sister
We gon' build, we gon' build my brother
We gon' build
Put your hands in your gloves, let 'em see
[Verse 1: Kev Nish]
We be stalking on the bottom of the dryest well
Form a movement to the top, 'till we high as hell
To the future, f** the past, 'cause I built on that
Beat down the rules and regulations that was built on crap
Bring down the family after Reagan
Put jack before my paycheck
Empty hotel rooms, and my man can't get a blanket
Nah, I ain't anti, just raising up the ante
This nation's under fire and you sipping the chianti
There's racists out for hire, [?]
Three dollar bottel water, mother nature's trying to jack me
The opposite of build is what's really going on
You know there's really something wrong
When you can't see you're getting robbed
You got your fingers in my pockets like you reaching for my holes
Write me up another ticket, while you're writing up the laws
You victims pay attention 'cause there's writings on the wall
It says "In God we trust", don't trust the government at all
[Verse 2: Prohgress]
They trying to tear us down
I don't care you who*es tell us
I got a sledge camera that'll make Thor jalous
When I put the smash down I'm pissed like wrong tennets
Crashing through your vine, like a drop at the wrong palace
Get the f** up out the way, the night train is coming through
Or get your a** aboard, 'cause time waits for none of you
Bow down to MCs, 9 steps in front of you
Our boots leave cracks that like weights that're falling through
You don't want FM in the hands of your core fans
You'll lose your own shine, you'll raps out boreland
Buy us on the track, he blow spots like Tim Taylor
You'll get no facetime just a hat and "howdy neighbor"
Imma build an army of B-boys and DJs
MC and graphiters who spray what we say
It's the truth like P-square shooting over his man
When we rule we letting loose like some Red Sox fans
[Interlude]
Oh build, oh build
Oh, oh, oh build
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh build, oh build
Oh, oh, oh build
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 3: Bias]
You are now tunes into the sounds of FM and Bias
You're about to build right now
We got the lights out
We is on right now
We got a hot tech beat and it drives you crazy
'Cause now you're playing catchup like Kerry's lady
I'm synonymous with victories like Redsky's name
After this I'm 'bout to go an watch the SC game
At the bar with FM, "We need 4 more beers!"
Y'all can bang this cup for 4 more years
Go ahead, enjoy that high, smoke that kush
'Cause like hippy boy, we gonna see a lot more bush
You're always calling my crib where I used to stay
Girls never knew I'm a player, they used to say
"If he was rich then maybe I might feel him"
Now they throwing it at me like my [?]
And they out there listening, still all smiling
'Cause they know they really a freak like Bill O'Reilly
For the 9 to 5 workers, Imma free these cowards
'Cause we's about to build like the freedom tower
[Verse 4: J-Splif]
It's a cycle everyday, wake up early as the sun
Blue collar mind state, 'cause the job is never done
Lack of the funds make me envy the wealthy
Always plotting up schemes, my imagination healthy
Starting with labels and wooden building blocks
Out to grow my ideas on buildings on the block
Construction's gradual, not an overnight step
We constructing the manual for generation X
Foundation is strong, and the future looks bright
So look ahead, move along, and we blow when it's time
'Till the moment is right, we gon' keep on working
Students of the game, we gon' keep on learning
No mountain high enough, the desire to keep burning
Ain't no valley too low for some deep soul searching
We built an empire with no ending in mind
Strange solid as a rock, watch us climbing to our prime
[Hook: Prohgress]
If you're sick of your 9-5
Your heater is busted
If your bank keeps calling
And your parents are [?]
Follow me
We gon' build up this movement
Your boots on your feet
Put your hands in your gloves
Put 'em up, let 'em see
We gon' build, we gon' build my brother
We gon' build, we gon' build my sister
We gon' build, we gon' build my brother
We gon' build
Put your hands in your gloves, let 'em see
