[Intro] Yeah, pull the curtain, let the room breathe Ninety-three on the meter, watch the whole beat move [Verse 1] I kept a pencil in my pocket, plans folded in the seam Bus pass, borrowed headphones, whole city in the dream Corner-store philosophy, change rattling in my hand Learning how to turn a setback into something people understand My neighbor fixed old radios, taught me how to tune Said every broken signal still can carry something true So I wrote between the static, made a map from every scar Now the block knows every line before I reach the bar No shortcut in the story, every chapter paid its due I made a table out of doubt and pulled up every chair for you From the stoop to the stage, kept the same two shoes If the door stayed locked, I made a rhythm out of screws [Chorus] We build it from the ground, brick by brick, sound by sound Turn a small idea into a name that travels town to town Keep your head up when the whole world tries to count you out We build it from the ground, that's what we’re about [Verse 2] Now the notebook’s full of routes that I had never seen Every page got fingerprints and coffee rings between I remember every doubt, but I don’t let it drive Let it sit in the back row while the better plan arrives Cousin called from out of state, said the rent was getting steep I sent a verse and half a check, told him hold the line and breathe That’s the kind of wealth I mean, not a number on a screen It’s a hand inside the storm, it’s a promise kept clean I learned the loudest room can still be missing truth So I leave a little silence for the listener to choose Then I bring the hook around like a train on schedule Simple enough to sing, but every word got several levels If the past is in the rearview, let it teach you how to steer If tomorrow feels enormous, put one honest step right here No costume, no disguise, no borrowed point of view Just a pocket full of proof and a story made for you [Chorus] We build it from the ground, brick by brick, sound by sound Turn a small idea into a name that travels town to town Keep your head up when the whole world tries to count you out We build it from the ground, that's what we’re about [Bridge] One for the hands that kept the lights on Two for the friends who said, “Keep writing, you’re right on” Three for the nights when the answer wouldn’t show Four for the step that made the next one possible to know [Final Chorus] We build it from the ground, brick by brick, sound by sound Turn a small idea into a name that travels town to town Keep your head up when the whole world tries to count you out We build it from the ground, that's what we’re about [Outro] Brick by brick, sound by sound Small beginnings shake the ground Keep that promise, pass it round Build it up, don’t back down
