EAGLEBABEL - Build You a Name lyrics

[Intro] Larry... [Theme] Man, waste nothin on haters when they come for your belt Don't let em make you feel sh**ty for bein yourself You tryna body the game, they tryna take your health You tryna build you a name, they tryna take your shelf I said waste nothin on haters when they come for your belt Don't let em make you feel sh**ty for bein yourself You tryna body the game, they tryna take your health You tryna build you a name, they tryna take your shelf [Post-Theme 1] So n***a build! Like yo dad It ain't hard Just gotta do it So just do it, and get it poppin when them checks come [Verse] Cause you ain't never starved And you ain't never seen your mama workin two jobs Might've had to dodge a few bullets But n***a that's Chicago, ain't nothin odd about it And ain't nothin odd about you It's only how you feel about yourself But n***a you can beat with some family and health Don't let nobody try to tell you anything else You in Chi-town anywhere you go Goin all the way to Cali if you comin from New York And beyond, so f** muhf**as Cause they'll probably take you up the rope And hang you when the pay day approach And you know, cause your daddy had you workin with the brick And breakin down walls ain't sh** But breakin down walls on the '9, gotta have common sense Why you think they call the sh** House? Cause in the Winter we can stick it out And you know that, cause you get that A Chi-town n***a, you could build that And when the sh** finish, gotta give back Tell the whole damn world they should feel that Like, yeah! [Interlude] ...Chicago And a couple months ago, your daddy said you had landed down in the city And that you was gon' come by and come see the church, come see what you did But I ain't mad You out there in school In California! Skinny jeans and sh** I mean, I ain't knockin it People be wearin skinny jeans out here too It just don't be my old a** But yeah, man, we was out there listenin to House Back in the 70s and 80s Same thing as it is now, y'all just put a different spin on it Same music, same concept Yeah, mang And don't forget to thank yo dad He the reason why you here, yo mama too Yeah, make sure you show that love [Theme] [Post-Theme 2] So n***a build Like yo dad It ain't hard …Chicago [Outro] And stop it with the tryna make your mama feel guilty That she raised you in a bungalow and not Section 8 You could be the realest if you tell it like it is Cause a real n***a stackin his money like a storey And the fabric in the storey ain't a muhf**in fake!
