[00:00.77] Bricks - Wale
[00:02.14]
[00:11.88] Turn a brick to a stone but you think we don't have a soul
[00:15.75]
[00:17.76] As a kid need to grow the powder's weight in gold
[00:20.57]
[00:24.53] Getting blowed
[00:25.25] Thinkin I'm so glad that I can't rap 'cause I can't move no dough
[00:28.13] But I do know a few niggas that did and a few niggas that still
[00:32.02] And a few niggas that's through or a few niggas that's dead
[00:35.55] So f**kin 9 to 5 they clockin and tryna to survive
[00:37.74] Cop a brick and supply 'cause nobody offerin jobs
[00:40.58] Bricks build buildings build houses build neighborhoods
[00:43.82] Better ripped than turned into a baller or a Davis shirt
[00:46.96] Understated to say it hurts I was optimistic
[00:49.49] Tryna see my gang and whippin plain English that I was flippin
[00:52.73] This college went out of his dollar pension
[00:55.34] 'Cause after 4 or 5 you don't got to have a college ticket
[00:58.38] Bounce
[00:59.10] But them niggas tryna hold my head and work this out
[01:05.07]
[01:07.12] Countin numbers up in my head tryna build this house
[01:10.80]
[01:12.63] Mama told me if I made my bed then I gotta lay down
[01:17.35]
[01:18.52] But I never seem to keep these words all up out my mouth
[01:22.11] Bricks bricks – it's all them niggas talkin bout
[01:24.76] Bricks bricks – it's all them niggas talkin bout
[01:27.98] Bricks bricks – it's all them niggas thinkin bout
[01:30.76] Many niggas on the scene ain't gotta dream it now
[01:33.51] Tulio getting blowed
[01:34.89] Thinkin I'm so glad that I can't rap 'cause I can't move no dough
[01:38.02] But I do know a few niggas that did and a few niggas that still
[01:42.11] And a few niggas that's through or a few niggas that's dead
[01:45.40] Look little niggas will shoot you they got nothing to say
[01:48.09] 'Cause local celebrities only bout a brick away
[01:50.51] If you still whip em he getting those from whippin yay
[01:53.88] And you got no paper you been so patient come get some weight
[01:57.09] Just think about it come see your products
[01:59.71] And you weekend shoppin show people no people problem
[02:02.35] I can see the problem you nigga don't have no conscience
[02:05.46] Can't shoot can't blow but can rap
[02:07.09] Young nigga don't have no option
[02:08.76] Turn a brick to a stone tryna feed for my homie
[02:10.80] From the powder to the power and the power turn to gold
[02:13.73] Turning head with yo whip
[02:15.10] Is it worth what you did
[02:16.75] A brick is a brick and a brick you can build
[02:19.51] Turn a brick to a stone tryna feed for my homie
[02:22.51] Trenches on the full turn reefer to a homie
[02:25.29] Turn the powder into power and the power to the homies

[03:32.19] If you know what that mean you noticed it now
[03:34.04] And if you don't learn how to divide nigga

[04:33.41] The powder and the crack and the crack to the suns
[04:36.32] Dollars in the bag and the glocks in the front
