Block by Block

Lyrics

Verse 1
I came in with a plan
Worn soles, steady hands
Paint chips on the frame
Still I built my name

Lost sleep, kept score
Knocked hard on that door
They said “wait your turn”
I said “watch me earn”

Pre-Chorus
Step by step
Brick by brick
One wrong move
I still won’t quit

Pressure up
Chest locked in
Hear that knock?
That’s me again

Chorus
Block by block, I rise
Block by block, I rise
Tell me I can’t
Watch me decide

Block by block, I rise
Block by block, I rise
(One more time)
I’m built for this life

Verse 2
Late train, torn jeans
Pocket full of clean dreams
Mama said “hold your head”
So I did what she said

Every scar got a story
Every loss got a glory
They want fast, I want real
I want something they can feel

Pre-Chorus
Step by step
Brick by brick
One wrong move
I still won’t quit

Pressure up
Chest locked in
Hear that knock?
That’s me again

Chorus
Block by block, I rise
Block by block, I rise
Tell me I can’t
Watch me decide

Block by block, I rise
Block by block, I rise
(One more time)
I’m built for this life

Bridge
Ain’t no shortcut here
Ain’t no luck, just fear
I turned both into fuel
Now I move like I’m due

Final Chorus
Block by block, I rise
Block by block, I rise
Tell me I can’t
Watch me decide

Block by block, I rise
Block by block, I rise
(One more time)
I’m built for this life
