Concrete Proof

[Intro] Yeah Uh I built this [Verse 1] They said I’d fold quick I said watch me work Hands on the clock face Sweat on the shirt Late nights in the back room Cold food, long grind Every closed door Made my spine that much tighter I was down to my last Still I kept my line One eye on the prize One hand on mine Now they want a piece Of the name I made Funny how they cheer When the numbers change [Hook] I built this (Who built this?) I built this (I built this) Talk less now See the proof I came up Now what you gonna do? [Verse 2] I know the doubt well It was in the room Smirks at the table Cold in the tune I took the cuts deep Made them into gold Took the long road Never once let go Dirty work, clean wins That’s the whole plan From the fifth-floor stairwell To the main stage stand Now my mother hold tears When she hears my name Said, “Boy, you don’t quit” I just smiled, same [Hook] I built this (Who built this?) I built this (I built this) Talk less now See the proof I came up Now what you gonna do? [Bridge] Let the room go still Hear the truth in me No handouts, no luck Just anatomy Bone-deep hunger Steel in the chest Every scar I wore Turned into a crest If you know that pain Then you know this sound I was buried once Now I hold my ground [Outro] I built this I built this Yeah Concrete proof I built this
