Build Lyrics by Johnny Mac

2017

[Verse 1]
Okay
Promises don't mean a lot when you talk a lot
Put your head down, work until you find a route
Only trust the people who supported in the darkest spots
And then you work some more just to show them you on to one
Show me some profits, I wish I wasn't so emotional
Writin' ballets with my head, still thinkin' 'bout my own shit
I went through why I'm in LA and workin' all alone
Chasin' something that ain't guaranteed, I take the dice and roll
If I played it safe I think I'd lose my mind all the time
Tryna get me to come up to the function and she on the line
But

[Chorus]
Broken hearts; you build it, or you break
Shit gets real when you feelin' the pain
Broken hearts; you build it, or you break
Hope to God you see the real from the fake
But, all I know is build, gotta build
But, all I know is build, gotta build
Tryna not to feel, gotta build
All I know is build, I gotta build

[Verse 2]
Yeah
My team got my back, just lock in no line
My moves ain't random, they
Manager in New York, doin' work, I'm on the coast line
Young and workin', makin' changes in the studio, I'm
Jack, the newest American dream
Young and proper, I'ma threat to every scrub in the scene
Been the one they always chat, now I'm chargin' the fee
One day I'll come home and settle down, I know this the dream
I know this the dream
So I'm buildin' as I'm learnin', bein' young and hopeful too
Can break you heart (can break you heart)
So just be careful now

[Chorus]
Broken hearts; you build it, or you break
Shit gets real when you feelin' the pain
Broken hearts; you build it, or you break
Hope to God you see the real from the fake
But, all I know is build, gotta build
But, all I know is build, gotta build
Tryna not to feel, gotta build
All I know is build, I gotta build
