We Built This

Boy quit

It's gonna be okay, it's gonna be alright

We raised their children

Then, raised their buildings

And they made billions

I'm catchin' feelings

Really?

What else did we build?

Railroads, Wall Street

The White House and University

UVA? (We built that)

Chapel Hill? (We built that)

Pyramids?

No, sorry, our Hebrew brothers get credit for that

Mazel, let's turn up and get it poppin'

Settle down we still ain't got nothin'

We built this

We built this

I'm done y'all

I'ma keep it one hunnid

Tomorrow, when I hit the field, I'ma keep runnin'

We did everything that the overseer wanted

And if we got paid, then we'd be stuntin'

Sugarcane, cotton hands

My blood and sweat came from this land!

My life would've been different if I didn't have cinnamon pigment

We built this!
