Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey, la-la, la-la
[Verse 2]
Yeah building a house
So we can fall at the first brick
If the cement don't stick
But I've been told
That it only get harder from there
[Verse 3]
I said now that I'm young, I just do what I do
I don't second guess too much
Shred my ties and I'm not that wise
I'm not all grown up as such
But all of the talk about the ring and the baby
Gets me every time
Am I big enough, strong enough, to walk along your line?
Yeah, baby
[Verse 4]
Building a house
So we can fall at the first brick
If the cement don't stick
But I've been told
That it only get harder from there
[Verse 5]
Ooh, you say I'm always on the hustle
That I don't know just how good I get it
And that there's plenty of men out there with money and muscle
Look at these hips, baby, don't you forget them
Oh, but the curls all go, the money will spend
What we left within the end?
Oh, she's more than happy and she's taking her claim
I'm saying, "Who's that bitch with my second name?"
[Verse 6]
Oh, cause building a house
So we can fall at the first brick
If the cement don't stick
But I've been told
That it only get harder from there
[Verse 7]
Yeah, baby, truth be told
I'm only trying to keep my head above the water
Responsibility, turn on monogamy
I'm not a father, child
Are you a mother, are you?
Oh, my pride and joy
Yeah, you, you are my pride and joy
[Verse 8]
Hey, building a house
So we can fall at the first brick
If the cement don't stick
But I've been told
That it only get harder from there
Yeah, baby
[Verse 9]
Building a house
So we can fall at the first brick
If the cement don't stick
But I've been told
That it only get harder from there
[Verse 10]
Said I've been told
That it only get harder from there
Yeah, I been told
That it only get harder from there
Yeah
