Hey, la-la, la-la

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

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

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

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?"

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

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

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

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

Said I've been told

That it only get harder from there

Yeah, I been told

That it only get harder from there

Yeah
