Oscar feat Street Lotto
J. Moore Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know it's natural that
We get caught up in the day to day
You know responsibilities come first but
Sometimes we just need to
Unwind
Relax
Recollect
Then get back to it
Brick by brick I build
Zip by zip I burn
Brick by brick I build
Zip by zip I burn
Integrity and devotion
I'm all about respect
If you can't visualize your direction
Don't close your eyes to rest
Brick by brick I build
Zip by zip I burn
Brick by brick I build
Zip by zip I burn
Comma comma on commas
I'm all about a check
Smoking chronic
To keep me calmer
Drowning out the stress.
All my life I've been working
Towards a check
Can't let them interfere
With the profit I overstep
I play my cards with no regrets
Figured if I'm right
Then I'll come back and mold the rest
I just want to see us all prevail
Broaden horizons
To look at life on larger scales
They say I'm going off the rails
Just know I got good intentions
But I was taught to fail
As a result I had to make up
For them years
Don't care for a major
I rather hang up my career
Don't follow rules they like to
Place you in the rear
Bitch I still saw notes
When I was playing it by ear
Just felt the urge to let you know
I'm here for the movie
This ain't no fucken episode
This won't be a story left untold
Came up from the dirt
But you couldn't find a better rose
Let's go
Brick by brick I build
Zip by zip I burn
Brick by brick I build
Zip by zip I burn
Integrity and devotion
I'm all about respect
If you can't visualize your direction
Don't close your eyes to rest
Brick by brick I build
Zip by zip I burn
Brick by brick I build
Zip by zip I burn
Comma comma on commas
I'm all about a check
Smoking chronic




To keep me calmer
Drowning out the stress.
