Build - Justine Skye, Arin Ray

If I could build a nigga

Like, really build a nigga

He’d probably look a little bit better than you

And be a couple inches bigger

If I could build a man

Like, really build a man

He’d be smart enough to read my mind

When I’m hard to understand

I could wish you would change

But that won’t shake the pain

That’s living in my heart

All these boys be the same

They act they shoe size, not they age

Glad you showed me who you are

If I could build a nigga

Like, really build a nigga

He’d probably make a little more than me

Maybe six or seven figures

But since I can’t build a man

I’ma work on who I am

Spending all my time on me

Instead of living in make believe

Oh, I wish you would change

But that won’t shake the pain

That’s living in my heart

All these boys be the same

They act they shoe size, not they age

Glad you showed me who you are

Oh, they say that you are what you eat

Know it’s taking me long but just teach me

Tryna learn like a dog on a leash, yeah

I don’t practice at all what I preach (what I preach)

It’s a thin line between love and hate

But don’t you waste your time looking for a new replacement

I know they lurking on the side, waiting just to date you

I ain’t gon' let no nigga slide, I’ma pick the pace up

I know I pissed you off

And I’ve been the cause of trouble

I’d fight a thousand wars just to hear your voice

But I know it’s hard to trust

And I know it’s hard for us

To be what it once was

To be what it once was

Thank you for wasting my time

Thank you for changing my life

Thank you for proving me right

Thank you for saving my life

Thank you for making new souls

Thank you for being that dude

Thank you for leaving those clothes

Thank you for saving my life

If I could build a nigga

Like, really build a nigga

If I could I would, I could I would

I could I would, I could I should

If you could build me, if you could build me

You’d see the real me

Maybe we’d still be

Still be, yeah

If you could build me, if you could build me

You’d see the real me

Maybe we’d still be

Still be right here
