[Verse 1]
I came up where the floorboards speak
Boots on the stair, no sleep all week
Cold hand on the gate, got scars in the palm
Mama kept praying while the whole house calmed

I learned young, trust costs blood
Fake smiles drown in that backroom mud
You talk big when the room go dark
Then you fold up fast when the jaws come hard

I don’t chase clout, I chase heat
Steel in my chest, and I stay complete
One take, one shot, make the weak step back
I was built from the crack in the concrete black

[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that roll, that warning sound
Whole block shake when I come around
Say my name, then bite your tongue
This where the old lies get undone

[Chorus]
Brick to bone, I don’t break
Brick to bone, I don’t shake
Say it loud, let it ring
I was made for the hard thing

Brick to bone, I don’t fold
Brick to bone, too cold
Say my name, let it bang
I was built for the hard game

[Verse 2]
No handouts, I took my own
Had to eat stone, had to guard my home
Night after night with the same red stare
Whole world quick, but I move with care

They love that noise till the truth show up
Then the grin get thin and the tough act stops
I seen kings turn to dust in a blink
Seen pride sink fast in the gutter sink

I keep mine close, keep my word intact
If I said it once, then I won’t take it back
Every bruise got a story to tell
Every lost soul know that road too well

[Bridge]
[Breakdown]
Not for the weak
Not for the clean
Hands still dirty
Mind still mean

[Chorus]
Brick to bone, I don’t break
Brick to bone, I don’t shake
Say it loud, let it ring
I was made for the hard thing

Brick to bone, I don’t fold
Brick to bone, too cold
Say my name, let it bang
I was built for the hard game
