Song Lyrics

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 takin' 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 changin' 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
Right here
