[Verse 1: Canon & Eris Ford]
Now you don't have to build a house
The one that everybody thrilled about
You put your pride right beside you
Puttin’ everything behind you just to find out what they really 'bout
Oh that's your circle, who they been around
’Cause they gon' want a bigger house (Bigger house)
You worked your fingers to the bone just to get on what they on
Somethin' crooked even when they smile
'Cause they no angels
I see blood on their halos
Y'all go ahead
And somethin' 'bout the dice how they roll, oh
I see the chain, watch you break it (Watch you break it)
I see that pain, see that gain, y'all gon’ make it (Y’all gon' make it)
But I climbed your humpty stairs, they gon’ try to tell you
Your heart ain't nothin' but a window, they gon' try to break it
New slab with them new chains, get they hands up
This castle ain’t built, ain't built for your friends, they not welcome (Yeah)
That street talk, that chitter-chatter, that Jezebel, I can't help 'em
Dissassocation come on different levels, what the devil (Ooh)
[Chorus: Mogli the Iceburg]
Now I gotta go my own way
Knowin' that there ain't no turn back now
Tired of spending all my life waiting for my time when it's all I have
Now I gotta bind it all
Now I gotta build my own house now
If you ain't gonna let me
I'm gonna take my seat in my own home
[Verse 2: Eris Ford]
Oh, every single second of your life
People saw you as their shelter
Thought you're hard, yeah (Yeah)
Don't let anybody try to break you down
Don't let anybody try to steal your crown
You were made the way that you were supposed to be
So don't let anybody try to make you leave
You were made to be different (So don't you be in the distance)
'Cause you were made to pave the way
Not to conform to what they say
[Bridge: Canon & Eris Ford, Canon & Eris Ford]
We gon' make it
No, ain't too late now
You your own man now (Man now)
You can get away now (Yeah)
As the bands rolled down (Down)
That your man rolled down (Down)
Fell apart now, all his men gone down (Down)
Everybody scattered, couple fans gone now (Now)
Had the day one runners, plus your friends gone now (Yuh)
Weigh y'all down (Yeah)
Don't let this weigh y'all down (Yeah)
Can't let it break us down
Can't let it tear us down
I know a couple wrecked deep down
Tear, sweatin', even bled deep down
Where they do that at, let me know, oh
Yeah
[Chorus: Mogli the Iceburg]
Now it's time to go my own away
Knowin' that there ain't no turn back now
Tired of spending all my life waiting for my time when it's all I have
Now I gotta bind it all
Now I gotta build my own house now
If you ain't gonna let me
I'ma take my seat in my own home
[Outro: Canon]
Put the fear of God in there
Put the fear of God in there
You gotta put the fear of God in there
You gotta put the fear of God in there
Run 'em down now
Don't be scared to run 'em down
Don't be scared to run 'em down
Don't be scared to run 'em down, yeah
