Build It Up Lyrics

[Verse 1: Kaboose]
I speak life in panoramic, reach through the damage
And manage to bleed upon the canvas when life is bananas
Use this mic as a hammer when I'm nailing it down
Speak what I believe through the frequency of sound
And never hold back cause I know that my life has been blessed
I'll never go back to that throwback, I'm free from that mess
Cause I been in it for a moment and I'm trying to improve
Little by little I dribble the riddle to make my move
Keep it true to who I am and where I'm from
I'm not a rock star but I'm big to some
I got enough heart and will to spark a revolution
New to the game and this is how I'm moving
With a positive stance just like a b-boy
Ready to bust and crush the decoys
A scholar to the game just like Bruce Leroy
So I'm in it to win it until it's time to deploy

[Chorus]
It goes step by step
Piece by piece
Brick by brick
Until it's complete
You got to build it up (just build it up)
You got to build it up (just build it up)
It goes step by step
Piece by piece
Brick by brick
Until it's complete
You got to build it up (just build it up)
You got to build it up (just build it up)
[Verse 2: MaxOne, Kaboose]
Rabid animals actively get at me when I travel
Ample appetite for titles isn't vital I dismantle
Manhandle heavy-handed adults skedaddle
We ain't having it amped up and adamant
Kabs cracking heads like a ball pin hammer
Shane'll make it bang until your pancreas shatters
Never reppin' the repetitive sedatives not present
Evidence in audiences all across the continent
Systematically set through, sound by soul searching
Messages scattered throughout life with an urgent
Need to observe this form of worship
For the passion and purpose of living it out
Not living in doubt but driven when I'm given
That extra ounce of adrenaline rush
To crush insecurity reaching for eternity
I'm rocking what I like and express verbally


[Chorus: Kaboose]
It goes step by step
Piece by piece
Brick by brick
Until it's complete
You got to build it up (just build it up)
You got to build it up (just build it up)
It goes step by step
Piece by piece
Brick by brick
Until it's complete
You got to build it up (just build it up)
You got to build it up (just build it up)
[Verse 3: MaxOne]
I don't just dabble in Scrabble, no bro I battle with Diablos
Silly felony vandals sit down you need to alto
Me and Kab in the saddle, you'll get rattled and trampled
I got a bomb flow and I'm also ahead I never follow so
Hello and mahalo, my thank you's are never hollow
I'm a mellow young father, proper fellow and scholar
Do not sell for the dollars, never relish and wallow
I know the salary is low calorie always developing
Count on me to wreck a pounding beat with out a doubt
I'm bringing elbows to the collar, got a fist you can swallow
I never said I was better, considered a trend setter
One and only, there's not a category for me homey
Entertaining and informing, innovative and a warning
Created global warming, go out in a blaze of glory
Live and in sessions with the finest of intentions
Kab, Max and Shane your new antidepressants

[Chorus: Kaboose]
It goes step by step
Piece by piece
Brick by brick
Until it's complete
You got to build it up (just build it up)
You got to build it up (just build it up)
It goes step by step
Piece by piece
Brick by brick
Until it's complete
You got to build it up (just build it up)
You got to build it up (just build it up)
[Outro]
Just build it up
Just build it up
