If I could build a n***a Like really build a n***a 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 it 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 n***a Like really build a n***a 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 I wish it 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 Know they say that you are what you eat Know instead give me love but just teach me Tryna learn like a dog on a leash I don't practice at all but I preach what I preach It's a thin line between love and hate But don't you waste your time looking for a good replacement I know they lurking on the side waiting just to date you I ain't gon' let no n***a slide I'ma pick the pieces I know I piss you off And I've been the cause of trouble I'd fight a thousand wars Just to get your heart worse But I know it's hard to trust And I know it's hard for us To be what one's worth To be what one's worth 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 those moves Thank you for being that dude Thank you for leaving those clothes Thank you for saving my life If I could build a n***a Like really build a n***a If I could I would I could I would I could I would I could I should Said, If you could build me If you could build me You'd see the build me Maybe we'd still be, still be, yeah Said, If you could build me If you could build me You'd see the build me Maybe we'd still be, oh, right here Said, If you could build me If you could build me You'd see the build me Maybe we'd still be, still be, yeah
