Building It Up and Tearing It Down
I'm a soldier
On the street
I'm a cop
Out on the beat
Soul surviving
Everyday
Feels like all work
And no play
They got my number
They got my game
They rip me open
And keep me lame
I moving forward
I'm turning back
I'm very close
But then I crack
I'm building it up and I'm tearing it down
Woo hoo Woo hoo
I'm building it up and I'm tearing it down
Woo hoo Woo hoo
We got the service
We got the pipe
We pick the fruit
Just when it's ripe
We got the features
We got the scoop
We're inside game
Right in the loop
I'm feeling good
Bout twice a week
It comes and goes
With double speak
I got my lights on
I'm in the know
Let get the revs up
I'm ready to blow
I'm building it up and I'm tearing it down
Woo hoo Woo hoo
I'm building it up and I'm tearing it down
Woo hoo Woo hoo
You know the mind's
A funny thing
It will be your friend
Then plant the sting
Blame education
Blame mom and dad
For the lucky breaks
You never had
You might be wasted
In a dead end fling
You might be in a mansion
Singing for the king
Yesterday's jester
Bells on your head
But being alive
Is better than dead
You're building it up and you're tearing it down
Woo hoo Woo hoo
You're building it up and you're tearing it down
Woo hoo Woo hoo
You're building it up and you're tearing it down
Woo hoo Woo hoo
You're building it up and you're tearing it down
Woo hoo Woo hoo
On the street
I'm a cop
Out on the beat
Soul surviving
Everyday
Feels like all work
And no play
They got my number
They got my game
They rip me open
And keep me lame
I moving forward
I'm turning back
I'm very close
But then I crack
I'm building it up and I'm tearing it down
Woo hoo Woo hoo
I'm building it up and I'm tearing it down
Woo hoo Woo hoo
We got the service
We got the pipe
We pick the fruit
Just when it's ripe
We got the features
We got the scoop
We're inside game
Right in the loop
I'm feeling good
Bout twice a week
It comes and goes
With double speak
I got my lights on
I'm in the know
Let get the revs up
I'm ready to blow
I'm building it up and I'm tearing it down
Woo hoo Woo hoo
I'm building it up and I'm tearing it down
Woo hoo Woo hoo
You know the mind's
A funny thing
It will be your friend
Then plant the sting
Blame education
Blame mom and dad
For the lucky breaks
You never had
You might be wasted
In a dead end fling
You might be in a mansion
Singing for the king
Yesterday's jester
Bells on your head
But being alive
Is better than dead
You're building it up and you're tearing it down
Woo hoo Woo hoo
You're building it up and you're tearing it down
Woo hoo Woo hoo
You're building it up and you're tearing it down
Woo hoo Woo hoo
You're building it up and you're tearing it down
Woo hoo Woo hoo
