Chorus:
G#
Building a house so we can fall at the first brick
                                          C#
If the cement don't stick, but I've been told
        D#                 G#
That it only gets harder from there.

G#
I said now that I'm young I just do what I do
I don't second guess too much
Shake my ties and I'm not that wise
I'm not a grown up as such
C#
All of the talk about a ring and a baby
Gets me every time
       D#
Am I big enough, strong enough
To walk along your life

Chorus

You see, I'm always on the hustle
That I don't know just how good I get it
That it's plenty of men out there with money and
muscle
Look at these hips, baby, don't you forget them
Oh, but the curls will go, the money will spend
What we left within the end?
She's more than happy, she's taken her play
I'm saying, 'who's that bitch with my second name?

Chorus:
Oh, he's building a house so we can fall at the
first brick
If the cement don't stick
But I've been told
That it only gets harder from there!

            C#
Yeah baby, truth be told
                             G#
I'm only trying to keep our heads above the water
C#
Responsibility eternal monogamy
D#                                       G#
I'm not a father child, are you a mother are you
Oh my pride and joy
     C#  D#                     G#
Yeah you, you are my pride and joy

Chorus:
Oh, building a house so we can fall at
the first brick
If the cement don't stick
But I've been told
That it only gets harder from there!
Yeah, baby
Building a house so we can fall at the first brick
If the cement don't stick
But I've been told
That it only gets harder from there!
But I've been told
That it only gets harder from there!
But I've been told
That it only gets harder from there!
Yeah, ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Yeah
