(Ayy, yoh)
Life is a journey, my brother
Before you build the house, you gotta build the heart
Listen now
Early morning sun rising on the Copperbelt
I put my dreams on the table, it’s the cards I’ve dealt
They say a house stands firm when the foundation is deep
But a broken heart is a promise that you cannot keep
So I’m working on the inside, fixing every crack
If I build my spirit right, I know there’s no looking back
Oh, build your heart, build your house of stone
You’re never walking in the wilderness alone
With every brick of faith, the tower starts to rise
See the glory reflecting in your weary eyes
Build your heart, let the foundation grow
‘Cause the best of your hustle is the love you sow
Some people rushing for the roof before the walls are set
But I’m taking my time, I’m clearing every debt
My hustle is a prayer, written in the daily grind
Leaving all the doubt and the heavy weight behind
Eish, the road is long but the destination’s bright
Keeping my focus on the morning after night
Oh, build your heart, build your house of stone
You’re never walking in the wilderness alone
With every brick of faith, the tower starts to rise
See the glory reflecting in your weary eyes
Build your heart, let the foundation grow
‘Cause the best of your hustle is the love you sow
It’s the soul that carries the weight of the gold
It’s the strength of the spirit that never gets old
Build it strong, build it true, give it all to the light
Everything you’re doing is gonna be alright
So don’t you ever fear the storm or the heavy rain
There’s a purpose in the process, there’s a lesson in the pain
Keep the log drum beating, keep your head held high
We are building up a legacy that will never die
Oh, build your heart, build your house of stone
You’re never walking in the wilderness alone
With every brick of faith, the tower starts to rise
See the glory reflecting in your weary eyes
Build your heart, let the foundation grow
‘Cause the best of your hustle is the love you sow
Yeah, build it up, keep the fire inside
No stopping now, we’re on a rising tide
Build your heart, build your life, yeah
(Ayy, yoh)
Natotela, we rise.
