"Brick" is a percussion-heavy rock song written from the first person perspective of someone very dear to me. They would never say these things about themselves, but it's the strength I see in them (and if you can guess who the song is about ... then, you know I'm right!)
Lyrics:
V1 Underestimate my mind, I will smoke you every time I'm a Brick Don’t account for iron will, you’ll be left to pay the bill I'm a Brick Think my argument is weak That some safe place I will seek I will teach you one sure thing You are way out of your league … I'm a Brick
V2 Don’t let my swag clothes fool ya, disrespect me and I'll school ya I'm a Brick Think my quiet calm is passive, face a persona that’ massive I'm a Brick Think my goodwill you’ll manipulate This class you'll not matriculate All foolish talk expired 'Cause I was molded in the fire … I'm a Brick
Chorus Formed from clay and hardened By sun’s rays you’ll pardon My straight talk, no jargon Wind nor rain can’t beat down Purpose plan or passion From a kiln of fire was fashioned Come feel the weight, destined for great The Brick
Solo
Interlude
V3 This is not just cocky talk Know who I am and path I walk I'm a Brick Kind and gentle to the core But, provoke the lion’s roar I'm a Brick Prefer love and peace to strife Tools that heal not sharpened knife But, to break me takes a sword and shield That’s far too big for you to wield … I'm a Brick
