Building My Body Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I’m buildin’ my body
I’m happy when I’m buildin’ my body
I’m tired of fightin’, let’s make friends
I’m tired of burnin’ both ends

[Verse 2]
That’s why I’m buildin’ my body
It hurts me (Ouch) but I’m buildin’ my body
And I know what that pain is worth
I know I feel the pain of birth

[Verse 3]
I’m pushin’ up and gettin’ down with my body
There’s no one else around with my body
One look says I’m a stone disgrace
Don’t kick no sand in my face

[Chorus]
Because I’m buildin’ my body strong
(I’m a-watching what I eat)
And I’m sortin’ out right from wrong
(Hey, not a lot of meat)
And I know that it won’t be long
Before I gotta quit smokin’, again

Because I’m buildin’ my body
I’m peaceful when I’m buildin’ my body
I’m sweatin’ out mistakes I’ve made
I’m gettin’ back the dues I’ve paid

[Verse 5]
I’m doin’ more and gettin’ sore with my body
But I’m gainin’ a rapport with my body
And it seems like the perfect time
They say I’m in my prime

[Chorus]
And so, I’m buildin’ my body strong
(I’m second at the table)
And I’m sortin’ out right from wrong
(I’m readin’ every label)
And I know that it won’t be long
Before I gotta quit smokin’

[Outro]
‘Cause I’m buildin’ my body
There’s someone else inside of my (Let me out) body
He’s waitin’ to be born again
