Build You Up - Kamaiyah

You have had someone that comes and breaks you down

Never had someone to come and make you smile

You just need someone to come and show you love

You just need someone to come and build you up

Build you up, build you up

Build you up, build you up

Build you up, build you up

Build you up, build you up

Had someone to come around and break you down

Never had someone to come around and show you love

Had someone around to come and take away

Never had someone around to come and build you up

And this is killing you

Nothing’s real to you

No one’s feeling you

To come and handle you

You don’t need no one, you’ve got to love yourself

'Cause when you get

Won’t need nobody else

Say «I gotta love me»

Say «I gotta trust me»

Say «I gotta give myself some pride»

Say «I gotta hug me»

You have had someone that comes and breaks you down

Never had someone to come and make you smile

You just need someone to come and show you love

You just need someone to come and build you up

Build you up, build you up

Build you up, build you up

Build you up, build you up

Build you up, build you up

Give me the microphone and check it

Should be no one neglected

Should be no disrespectin' if someone is in your presence

Don’t accept it

A queen is a queen of all things

Respected by all means, uplifted by all kings, na' mean?

If he don’t show you love then he’s less than

Never stress it, tell that brother get to steppin'

The message is if he’s real enough to build you up

Then he should really love, and try to build you up, sho' 'nough

Love yourself, hug yourself

And never put nobody else above yourself

If you a queen, off top, you should know that there

Speak life into yourself, you should show that there

Hold yourself to a standard, we know that’s real

Show respect, well-mannered, and own that care

Bein' a queen really means you gotta show yourself love

You gotta be strong enough to build yourself up

You have had someone that comes and breaks you down

Never had someone to come and make you smile

You just need someone to come and show you love

You just need someone to come and build you up

Build you up, build you up

Build you up, build you up

Build you up, build you up

Build you up, build you up
