Build Me Up (feat. O.D.B.) Lyrics


Dear Ol' Dirty Bastard, no, no
Dear, Baby Jesus, no that's not it
Dear Dirt McGirt, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Look man, it's this girl that I really like, manAnd, I want to get her to notice me
So, I just wanted some advice on
What should I do to like, get her to come my way?
Write back soon, your biggest fan, RhymefestWhy do you build me up buttercup?
Baby, just to let me down, mess me around
And then worst of all, you never call, baby
When you say you will but I love you stillI need you more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
Build me up, buttercup, don't break my heartLook, c'mon, have you ever met a girl, come into your world
[Incomprehensible], put your brain on sterile
Activate and leave stains like curls
Sophisticate and make you feel so worldThere it is so liberated
Ridin' in a sports car so ventilated
Joggin' in a sports bra so titillated
Chick so cool but not refrigeratedLook, McGirt, I don't wanna trouble ya

But this chick on my block, I'm in love with her
I wanna get up in her Bush like Dubya
Tryin' to get up in her Bush like DubyaSo write me back, let me know
How I'm 'sposed to hit it when I got no dough
How I'm 'sposed to spit it when I got no flow
Shimmy shimmy yay, shimmy ya, shimmy yo, ohWhy do you build me up buttercup?
Baby, just to let me down, mess me around
And then worst of all, you never call, baby
When you say you will but I love you stillI need you more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
Build me up, buttercup, don't break my heartI just wanna talk to her
But I'm me and this girl is so popular
And it's a dirty game, me has binoculars
From a distance I just started watchin' herThen I met her at Hills on the Southside
Bought her chicken and fries, with coleslaw aside
She ain't say thanks enough that's all pride
I don't care about her man, I just let it slideI just think about fuckin' you everyday
And just sink in the back of my Chevrolet
All that chicken you ate and you never paid
Take my order, can I have a breast or leg?Would you fin' to say no, oh, how's that so?
After I came here and spent all my dough?
"Look boy, it's chicken, what is you broke?"
Then I got scared and said, it's a joke
Gave her a hug and stole her coatWhy do you build me up buttercup?
Baby, just to let me down, mess me around
And then worst of all, you never call, baby
When you say you will but I love you stillI need you more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
Build me up, buttercup, don't break my heartDear Dirty, thanks for the advice and everything, man
It didn't really work out with this chick this time
She wasn't that buttercup, she was just another slut, manBut you know what? I'm just gonna say forget about it, man
I'ma go get a movie, you haven't seen 'Harry Met Sally' yet?
It's kinda like what I'm goin' through, oh, whatever, c'monYeah, this is for everybody lookin' for that perfect girl, man
Sometimes you ain't got all the money in the world
And you ain't got all the looks in the world but
You can still find that buttercupDon't let her build you up and break you down, man
You build it up, whatever, yo, freak for me
Make sure she like to fuck though
That's always important, isn't it?Expect you're the one for me
Yo Dirt, pack your bags, let's go
Girl, the way you give brains to me
Yo Dirt, it's over, G

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Che Smith (born July 6, 1977 in Chicago, Illinois), better known by his stage name Rhymefest, is a Grammy Award winning American hip hop artist signed to Mark Ronson's Allido Records. In 2006 he released his debut album Blue Collar, and released his second album, titled El Che, in 2010. In 2005 he won a Grammy Award for the Best Rap Song, along with Kanye West, for his contribution in writing Jesus Walks.

He gained attention because his lyrics were both witty and honest, and addressed the daily struggles that the average working person goes through, and not the over-glorified life of a drug dealer or clubgoer. He returned to Scribble Jam in 2003, where he defeated Yo Momma's Pimp to capture the title. Rhymefest was born July 6, 1977 on the south side of Chicago in Jeffrey Manor. Although he dropped out of South Shore High School, he would go on to earn his GED and even enroll in college at Columbia College in Chicago to study radio broadcasting at night school. He also worked as a substitute teacher to inner-city preschoolers at the time. In addition to all this, he was also building a reputation as one of the better known freestyle battle rappers in the Midwest. After enrolling at Columbia however, he learned his girlfriend was pregnant. He married her and moved to Indianapolis because she had been attending Purdue University in nearby West Lafayette. His son, Solomon, was born in 1998 and Rhymefest was forced to work various low-paying jobs, including one as a janitor at a university, to support his family while his wife went to school. When his wife graduated and went on to get a job as a chemical engineer, Fest was then able to devote his time to his true passion, music.

While living in Indiana with his cat named Greshy, Rhymefest was introduced to Mark Ronson by then manager Ron "DJ Indiana Jones" Miner. Greshy was later the inspiration for the hit single "Brand New" because Greshy only likes stuff that is brand new, and you would occasionally see Greshy in a whip that is brand new. In February 2003, Rhymefest signed his record contract with producer and DJ Mark Ronson's Allido Records, a subsidiary of Sony BMG's J Records, managed by Clive Davis. This was despite an offer on the table from long-time friend and producer Kanye West to sign with his own record company, GOOD Music. Fest attributes this decision to having a better musical relationship with Ronson and also not wanting to be in an "employer-employee" relationship with West[citation needed], where difficulties in business could lead to a disruption of their musical relationship and even friendship. Fest had a great admiration for Ronson's ability to mesh music of different genres.

Rhymefest was featured on the track "Bout to Get Ugly" on Ronson's album "Here Comes the Fuzz" in 2003 along with Anthony Hamilton. He was also featured on the official soundtrack to the films The Rundown, Take The Lead, and Big Momma's House 2 with the track Private Dancer along with We Got Action. Fest was also a part of the Marc Eckō video game, "Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure" in 2005 and was most recently featured on the Kanye West track, "We Can Make It Better", on "Hurricane Relief: Come Together Now", a tribute CD for Hurricane Katrina.

A mixtape released in 2001 entitled "Raw Dawg" was largely produced by the then relatively-unknown producer, West. More recently and most notably, he collaborated with West on the record "Jesus Walks", from the ground-breaking album The College Dropout. On February 15, 2005, Rhymefest earned the Grammy Award for Best Rap Song, along with West, for co-writing the song. Rhymefest had the initial idea for the song and discovered the sample used in the song, Arc Choir's "Walk with Me." Rhymefest played the song for West and then gave it to him to use for the album West was working on at the time, The College Dropout. Fest didn't have a record contract at that time and he knew that if West could produce it and become famous, he would be able to gain some notoriety from it as well. Fest co-wrote the chorus and first verse with West and even wrote and performed a third verse that did not make the final cut, but is performed on his mixtape, "A Star is Born".

Rhymefest's much-anticipated first album "Blue Collar" was released July 11, 2006. On the album he works closely with long-time collaborator and producer Mark Ronson, as well as with producers Kanye West, No I.D., Just Blaze and Cool and Dre. The first single off the album is entitled, "Brand New", and is produced by and features West with a video featuring renowned Hip hop model Bria Myles. Artists he collaborates with on "Blue Collar" are Citizen Cope, Carl Thomas, Mario and the late Ol' Dirty Bastard. Rhymefest's second album is scheduled to be released Spring 2009. The album titled "El Che" is expected to show growth and dynamic talent.

In January 2008, Rhymefest released a mixtape album dedicated to the pop star Michael Jackson. Produced by Mark Ronson, the album was called Man In The Mirror after the Jackson song of the same name. During the course of the album, which features samples of Jackson's music interspersed with humorous mock-up conversations between Jackson, Ronson and Rhymefest, the latter proclaims himself to be "the world's biggest Michael Jackson fan".
