When we start, I'm an animal inside an animal.
I got a name, just gotta build it.
Change a letter and double one that I have, roll me around, oh wait, don't take that!
Alright let's come back to the big state because I'm not a fan of that!
Now that we're here, let's look ahead.
I guess you need me before all else.
What am I?

If making a building is something you wish, you'd better use me in order to flourish.
