Built Different

🎵 BUILT DIFFERENT INTRO Yeah... They laughed when I was broke... Laughed when I was hustlin'... Laughed when I was liftin'... Laughed when I had dreams bigger than my bank account. Funny thing about time... It always tells the truth. This one's for everybody that stayed solid. Let's go. CHORUS Look at me now, I got the whole thing movin', Every loss became a lesson, every scar became improvement, Everybody had opinions when my life was in confusion, Now they watch me from the sidelines while I'm livin' what I'm choosin'. I stayed on the grind, One day at a time, Pressure made a diamond and now I'm finally shinin', Still show love to the people from the bottom of the climb, 'Cause the small ones don't forget ya when you finally get the shine. VERSE 1 They said I'd never make it, never break it, never rise above average, Said I was chasin' dreams while they were focused on what's practical. But I was in the gym while they were comfortable and comfortable ain't magical, Every rep another brick, every set became structural. I remember all the nights when the money wasn't right, Wonderin' if the sacrifices ever justified the fight. Now I'm stronger than I ever been, healthier than ever been, Walkin' through the storms I used to pray I'd simply weather in. Took my lumps, Took my shots, Took the failures on the chin, Learned the difference between talkers and the ones who really win. And I ain't forget the people that believed when it was ugly, The ones that loved me when success was nowhere close enough to hug me. Now the view look different, But my heart stayed the same. I just turned the criticism into fuel for the flame. CHORUS Look at me now, I got the whole thing movin', Every loss became a lesson, every scar became improvement, Everybody had opinions when my life was in confusion, Now they watch me from the sidelines while I'm livin' what I'm choosin'. I stayed on the grind, One day at a time, Pressure made a diamond and now I'm finally shinin', Still show love to the people from the bottom of the climb, 'Cause the small ones don't forget ya when you finally get the shine. VERSE 2 (FAST RAP) I was puttin' in the work when nobody was watchin', Clockin' every hour while the doubters kept talkin', Buildin' every habit, every goal, every option, Locked into the mission while the haters stayed gossipin'. Wake up in the morning with a purpose and a plan, Workin' every angle, every weakness that I can, Understand I never needed validation from a man, I was focused on becoming everything I said I am. Little kid dreams turned into adult obsession, Every setback gave another valuable lesson, Every failure pointed me in a better direction, Now success is lookin' more like an inevitability than a question. Family in my corner, That's the reason I'm still standin', When life was throwin' punches and the pressure kept expandin'. People think it's easy when they see the celebration, They don't see the years of isolation and frustration, Consistency and dedication, Countless nights of mental confrontation, Self-improvement, self-evaluation, Building a foundation. Now the same ones that were hatin' Act amazed by what was made, Like they didn't watch me grind through every storm and every shade. I stayed hungry, Stayed humble, Stayed ready for the rumble, Built the mountain brick by brick and never waited for a stumble. Now I'm lookin' at the summit and I'm smilin' from the view, 'Cause everything they said I couldn't do... I did. CHORUS Look at me now, I got the whole thing movin', Every loss became a lesson, every scar became improvement, Everybody had opinions when my life was in confusion, Now they watch me from the sidelines while I'm livin' what I'm choosin'. I stayed on the grind, One day at a time, Pressure made a diamond and now I'm finally shinin', Still show love to the people from the bottom of the climb, 'Cause the small ones don't forget
