Lyrics

I was raised on the grind, I was built from the dirt,
Turned pain into plans, turned the losses to work.
They were sleepin’ on me, now they’re wide awake,
‘Cause I built every move with a risk I’d take.
I was broke, I was down, I was hungry to grow,
Now I’m front row seats at the life I chose.
They were talkin’ that talk, I was makin’ it real,
I was prayin’ for breaks, now I’m spinnin’ the wheel.
I don’t wait for a hand, I don’t beg for a chance,
I just double my steps till I’m makin’ ’em dance.
Every knock, every door that they closed on my name,
Just a spark for the fire that’s fuelin’ the flame.
I was built for this — I don’t fold, don’t quit,
Every scar, every loss made me stronger with it.
I was built for this — yeah, the grind don’t sleep,
I was born for the climb and the mountain’s deep.
I was built for this — yeah, I rise, I fight,
Put my blood in the game and my soul in the mic.
I was built for this — yeah, I’m here, I stay,
Every block they throw down, I just pave my way.
I was out on the block tryna make ends meet,
Now I’m bossin’ my time, now I own these streets.
They were laughin’ at dreams I was scared to say,
Now they copy my steps, tryna walk my way.
I was dead broke once, now I triple the stakes,
Every “no” that I heard was the fuel it takes.
I don’t chase what they chase, I don’t beg, don’t plead,
I just plant my plans, now I watch ’em seed.
I’m the proof you can grow where the light don’t reach,
I’m the lesson they skip but the truth I teach.
I was made in the dark, I was carved by the fight,
Now I glow in the storm, now I shine in the night.
I was built for this — I don’t fold, don’t quit,
Every scar, every loss made me stronger with it.
I was built for this — yeah, the grind don’t sleep,
I was born for the climb and the mountain’s deep.
I was built for this — yeah, I rise, I fight,
Put my blood in the game and my soul in the mic.
I was built for this — yeah, I’m here, I stay,
Every block they throw down, I just pave my way.
I was told I’d fail — but I flipped that script.
They said I’d fall — but I stood and gripped.
They said I’d break — but I carved my name,
‘Cause I’m built from the fire, not born for the fame.
I was built for this — I don’t fold, don’t quit,
Every scar, every loss made me stronger with it.
I was built for this — yeah, I rise, I fight,
Put my blood in the game and my soul in the mic.
I was built for this — yeah, I break those chains,
Turn the struggle to strength, turn the hurt to gains.
I was built for this — yeah, I’ll never fall,
I was made to survive — I can take it all.
