Verse 1
Woke up with the weight of the world on my shoulders
Still tied my boots, still moving boulders
I’ve been the calm in the eye of the storm
Heart full of scars but the soul still warm
I’ve lost sleep chasing things I believe
Gave more love than I ever received
Hands been dirty, yeah, faith been clean
I don’t talk loud, but I live what I mean
Pre-Chorus
I’ve bent but I never broke
Every low just fed the hope
If you ask me how I stand so tall
It’s ‘cause I learned how to crawl
Chorus
I’m built like this, yeah I earned these lines
Every crack in me tells my time
I don’t shine ‘cause the road was fair
I shine ‘cause I stayed when it wasn’t there
Love heavy, heart don’t quit
Pain tried me but I’m built like this
Verse 2
I carry names that I’ll never let down
Every promise echoes loud in my sound
I’ve been the anchor, the shield, the flame
Still learning how to breathe through the pain
I don’t fold when the pressure speaks
I just dig a little deeper in me
If I fall, I fall forward still
‘Cause quitting’s never been part of my will
Pre-Chorus
I’ve bled truth into every plan
Still reaching out with an open hand
If the sky ever starts to fall
I’ll hold it up for us all
Chorus
I’m built like this, yeah I earned these lines
Every crack in me tells my time
I don’t shine ‘cause the road was fair
I shine ‘cause I stayed when it wasn’t there
Love heavy, heart don’t quit
Pain tried me but I’m built like this
Verse 3 (Rap)
Yeah
I come from nights where the doubt got loud
Still talked to God like, “Don’t let me down”
Had to be strong when I felt unseen
Had to lead while I healed in between
Every win got a bruise attached
Every lesson cost me cash
But I’d pay it again for the life I live
For the love I guard, for the fight I give
I’m not perfect, just present, just real
Just a man tryna leave something they can feel
If they remember me, let it be this—
I never ran… I was built like this
Bridge
If I disappear tomorrow
Know my heart stayed here
Every step was borrowed
But the love was sincere
Final Chorus / Outro
I’m built like this, yeah I earned my name
Through the fire, through the rain
If the world forgets what I did
Just know I loved hard—I was built like this
