Built Like Us

Lots of trials & tribulations lately
The fact that i got a taste
Made me dream away to a better place
Reality is different though
I wake up take my ass to work
Refuse to let my pockets hurt
But shredding every obstacle
That's on my turf
My garden like Madison
The peak of where i'm heading son
The flow is like a veteran
Gave you my word
And then i got it done
Lamping through the night
Like a fox ima get my turn
Cut the meat & eat it well done
They switching sides
And saying well done
You we're not present
When i had no crumbs
I sat for hours master my plan
Indulged in conversations bout growth
And steered away from bad habits
Had to change my patterns
Getting calls like you changed up
Discussions like that got me ramped up
From here on out
Don't ever speak to me
If you ain't bout development
All that gossip is irrelevant
Yeah

You were not with us
When we had it rough
You cannot compare
You ain't built like us
Promise all the pain
It gon' turn to luck
Do it for the homies
Cuz in them i trust
You were not with us
When we had it rough
You cannot compare
You ain't built like us
Promise all the pain
It gon' turn to luck
Do it for the homies
Cuz in them i trust

It's over for a lot of y'all
My back against the wall
But i can never fall
Balancing the good and bad with ease
This is normal y'all
There were times
I had to skip some meals
I talk about my flaws
Cuz i'm a person that has truly healed
Sealed the deal independently
Cuz we're hustlers dawg
They twist and turn for answers,
They don't know that
This a lifestyle dawg
Defending all the homies
Like the pentagon
I give her good D
Staying healthy
This the renaissance
I'm letting go of the old version
Tapped in with the new person
I'm stitched like a Coogi sweater
God is my only surgeon
I'm blocking all the lay-ups
Disturb your peace & hustling
Till i'm way up
You tried to get your grades up
I looked for niggas that were bosses
Cuz i tried to live my life to the fullest
While these young-ins catching bullets
RIP another life buried
I try to show another way
Through these songs lately

You were not with us
When we had it rough
You cannot compare
You ain't built like us
Promise all the pain
It gon' turn to luck
Do it for the homies
Cuz in them i trust
You were not with us
When we had it rough
You cannot compare
You ain't built like us
Promise all the pain
It gon' turn to luck
Do it for the homies
Cuz in them i trust
