BUILT DIFFERENT
[INTRO VERSE]
Yeah…
Built different
No blueprint
Still made the structure hold
(Standin')
No guarantees
Still bet it all on myself
(All in)
The road got ugly
I got comfortable there
(No panic)
Most see a wall
I started measurin’
(Think different)
Every bet against me
Added torque to the engine
(Rev it up)
The same ceiling they pointed at…
Look closer…
That's the floor from where I'm standin’
Built different
[HOOK]
The proof kept showin' up
Before I understood it
(Read that)
Certain signs stayed visible
I just couldn't read 'em yet
(Whole time)
The answer kept standin' there
Wearin' different faces
(Look closer)
You hear confidence
I hear evidence
(Big difference)
The story made sense
Soon as I reached this chapter
(There it is)
I was always this
I just didn't know it yet
(Facts)
[VERSE 1]
Trapdoors kept failin'
I kept fallin’ upward
(How?)
Dead ends got confused
Started openin’ sideways
(Whole different)
Roadblocks filed complaints
Said I wasn't usin’ 'em correctly
(Too bad)
The storm pulled up angry
Left askin' me for directions
(Wrong turn)
Setbacks kept throwin' punches
And breakin’ their hands
(Hit harder)
Gravity been watchin' me strange lately
Like I'm ignorin' policy
(No comment)
Even ceilings quit volunteerin'
Once they understood the pattern
(Read that)
Some obstacles arrived as predators
Left as cautionary tales
(Facts)
The same walls they pointed at
Started introducin' themselves as doors
(Too late)
Some equations stopped solvable
The moment my name got added
(Read that)
Destiny kept redrawin' the map
Built different…
The universe still tryna figure out
What the hell to do with me
[HOOK]
The proof kept showin' up
Before I understood it
(Read that)
Certain signs stayed visible
I just couldn't read 'em yet
(Whole time)
The answer kept standin' there
Wearin' different faces
(Look closer)
You hear confidence
I hear evidence
(Big difference)
The story made sense
Soon as I reached this chapter
(There it is)
I was always this
I just didn't know it yet
(Facts)
[VERSE 2]
The destination looked familiar
Before I ever arrived
(Read that)
Certain doors swung open
Like they remembered the footsteps
(Too familiar)
Some frequencies don't get discovered
They get recognized
(Whole difference)
Mercy in one hand
Consequences in the other
Both arrived on time
(Facts)
Looking back…
The blueprint was hidden
Inside the wreckage
(Hold up)
The answers kept showin' up
Wearin' different disguises
(Whole time)
Every collision
Left fingerprints on the assignment
(Read that)
Every detour carried coordinates
I couldn't read back then
(Too early)
The pattern existed
Before the evidence
(Big difference)
The prophecy kept introducing itself
Under different names
(There it is)
Nothing was buildin' me
It was identifyin' me
(Facts)
Built different…
Not because I became somebody else
Because I finally met
Who I already was
(Yeah…)
I was always this
I just didn't know it yet
