I know I was built for this shit
I know that I came equipped to, weather any storm
I know that I was built for this shit
I know that I came equipped to, weather any storm
So please don't start to doubt me now
Since my younger days felt it was only me
My mama died, I was 14 Ty was only 3
And Darion was in infant
In an instant I became a man
Happiness became nonexistent like a wish in hand
And not to distant my depression persisted
Stuck on my pivot, mentally neglected slowly I drifted
Toward that street life
Remember nights I had to beat the street lights home
Feel like I need a rewrite
To re-right these wrongs
I need nights alone
To reminisce sometimes I feel as if I belong
In a mental home
Man my feelings got me in the zone
I need a clone some days I feel as if I can't go on
They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
And plenty rain and lack of sunny rays will make you hunger
For better days, when the thunder banged I never strayed
Just thru on my wipers stayed in my lane, kept goin
I know I was built for this shit
(I'm built for it)
I know that I came equipped to, weather any storm
(Anything you throw my way
I'mma overcome every single day)
I know that I was built for this shit
(I'm built for it)
I know that I came equipped to, weather any storm
(You can throw me to the wolves in fact
I'mma come back leader of the pack)
So please don't start to doubt me now
I buried my old ways no cold case
Still they trying to make the glove fit No OJ
No comprende
We don't speak the same language homes
Couldn't dissect my dialect with the rosetta stone
I'm one of one
Big noise megaphone now you hear me clear
Forced my way in in places even when they ain't want me there
Cuz my stats ain't match they demographics
Unapologetic refuse to tone down my blackness still
Where I'm from it's common practice if you pack the steel
I got booked, was young and slipped, man my past is real
And some will judge like they ain't did worse
So whoever is without sin, you can throw your stone first
They say what don't kill you make you stronger
And plenty rain and lack of sunny rays will make you hunger
For better days when the thunder banged I never strayed
Just thru on my wipers stayed in my lane
I know I was built for this shit
(I'm built for it)
I know that I came equipped to, weather any storm
(Anything you throw my way
I'mma overcome every single day)
I know that I was built for this shit
(I'm built for it)
I know that I came equipped to, weather any storm
(You can throw me to the wolves in fact
I'mma come back leader of the pack)
So please don't start to doubt me now
Just when I thought that I been thru it all
I received a dreadful phone call
And my wife was on the other end
And I could hear the trouble in her tone
She said babe, your brother's been involved
In an accident
What? My first reaction
Damn, my emotions came crashing
Hard, I'm in the car racing fast to the ER
Tears streaming all down my face like please god
Let my baby bro be just fine
I don't want to have to say goodbye
What a beautiful life just begun
Its true what they say that the good die young
But, what doesn't kill you make you stronger
And plenty rain lack of sunny rays will make you hunger
For better days when the thunder banged I never strayed
Just thru on my wipers stayed in my lane I kept goin
I know I was built for this shit
(I'm built for it)
I know that I came equipped to, weather any storm
(Anything you throw my way
I'mma overcome every single day)
I know that I was built for this shit
(I'm built for it)
