Fade away

I’m built different, I’m not like these other kids

Yeah I’m built different, never lived how another lived

Follow the path of the Lord and I don’t stray

Pack leader in the field, yeah I paved the way

Got money now, put the jewels away

Stack it up quiet for a rainy day

No more waiting for a breakaway

Now my shots hit clean, watch the fadeaway

I’m not a young man, I got ambition

Like tortilla chips, boy I’m on a mission

Sometimes I stop like an intermission

Then I bounce right back with a sharper vision

Learned from the hurt, learned from the loss

Came up broke but I still paid cost

Made my own lane, never needed your cross

Now I’m headed to the top and I won’t get tossed

Mind stay heavy but my soul stay clean

Pray every night just to stay unseen

Devil in the shadows tryna creep in between

But the Lord got my back like a winning team

Yeah I walk with strength that you can’t imitate

Turn pain into pressure that elevates

All gas, no brakes, yeah I reinstate

What I earn I protect, never hesitate

I’m built different, I’m not like these other kids

Yeah I’m built different, never lived how another lived

Follow the path of the Lord and I don’t stray

Pack leader in the field, yeah I paved the way

Got money now, put the jewels away

Stack it up quiet for a rainy day

No more waiting for a breakaway

Now my shots hit clean, watch the fadeaway

People wanna talk like they know my pain

But they never walked once through my terrain

Cold nights, hard fights, storms in the rain

But I pushed through all of it, built my frame

I’m a product of grit, not luck or chance

Had to stand on ten with a tightened stance

Never asked for a pass, had to take advance

Now I lead these wolves while the others dance

My story ain’t soft, it’s steel and bone

Carried weight so long it became my own

I don’t brag much, but the truth been shown

I was forged in the fire that would break your throne

Yeah I guard my peace, I protect my life

Cut off snakes when they cut too twice

Now I think real sharp, never roll the dice

Built different in blood, not built nice

I’m built different, I’m not like these other kids

Yeah I’m built different, never lived how another lived

Follow the path of the Lord and I don’t stray

Pack leader in the field, yeah I paved the way

Got money now, put the jewels away

Stack it up quiet for a rainy day

No more waiting for a breakaway

Now my shots hit clean, watch the fadeaway
