Built Like That

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They said, “Calm down,” I said, “Why bother?”
Life’s too short to play it smaller.
Fake friends ghosted? Cool, that’s fine,
‘Cause I’m stacking wins like it’s overtime.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not perfect, I’m not polished,
But I’m real and that’s a promise.
Laughing through the mess I made,
They’ll miss the glow when I’m gone someday.

[Chorus]
I’m built like that, you can’t break me,
Scars on my heart? Yeah, they made me.
Put me last, I’ll still come first—
I turn my pain into my worth.
I’m built like that, like try me,
Thrive in the fire, don’t need them to like me.
Write me off? Nah, I’ll rewrite that—
I’m built like that, I’m built like that.

[Post-Chorus Hook]
“Built like that!” (Yeah, yeah)
“Built like that!” (What’s up?)
(Catchy call-and-response chant for TikTok clips)

[Verse 2]
They post their lives, I’m living mine,
Don’t need a filter to prove I shine.
Late nights crying? Oh, we’ve been there,
But I laugh now, ‘cause I don’t compare.

Heartbreak’s just a plot twist, bro,
Turn my losses into “let’s go!”
I’m still standing, I’m still loud,
They tried to bury me, didn’t know I’m the ground.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not perfect, I’m not polished,
But I’m real and that’s a promise.
Laughing through the mess I made,
They’ll miss the glow when I’m gone someday.

[Chorus]
I’m built like that, you can’t break me,
Scars on my heart? Yeah, they made me.
Put me last, I’ll still come first—
I turn my pain into my worth.
I’m built like that, like try me,
Thrive in the fire, don’t need them to like me.
Write me off? Nah, I’ll rewrite that—
I’m built like that, I’m built like that.

[Bridge]
I’m not your hero, I’m not your ghost,
I’m just a vibe that they’ll miss the most.
They hate me? Cool. I love me more,
They’ll watch my name when I’m out the door.

(Soft pause, beat slows)
“Built like that?” Yeah, let ‘em know.
(Drop back hard for TikTok-ready hook)

[Post-Chorus Hook]
“Built like that!” (Yeah, yeah)
“Built like that!” (Say what?)
“Built like that!” (Play it back!)
(Catchy chant—perfect for edits, remixes, and glow-ups.)

[Outro]
Put me last, I’ll still come first—
‘Cause I’m built like that.
Turn my pain into my worth—
Yeah, I’m built like that.
