Built like them

Intro] (distant thunder, metal footsteps, slow heartbeat) Everybody got heroes Mine all looked broken underneath the armor ⸻ [Hook] Built like Tony with anxiety hidden Built like Batman, whole room get scanned when I’m in it Built like Hulk, too much pressure in my spirit Built like Logan, keep healing while I’m bleeding Built like Vegeta, pride won’t let me quit Even exhausted, I still get up and lift Everybody see strength Nobody see the damage that come with it ⸻ [Verse 1 – Batman] I read body language like survival instinct Notice every fake smile soon as somebody grin Walk in a room and instantly map exits Cause peace never felt permanent where I lived Mind always running reconnaissance missions Trying to protect everybody from collisions Meanwhile I’m isolated inside my own thoughts Like a dark cave filled with unfinished decisions People think calm means I’m okay Nah, I just mastered what not to say Whole life learned how to absorb pain quietly So nobody else gotta carry the weight Late nights, no sleep Overthinking every conversation Trying to save relationships While slowly losing my patience ⸻ [Pre-Hook] And I know This ain’t healthy But protecting people became my identity ⸻ [Hook] Built like Tony with anxiety hidden Built like Batman, whole room get scanned when I’m in it Built like Hulk, too much pressure in my spirit Built like Logan, keep healing while I’m bleeding Built like Vegeta, pride won’t let me quit Even exhausted, I still get up and lift Everybody see strength Nobody see the damage that come with it ⸻ [Verse 2 – Hulk / Wolverine] I hate when anger start climbing Feel it in my chest like a siren One bad moment and suddenly The version of me I fear starts rising And I ain’t tryna become destruction That’s why I disappear when emotions erupting Driving for hours with music blasting Trying to cool a reactor malfunctioning Healing factor slowing down lately Stress got my bones feeling shaky Still wake up, still provide Still stand tall when life try break me Everybody need something from me Bills, pressure, expectations stacked But who repairs the one carrying everybody When his own soul starting to crack? ⸻ [Bridge – Tony Stark] (stripped piano, quieter vocal) I joke when I’m uncomfortable Build things when I feel helpless Act confident so nobody notices How hard I am on myself Truth is I’m terrified of failing the people I love That’s the engine under all this metal ⸻ [Final Verse – Vegeta] But quitting? That never sat right with me Even broken, I still fight differently Cause I got sons watching how I move Got a wife that still believe in me too And even when I feel defeated inside Something in me refuse to lose Maybe pride saved me sometimes Maybe stubbornness kept me alive Maybe God wired me this way Cause pressure creates diamonds over time So if life wanna test me again Cool I done survived worse nights than this I done stood in emotional fires And still found enough love not to quit ⸻ [Final Hook] Built like Tony with anxiety hidden Built like Batman, whole room get scanned when I’m in it Built like Hulk, too much pressure in my spirit Built like Logan, keep healing while I’m bleeding Built like Vegeta, pride won’t let me quit Even exhausted, I still get up and lift Everybody see strength Now they finally see What comes with it ⸻ [Outro] (choir swelling, rain fading) Not a superhero Just a man Trying to survive Without becoming the storm
