Lyrics By: J.G. Argo ©2026 Verse 1 (Low guitar pulse, kick + sub rumble) Thirteen on the mat, world buzzing in static Tiny speakers in my ears, rhythm automatic Didn’t hear it like they did — still I caught the cue Felt the floor through my feet — knew just what to do Instructor calling drills, I was reading his breath Watched the shoulders shift, not the words he said Silence wasn’t empty — it was tension and tone I learned how to strike from the weight in my bones Pre-Chorus They said, “Listen close.” I was already aware. They said, “Watch your step.” I was trained to feel air. Chorus (Explosive. Primal. 808 + live drums) I’m built different Always have been 808 heart Let the bass kick in Didn’t know my eyes Were fading away Still I stood tall Still I found my way I don’t need perfect To stand on the mat Power in my body Feel all of that Built different Born in the flame You can dim the lights I stay the same Verse 2 (Rap Hybrid — tighter percussive cadence) Yeah — Whole life amplified, tech in my ear World half-muted, vision unclear Didn’t know the frame was closing in Still ten toes down, still stepping in Thirty years deep — truth hit hard Legally blind? I’d already sparred No warning sign, no softer lane Just sweat, discipline, calibrated pain Adapt, adjust — that’s warrior skill Balance in darkness, center still You call it limit, I call it design Pressure cut diamond down the spine Bridge (Half-time. Sub heavy. Deep vocal layering) No pity. No crown. No fragile glory. Just breath in the dark And a disciplined warrior. (808 pulse — heartbeat pattern — crowd stomp texture) Final Chorus (Bigger. Crowd-call structure.) Built different Say it again Built different Always have been 808 heart Feel it begin You can dim the lights But I won’t dim Eyes may fade But the fire won’t You can doubt But I don’t Built different Let the bass proclaim You can dim the lights I stay the same
