[Intro - Piano bounce] Had enough borrowed roofs. Want a life with my name on it. [Verse 1 - Bouncy rap] Don't want big talk, want something that stands, Something I can point to and say that's my hands. Not handed a story, not renting an image, Not hoping a good day does all of the building. Got music to make, got ideas to shape, Got a whole lot of years I don't want to waste. Can start with a page, can start with a beat, Can finish one thing before chasing three. Used to spend drive on defending my past, Now I put it somewhere that might actually last. No overnight empire. No bullshit claim. Just a little more finished at the end of the day. [Build] One brick. One plan. One promise kept By these two hands. [Chorus - Shouted bounce drop] BUILT, NOT BORROWED! MINE TO GROW! I GOT MORE IN ME THAN THE LIFE I KNOW! START SMALL! STAND TALL! I'M MAKING SOMETHING REAL— I'M GIVING IT MY ALL! [Verse 2 - Triplet flow] Moodz on the beat, JCore on the page, Dark Thoughts turning what I lived into shape. Not just a name, gotta do the work, Put the hours behind every word that I write. Make it. Check it. Come back again. A dream needs more than a late-night declaration. If it takes time, I can give that much, Spent enough years letting chances turn to dust. I want that feeling when a thing gets done, Not another plan that I keep running from. Rough day lands, still got a task, Little by little, I'm putting life in my grasp. [Bridge - Piano only] No need to look finished. Need to keep building. Something worth having Can start with a beginning. [Final Chorus - Bigger drop] BUILT, NOT BORROWED! MINE TO GROW! I GOT MORE IN ME THAN THE LIFE I KNOW! START SMALL! STAND TALL! I'M MAKING SOMETHING REAL— I'M GIVING IT MY ALL!
