[Verse 1] They wrote my name in pencil Said it fades in the rain Tried to fold me like a page Tried to file me away I took the hits in silence Bite marks on my pride Counting every time I stumbled Like a ladder I could climb [Chorus] I was born for the last shot, dead end pressure Turn the bruise into bright gold treasure They gon’ talk about my name like a lesson Say I bled, say I broke, say I pressed on (Legend) When the dust and the doubt both settle I’ll be carved in the cracked blue metal Every scar that they tried to weapon That’s the proof I was built Built like a legend [Verse 2] Late nights, cheap coffee Circles under my eyes Everybody had an answer Nobody had my life I kept praying to the ceiling Till I heard my own voice Saying “stand up, stay up You’re the storm, you’re the choice” [Chorus] I was born for the last shot, dead end pressure Turn the bruise into bright gold treasure They gon’ talk about my name like a lesson Say I bled, say I broke, say I pressed on (Legend) When the dust and the doubt both settle I’ll be carved in the cracked blue metal Every scar that they tried to weapon That’s the proof I was built Built like a legend [Bridge] They’ll say I came from nothing (so?) They’ll say I should’ve quit (never) But history loves the stubborn ones Who burn, and still don’t run [Chorus] I was born for the last shot, dead end pressure Turn the bruise into bright gold treasure They gon’ talk about my name like a lesson Say I bled, say I broke, say I pressed on (Legend) When the dust and the doubt both settle I’ll be carved in the cracked blue metal Every scar that they tried to weapon That’s the proof I was built Built like a legend
