[Verse 1] Front page before my first steps Somebody's secret, somebody's regret But a barbell doesn't read the tabloids, man It just waits there till you grab it with both hands [Pre-Chorus] Iron don't care whose blood you carry Iron only speaks when spoken to [Chorus] BUILT FROM IRON - not from name Not the son of someone's shame Every pound I ever pulled was mine I'm the author of this spine Built from iron - BUILT FROM IRON [Verse 2] Six AM, the floor is cold and honest Chalk on my palms like a quiet promise Mirror shows a jaw they think they placed But the man who's staring back - I built that face [Pre-Chorus] Iron don't owe you an apology Iron just rebuilds what breaks in two [Chorus] BUILT FROM IRON - not from name Not the son of someone's shame Every pound I ever pulled was mine I'm the author of this spine Built from iron - BUILT FROM IRON [Bridge] My father's shadow? Yeah, it's long But shadows don't know how to lift four hundred strong They carved their headlines in my skin Before I knew what bones were in [Final Chorus] BUILT FROM IRON! Not from blame! Burn the headline, burn the frame! You can keep the birth certificate I wrote my name in steel and sweat Built from iron - BUILT FROM IRON! [Outro] Iron... iron... iron...
