[Intro]
When the Lord say
When the, when the Lord say
When the Lord say
When the—
When the Lord say
When the Lord, when the Lord say
When the Lord say
When the—
[Chorus: Jelani Blackman, with Ghetts]
Am I built like this? Are you built like this?
Or tell me, do I just feel like this?
Am I built like this? Are you built like this?
Or tell me, do I just feel righteous?
Am I built like this? Are you built like this?
Or tell me, do I just feel like this?
Am I built like this? Are you built like this?
Or tell me, do I just feel righteous?
[Verse 1: Jelani Blackma]
Was I built like this? ‘Cause I feel this way
Insane truth but it feels like rage
Nobody knows, nobody can change
Just want true north, everybody contains
Praising hate and they nurtured shame, stains
Many road blocks in the lane
Just blocks on blocks but we chop sugar cane
Came from sweet but we left in chains, mmm
Came from chains but we left in chains
Engrained, that's greatness in the veins
Told you that your nature ain't safe
These days when we're tryna put trees in graves
No aims except to let egos play
Mad when you see the whole ting take shape
Like war on drugs, you can't kill cocaine
Bait that they wanna put yutes in cage
[Chorus: Jelani Blackman, with Ghetts]
Am I built like this? Are you built like this?
Or tell me, do I just feel like this?
Am I built like this? Are you built like this?
Or tell me, do I just feel righteous?
[Verse 2: Ghetts]
Naughty by nature
Maybe it was nurtured
Maybe as a baby I was cursed
So maybe I was taxed already
Four years old, found dad's machete
Mum was stabbed, she was tryna find a way to word it
Man of the house whenever dad went
I wish DNA stood for “dad never absent”
Woman been abandoned
Now her kid's lookin' for some action
Even with the pussies or the mandem
Now I got new friends, couple of day one's still around
But most my day one's, I outgrew them
That's just growth as a human
The three-piece suit wouldn't suit them
It sounds harsh 'til I'm in public settings
And one of my gully friends takes another rapper's Cuban
I guess something's gotta change
Either you or your environment
That's just a basic requirement
[Chorus: Jelani Blackman, with Ghetts]
Am I built like this? Are you built like this?
Or tell me, do I just feel like this?
Am I built like this? Are you built like this?
Or tell me, do I just feel righteous?
[Verse 3: Jelani Blackman]
Am I built like this? I don't feel like that
Off track, tell them I will come back ASAP
Nah, nah, I don't wanna hear stats
It's a rocky road but there's gold in the contacts
If you remove your eyeballs from your iMac
Break in your psyche like a Kit-Kat like cats
One day your whole world's cracked in fact
Please brace for the impact, don't lack
Some people live for the stacks, then drop
Some people live for the drop, then stack
Might leave my heart in the mosh
Too hard like feds leaving scars with the kosh
You're a boss, but your path's masked under the floss
Girlfriend's a stranger under the gloss
Can't shift nature, I nurture the odds
Like Scott, too many man there play God
[Chorus: Jelani Blackman & Ghetts]
Am I built like this? Are you built like this?
Or tell me, do I just feel like this?
Am I built like this? Are you built like this?
Or tell me, do I just feel righteous?
[Outro: Jelani Blackman]
Real comes natural to me
Lies don't sound factual to me
The cure ain't found in a. Capsule to me
What's black and white to you is pastel to me
