Built Different Lyrics by Futuristic, Michael Minelli

I Know What You’re Thinking...

2021

[Intro: Futuristic]
Yeah, uh

[Chorus: Futuristic]
We are not the same, I put that on my name
We built way different (Ayy)
I be with the gang, oh, I be in my lane
And my gears keep shifting, yeah
We are not the same, I put that on my name
We built way different
Way different, way different, way
Way different, way different

[Verse 1: Futuristic]
Yaow, and when it all falls down, I'll be standing here (Yeah)
No smoking mirror, see my image when the panic clear
I had to face 'em, I еrased all of my damage
Fears, my family and my homiеs know the boy that been the man for years, yeah
Respect what I demand from peers (Now)
Wipe my tears, now I'm shining like a chandelier
In comfy clothes and heated seats, look how we [?]
They asked me what I'm 'bout to do when I already planned a year
Yo, I'm the definition of grind
Definition of work, definition of mind power
And I bloom like a flower soon as I rhyme
I ain't need a watch, I could tell that it was my time
It's valuable, my morals ain't malleable, I remind
Did it without a label, I'm counting these dollar signs
Without signing dotted lines, I'm not even in my prime (Hey, hey, hey)
Focusing on the future, no need to look what's behind (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
I'm saying, uh

[Chorus: Futuristic]
We are not the same, I put that on my name
We built way different (Ayy)
I be with the gang, oh, I be in my lane
And my gears keep shifting (Yeah)
We are not the same, I put that on my name
We built way different
Way different, way different, way
Way different, way different

[Verse 2: Futuristic]
Yo, you should never ever feel like you the smartest in the room
Small circle, chosen few, disregarded all the crew
It was stagnant, and they matched it, latching on to how I move
But wasn't benefiting, I should never wanted more than you
And that's hard to do (Yep)
'Cause growth occurs out of your comfort zone (Uh-huh)
Like when you go off to college and leave your mother's home (Uh-huh)
I'm just tryna do something that's never done before
To help some people out, I ain't tripping off off no demo war
I'm here with all my people (Whoo) like the movies and the sequels (Whoo)
When you have the stance, I promise I'm the GOAT, we never equal (Nah)
And the house is made of glass, all this cash is looking see-through
The flow is lethal, I take shots and I thread the needle
I'll pistol Pete you, Steve Nash off of the screen move (Sheesh)
Lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink too (Ha)
Teach you how to fish, catch a fish and then I feed you
I hope you get the difference and you see the shit that we do
I'm saying, uh

[Chorus: Futuristic & Michael Minelli]
We are not the same, I put that on my name
We built way different (Ayy)
I be with the gang, oh, I be in my lane
And the gears keep shifting (Yeah)
We are not the same, I put that on my name
We built way different
Way different, way different, way
Way different, way different

[Verse 3: Michael Minelli]
I consider the competition is non-existent
People say I'm different, a unicorn of sorts (Yeah)
A walking contradiction
Tell me how you judging me, you got no pot to piss in (Yeah)
I guess it's some type of condition 'cause I clearly see the ears up on your head, but you still fail to listen
Thinking you better? That's silly, tell me who is you kidding
You say with your religion, hate I'm in this position but it was bound to happen
Like that fitted glued to your head, the way you capping for 'em
Making magic like it's the 80's, we sold out the [?]
Had to go in the 9-to-5 just to keep you warm
They saying that life is too short, settle down, get yourself a Nia Long (Yeah)
You catch me out on the island, I'm isolated
Never been the type to try and go to search for the validation (Yeah)
Appreciate the concern, I guess I'll live and learn
Never wanted to build back a bridge I went and burn
I'm saying

[Chorus: Futuristic & Michael Minelli]
Uh, we are not the same, I put that on my name
We built way different (Ayy)
I be with the gang, oh, I be in my lane
And the gears keep shifting (Yeah)
We are not the same, I put that on my name
We built way different (We're built way different)
Way different, way different, way
Way different, way different (Way different)

We are not the same, I put that on my name
We built way different (Ayy)
I be with the gang, oh, I be in my lane
And the gears keep shifting (Yeah)
We are not the same, I put that on my name
We built way different
Way different, way different, way
Way different, way different
