Lyrics:

There were no role models. It didn’t matter… I was built different.

I find it kind of funny, the way you get frowned upon for being different...
By the majority...
But the majority ain’t where they want to be,
So me, yeah, I’m glad to be part of the minority.
The world wants me to be down there with them, but I’m not part of their system, I’m glad I was built different.
I’m glad I’ve got a mind of my own,
There was no path to follow, so I paved my own.
Where I started I had no role models, that never mattered to me...
(That never mattered to me)
Because the power of my mind is all that I need
All that I need
All that I need
I knew I had to be the one
I knew I had to be different
I knew I had to overcome
I knew I had the persistence
It doesn’t happen overnight
but I was built for long distance
I was failure resistant
I guess I was BUILT DIFFERENT.

I don’t know how to quit
I was built different
I don’t know how to give up
I was built different
I don’t know how to stop
I was built different
I was built different
Yeah, I was built different
Locked in on my goals
I was built different
I’m not a sheep I’m a beast!
I was built different
There’s nothing that can stop me
I was built different
I was built different, yeah
I was built different

Being different is a blessing,
I really can’t say what it is but I think, work and learn different.
That’s why I earn different.
It’s the reason I can rise to the top and not be another statistic.
I never had no hand outs, no silver spoons, no fancy education,
Just my imagination… and my determination
I had to be the best version of me
So I could reach my destination

And when the setbacks came I knew that they were set ups
I never complained, I kept my head up
I found a way, I had the will,
so I found a way to overcome ANYTHING that came my way.
There was no easy part
There was no easy way
I had to pave the way
I had to make the way
At the end of the day
I was built different
I either win or I learn
I don’t fail.

I don’t know how to quit
I was built different
I don’t know how to give up
I was built different
I don’t know how to stop
I was built different
I was built different, yeah
I was built different
Locked in on my goals
I was built different
I’m not a sheep I’m a beast!
I was built different
There’s nothing that can stop me
I was built different
I was built different yeah
I was built different

They told me to play it safe,
Get a safe education, safe job, safe yearly vacation
Take the easy way out, you won’t be happy but it’s easy
Kicking-back every night, you know, just watching TV.
But I’ve got something inside, something built in my mind
I wanna live not survive
I got the heart of a lion.
I couldn’t live my whole life without trying
The choice is mine,
I choose to aim high and fly

I’d rather try and fail instead of not trying at all
I aim high, I’m not afraid of a fall.
There’ll never be a day when I’m not giving my all
When greatness rings I gotta answer my call.

I’ll do what other’s won’t
I’ll do what other’s don’t
I’ll put in the time
I’ll put in the grind
I’ve only gotta know the next step
I’ll never settle and I outwork the rest
BUILT DIFFERENT.
