Built 2 last

Verse 1

Yeah, look

I keep my head down, locked in the zone

Working in the dark, carving out my own throne

They talk behind my back, throwing all their cheap stones

Sitting on the sidelines, scrolling through their phones

Every single day, yeah, they testing what I'm on

Got my blinders bolted tight, man, I'm trying to move on

Focus on the craft, trying to sharpen up the steel

While they living in a dream and I'm dealing with the real

Patience running thin, yeah, it's hanging by a thread

All the voices screaming loud, echoing inside my head

They love to see you stumble, love to watch you fall apart

Try to put a cap on the fire in my heart

You can keep on talking, keep on running up your mouth

While I'm climbing up the mountain, trying to figure out

How to stay level when the noise is getting high

Looking at the upper limit, trying not to let it break

Every single move I make is keeping them awake.

​[Chorus]

Yeah, keep on talking, I can hear the noise

Just a bunch of echoes from a bunch of boys

Living in my shadow, letting envy consume

Trying to find some quiet in a crowded room

Yeah, you want a reaction, want to see me snap

Keep on laying traps, but I never look back

Patience is a virtue that I'm running out of fast

Built this from the bottom and I'm built to last.

​[Verse 2]

Look—don't look back, just keep moving ahead

Every single word that you said is dead weight

Dragging down the pace, trying to complicate

The mission that I’m on, yeah, I dedicate

My life to the grind, sweat dripping on the floor

Every time I lock it, they keep pounding on the door

Jealousy is ugly, man, I see it on your face

Running in a circle while I'm winning out the race

Perfection is the goal, yeah, I'm perfecting the art

Tearing down the walls, putting pieces back to start

You don't know the struggle, you just see the final glow

Sitting on your couch with nothing better to show

Keep my name out your mouth, keep your eyes on your plate

Stop worrying about the progress that I dictate

I'm walking through the fire and I'm coming out refined

Leaving all the losers and the haters far behind.

​[Chorus]

Yeah, keep on talking, I can hear the noise

Just a bunch of echoes from a bunch of boys

Living in my shadow, letting envy consume

Trying to find some quiet in a crowded room

Yeah, you want a reaction, want to see me snap

Keep on laying traps, but I never look back

Patience is a virtue that I'm running out of fast

Built this from the bottom and I'm built to last.

​[Verse 3]

Tick-tock, clock's moving, man, I ain't got the time

To listen to the nonsense of a parasite rhyme

You invest in my life more than I invest in yours

Knocking on a locked and barricaded doors

I'm a soldier in the trenches, trading comfort for the pay

While you gamble all your hours away and squander every day

Don't mistake the quiet for a weakness or a doubt

I'm just plotting out the strategy and sorting who's about

To get left in the dust when the engine finally roars

Patience finally snapped, and you're stepping through my doors—

Metaphorically speaking, 'cause you never want it real

You just want to play the victim when I show you how I feel

About the vultures in the circle trying to pick apart the food

I'm immune to the poison and I'm locked into the mood.

​[Chorus]

Yeah, keep on talking, I can hear the noise

Just a bunch of echoes from a bunch of boys

Living in my shadow, letting envy consume

Trying to find some quiet in a crowded room

Yeah, you want a reaction, want to see me snap

Keep on laying traps, but I never look back

Patience is a virtue that I'm running out of fast

Built this from the bottom and I'm built to last.
