[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? (x2)
[Jelani Blackman]: 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

[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

[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
