Lyrics
*VERSE 1*
I'm over 9000 wit it
I feel like I can beat aids if Magic did it
Leap tall buildings stop bullets and all that
Stop look and watch mutha fucka I'm All That
I've been cursed with this curse no hearse for me
What's death for you's a dirt nap for me
Eternity is reserved for me
I'm built Ford tough from the hood factory
Imma factor b, come game time
You better note where I'm at on that DLine
Or it's a Bline, from behind
All Madden over here no rewind
You say ya hot on ya tracks butchu be lyin'
You're Alaskan at best I'm Hawaiian
I am in this bitch til the sun pops
The moon drops or the Earth's spins stop
*HOOK*
You see me, yeah I'm still here
Run tell dat, I'm built to last
No question now, yeah this shit's real
Doubt if you want n*****, I'm built to last
Fuck rhymin' for the hook I got a point to make
Pay attention kid, I'm built to last
Inside and out, mind body and soul
It shows that, I'm built to last
*VERSE 2*
You wanna know how long I'm gonna be here for
Listen to Stevie Wonder's "As" for the metaphor
As long as Chris Rock's been here since CB4
I'm a threat to life that n*****s never seen before
Heroes get remembered but legends never die
Villains get dismembered and thugs never cry
And I'm a bit of all of the above admittedly
So perish the thought of killing me lyrically
Know your role or I'll devour your soul
No force on Earth can match the power I hold
So, slow your pace 'fore I spit in your face
X told n*****s the type of statement that makes
Yeah, dems the breaks no eatin' while I'm here
Been starvin' awhile don't intend to share
Peer into the future I'm here til the apocalypse
Feed me your hate I'm built to take the shit and rock wit it
*HOOK*
You see me, yeah I'm still here
Run tell dat, I'm built to last
No question now, yeah this shit's real
Doubt if you want n*****, I'm built to last
Fuck rhymin' for the hook I got a point to make
Pay attention kid, I'm built to last
Inside and out, mind body and soul
It shows that, I'm built to last
*VERSE 3*
Achilles wit out the tendon Foreman wit the bob 'n' weave
NWA if Cube doesn't leave
Daigo on the sticks, Nike wit the kicks
Marvel wit the flicks, and me witcha bitch
There's things you can't stop and you'd do well to know that
A chance to survive fuck wit me and you'll blow that
On my Diddy shit n***** take that take that
You stop me picture that, Kodak
*HOOK*
You see me, yeah I'm still here
Run tell dat, I'm built to last
No question now, yeah this shit's real
Doubt if you want n*****, I'm built to last
Fuck rhymin' for the hook I got a point to make
Pay attention kid, I'm built to last
Inside and out, mind body and soul
It shows that, I'm built to last
