Wild Lyle - Built To Last Lyrics

I never had friends that rock and roll with me
Thought that they should, but it wasn't meant to be
Gift of gab is what heaven sent to me
I'm built to last, did it all mentally
(I am built to last, built to last, built to last
I am built to last, built to last, built to last)
I never had friends that rock and roll with me
Thought that they should, but it wasn't meant to be
Gift of gab is what heaven sent to me
I'm built to last, did it all mentally
(I am built to last)
It started in like 99, was under the impression
I was the bottom line, flow's a picture of perfection
Plus, I spoke with no discretion
Wanna be that Indie, Indie
Colt 45, beer Henny, Alize up in me
Listened to the vision
Heard the f*cking light
Saw the damn sound
And it felt right
Everything I say, everything I do
They were describing me
When they said, do you
Cause being me is so beautiful
I am not the usual, I am built to last
I built a whole tradition like Kentucky bluegrass
Wild Lyle's a brand, name me whatever man
I am so high, I feel I will never land
Writing all the damn songs, building up a better plan
I am a business, I am offensive
Offending anybody, whoever comes up against this
I'm stuck in the moment like I'm my only opponent
Rarely get writer's block, I'm just sitting here zoning
Picture my performance when I'm larger than life
While the crowds get enormous when I'm part of the mic
Was always known to throw a party from the night to the light
Wild Lyle cause he's always taking part in a fight
Now Lyle is only ripping apart these mics
I'm built to last, my music can save your life
(I am built to last, built to last, built to last
I am built to last, built to last, built to last
I am built to last, built to last, built to last
I am built to last, built to last, built to last
I am built to last)
Was always known to throw a party from the night to the light
Wild Lyle cause he's always taking part in a fight
Now Lyle is only ripping apart these mics
I'm built to last, my music can save your life
I know
I said listen to me
Didn't understand you weren't in the same position as me
I had to bring you in, then I let you leave
I'm fresh oxygen, why can't you breathe
I want radio play, but it's not up to me
My music, white boys yellin', that shit is sweet
Black dudes be like, yo man, it's not enough street
And every girl is asking, where's the song for me
It's all for you if you paying a fee
Cause I feel I should never play for free
Plus the things I say is like I play for keeps
Had Shaz on a couple songs, they should be booming in your jeeps
But you probably never heard'em, mu'f*ckas too cheap
Once heard that my lyrics are too steep
But I should get love all over the damn place
That's good, cause I'm in search of a fanbase
Was always known to throw a party from the night to the light
Wild Lyle cause he's always taking part in a fight
Now Lyle is only ripping apart these mics
I'm built to last, my music can save your life
(I am built to Last, built to last, built to last
I am built to last, built to last, built to last
I am built to last built to last, built to last)
Was always known to throw a party from the night to the light
Wild Lyle cause he's always taking part in the fight
Now Lyle is only ripping apart these mics
I'm built to last, my music can save your life
(I am built to Last, built to last, built to last
I am built to last)
