Yo, yo, yo
Built different, that's the vibe
I'm not like you, mukwai
Don't tell me patience when I'm running out of time
Yeah, yeah
Broda them dey tell me chill, take it slow
Say 'just be patient like we know'
Waiting years for life to come through
But my spirit tired, my soul confused
You comfortable with your pain and shame
Accepting loss, celebrating stain
But I'm built different, can't operate that way
Can't accept the suffering that you embrace today
You say 'wait like us, bro, we've been here long'
But being where you are don't feel like home
Your problems, your problems, they're your own
Don't project that patience on my throne
I got dreams, aspirations, visions clear
Time no dey wait for when you ready, hear?
So don't ask me settle, don't ask me stay
When my life's on fire, burning every day
I'm built different, different, different
Yeah, I'm built different, yeah
What you accept, I reject, I reject
I'm built different, can't be like you
I'm built different, different, different
Yeah, I'm built different, yeah
My answers come today, not tomorrow's fate
I'm built different, that's my way
Yes, I grateful for this life I got
But gratitude don't change the plot
Hustling hard but no gain to show
Dreams deferred while the years just go
You say 'be okay simply because I'm fine'
But your comfort ain't the same as mine
Your normal is boring, your normal is pain
Your normal is settling, accepting the chain
But I'm breaking free from that mentality
I refuse to live in your reality
Bitterness building, anger's rising high
When you watch your life and you don't know why
Time is moving and I'm moving too
But movement without change? That's not for who?
That's not for me, nah, I need it now
Need the transformation, need it somehow
Tomorrow got its own troubles waiting there
So I'm taking action, showing that I care
About my future, about my dreams
About breaking free from what it seems
I'm built different, different, different
Yeah, I'm built different, yeah
What you accept, I reject, I reject
I'm built different, can't be like you
I'm built different, different, different
Yeah, I'm built different, yeah
My answers come today, not tomorrow's fate
I'm built different, that's my way
Don't tell me settle when I'm made to rise
Don't tell me patience when my spirit cries
What's normal to you ain't normal to me
I'm breaking out, breaking free
Yo, yoh, ayy!
I'm built different, mukwai
You wouldn't understand this hunger
This fire burning deep inside
I'm built different, that's no lie
See this one, e no go wait forever!
My life got to change, and it's gotta be now
I'm done with the waiting, I'm done with the how
I need my answers written clear and plain
Need my breakthrough now, not later's refrain
You can stay comfortable in your zone
But I'm claiming mine, I'm taking the throne
I'm pushing harder, I'm moving faster
I'm chasing glory, I'm chasing the master
Of my destiny, of my fate
I refuse to sit here and capitulate
To the pressure of your perspective, nah
To the weight of your accepted path, yeah
I'm built different, and that's the truth
I'm built different since my youth
Different mindset, different drive
Different hunger to be alive
So don't ask me compromise my fire
Don't ask me lower my desire
I'm taking my answers right here, right now
And I'm gonna show you how
Yo, I'm built different, yeah
Different, different, different
I'm built different
What you accept, I don't accept
I'm built different, mukwai
Time don't wait, and neither do I
I'm built different, that's the vibe
Built different, ayy!
Yeah, yeah, built different
