Intro

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

Verse 1

It started in like 99 I was under the impression
I was the bottom line/ flow’s a picture of perfection
Plus I spoke with no discretion/ want to be that indy indy
Colt 45 Beer Henny Alize up in me/
I listened to the vision/ I heard the fucking 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 writers block/ I’m just sitting here zoning
Picturing my performance/ I’m larger than life/
while the crowds get enormous/ when I’m part of the mic

Hook

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

Verse 2

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 yelling that shit is sweet
Black dudes be like 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 couple songs/ they should be booming in your jeeps
But you probably never heard’em muthafuckers too cheap
Once heard that my lyrics too steep
But I should get love all over the damn place
That’s good I’m in search of a fan base
