Ok
Yeah
Check out how I do it. (Let em know)
I was born to be in this spot
So many want my failure, but I'm here. Like it or not. (Or not)
I posted up on that block (That block)
And hustled round the clock (Clock)
They really gon hate it when I drop. (Phenom quit playin with em)
They tried to take me out the game, but I thrive under that pressure
They strugglin just to slow me down. I got skills that they can't measure
Rain, hail, sleet, or snow you know I'll make it through any weather
Get used to hearin Phenom. I'm gon be around forever
With these rhymes I put to this rap shit. Classic
Damaging the beat. Smash it. Tragic
Slowin haters down. Massive traffic
Can't compete with me. That's it!
Challenge me all you wanna. I come prepared and won't stop
My endurance is my insurance when I head to the top, sayin
You want it, come and try me (Try me)
Ain't too hard to find me (Find me)
I'm standing here with my team right beside me (Right beside me)
Aye we here now (We here now)
Stay on the hustle (Gotta hustle man)
Makin it look easy while you struggle (Struggle
I was built to last (I was built to last)
You want it, come and try me (Try me)
Ain't too hard to find me (Find me)
I'm standing here with my team right beside me (Right beside me)
Aye we here now (We here now)
Stay on the hustle (Gotta hustle man)
Makin it look easy while you struggle (Struggle
I was built to last (I was built to last)
I was made for longevity
My rhymes improve steadily (Yeah)
Get in the booth, hit it heavily
Compared to me you ain't left no impression, see (Go)
Ain't no correcting me in this profession
Perfection's my weapon. Phe stay with that weaponry first of all
Secondly, never in second because
I'm the best no one's ahead of me (Damn)
Technically under me you are collectively
Nobody really is next to me testing me
Say it respectfully. I wouldn't step to me. Let it be
Cooking up hits you know I got the recipe (Yeah)
That's why haters are stressing me
Mad they can't flex on me. Not anymore (No not anymore)
I'm shattering ceilings, you stuck on the floor
So many before me came and went (Went)
But I live in this bitch like I paid the rent (Rent)
Up in the spot, deliver my thoughts
You lucky I have a place to vent. (Vent)
Rappers act rich but ain't made a cent (Cent)
Say they go hard but ain't made a dent (Dent)
I created a crater you haters and I was standing on the same cement, sayin
You want it, come and try me (Try me)
Ain't too hard to find me (Find me)
I'm standing here with my team right beside me (Right beside me)
Aye we here now (We here now)
Stay on the hustle (Gotta hustle man)
Makin it look easy while you struggle (Struggle
I was built to last (I was built to last)
You want it, come and try me (Try me)
Ain't too hard to find me (Find me)
I'm standing here with my team right beside me (Right beside me dog)
Aye we here now (We here now)
Stay on the hustle (Gotta hustle man)
Makin it look easy while you struggle (Struggle
I was built to last (I was built to last)
Aw shit!
Who let this nigga in the back with a bottle of the whoop-de-whoop?
Most of y'all niggas soupy poop
I get high like a nigga paratroop (Whooo)
I got bars for days, I set the weed ablaze
I'm Tryna get the paper, nigga fuck the praise
A nigga still ain't fazed, I'm tryna get some brain
And then paint her face, and I'm out the way
Off to a land so far away
Trees in my hand all time of day
Try me it'll be your last mistake
You better sit it down and go meditate (Yeah)
Fuck the fake, uplift the great
We change the state, and make it great
Gotta start each day with a wake and bake
Just so I can walk around with a straight face (Ugh)
Eliminate the hatin, blatant
With subliminal statement, payment
Or your slide will be vacant, patience
Isn't part of my trait list, face it
I be one of the greatest
I can tell you kinda find it hard to grasp (What)
But it doesn't really matter nigga, cause a nigga really steady built to last
You want it, come and try me (Try me)
Ain't too hard to find me (Find me)
I'm standing here with my team right beside me (Right beside me)
Aye we here now (We here now)
Stay on the hustle (Gotta hustle man)
Makin it look easy while you struggle (Struggle
I was built to last (I was built to last)
