LYRICS
Adrenaline’s in my melanin
Greatness, I’m the evidence
They fear my intelligence
400 years I inherited
I ain’t your suspect, nah
Or another one upset, nah
I ain’t get cuffed yet
But you know that don’t mean I ain’t up next
Mahogany browns
Black onyx we are bound
The inventor of swag
Coolest of cool
We wear the crown
We make everything relevant
We taking it where it never been
If we in the room
Then the black man is the elephant
Cause we are built different
We built different
Said we are built different
We built different
My people are built different
We built different
Make the whole world stop and listen
My people built different
(Aaahhh ahhhahhh ahhha)
Skin tone of the pharaohs
I know his eye’s on the sparrow
Blood, bone to the marrow
The strength came in the battles
The blacker the berry
The sweeter the juice
The backs of my people
Were beaten and bruised
Beautiful black and brown
Look how we act and now
Throw out the Barbie and throw in the barbecue
Watch how we pack it out
Like that all Negro spiritual
I have a dream
Every day we’ve been giving yeah
We trying to be free
Cause we are built different
We built different
Said we are built different
We built different
My people are built different
We built different
Make the whole world stop and listen
My people built different
Time is now!
Say it loud!
Yeah we’ve had enough!
Count us out!
Knock us down!
We keep rising up!
Head wraps, cornrows
Afros, braids
Wave caps, dreadlocks
Hair weaves, fades
Ain’t nothing that we can’t do
Turn them into believers
Turn chains into pieces
We can turn pain to achievements
Time is now, say it loud!
Count us out, knock us down!
My people (we keep rising up)
My people (we keep rising up)
Make the whole world stop and listen
My people built different!
I am not your problem
I’m not your martyr for the riot
I’m not your trophy
I’m not the voice that you can silence
I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth
I was born in a grave and clawed my way out
I want my respect
Time is now
Say it loud
My people built DIFFERENT!
