Never needed a reason
Never blinded by gold
This appetite for treason
Is built in our bones
Built in our bones
Built in our bones
Yeah, I—I got a bird's eye view of the whole battle
Sensei: This a cage that you won't rattle
I run free—rare-breed—that you won't saddle
But you ain't dead, boy—you scared of your own shadow
It's built into the bone fragment
I'm attracted to the danger—I'm a known magnet
You're runnin on a treadmill—boy, you're so stagnant
I'm in my own orbit—I should get my own planet: It's so slanted
Yeah, I'm talking bout the playing field
I'm looking at you—it's apparent that you ain't as real
I got the sword and the shield—made of stainless steel
You better hope you made a will: Cause I came to kill
Blood’s building—it tastes so sweet: No surrender, no retreat
See death ‘fore I see defeat
Never been compared, cause nobody can compete
But that's why my name ringing in the street
Cause it’s built in my bones
Built in our bones
(Oh Oh Oh Oh, Built in our bones)
Built in our bones
(Oh Oh Oh Oh, Built in our bones)
Let's go
I got a lust for danger—dangerous
I fill it up with fury—furious, furious
Against all odds, up—among the gods
And so our people rose: And now we know
Never needed a reason
(Do it for the honor, yeah)
Never blinded by gold
(Money doesn't move me)
Appetite for treason
(It’s too hard)
It's built in our bones
Built in our bones
(Oh Oh Oh Oh, Built in our bones)
Built in our bones
(Oh Oh Oh Oh, Built in our bones)
