Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I came in quiet, now the room know my name
Cold on the face, but I burn in the game
Mama said, "Boy, keep your head, keep your pace"
So I built this from scratch, not a thing was a phase

New shoes squeak when I step to the lane
Old doubts fall off like rain off a chain
I been on my grind while they sleep on the same
Now they talk real nice when they see what I came with

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need luck
I made my own spark
I learned how to move
When the world went dark

Hands up, don't blink
I'm already there
One look at me now
You can tell I don't care

[Chorus]
Glass on my wrist, yeah, I shine like this
Can't tell me nothin', I was built for this
Heart still beats, but I moved like a boss
If I want it, I go get it, that's the cost

Glass on my wrist, yeah, I shine like this
Can't tell me nothin', I was built for this
Say my name twice, make the whole room hiss
I been on my way, now I'm right like this

[Verse 2]
Late texts, long nights, I was up with the plan
Had to learn who was real, had to learn who can stand
Every loss left a mark, every mark left a hand
Pull me back when I lean, but I still take command

Now the cameras flash when I walk through the door
Used to count every step, now I'm counting some more
Every yes I was due, every no made me sore
So I turned all that pressure to a floor you can tour

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need luck
I made my own spark
I learned how to move
When the world went dark

Hands up, don't blink
I'm already there
One look at me now
You can tell I don't care

[Chorus]
Glass on my wrist, yeah, I shine like this
Can't tell me nothin', I was built for this
Heart still beats, but I moved like a boss
If I want it, I go get it, that's the cost

Glass on my wrist, yeah, I shine like this
Can't tell me nothin', I was built for this
Say my name twice, make the whole room hiss
I been on my way, now I'm right like this

[Bridge]
I took the long road, yeah, I took the heat
Still stood tall on my own two feet
If I fall once, I rise ten more
Tell me what you want, I been here before

[Chorus]
Glass on my wrist, yeah, I shine like this
Can't tell me nothin', I was built for this
Heart still beats, but I moved like a boss
If I want it, I go get it, that's the cost

Glass on my wrist, yeah, I shine like this
Can't tell me nothin', I was built for this
Say my name twice, make the whole room hiss
I been on my way, now I'm right like this
