Built 4 This
from Blue's Requiem · The Musical
[Verse 1]
They thought I'd fold
They thought I'd pack it up
(pause)
Worked my fingers down to the bone
Thought they could back me up—
into a corner
[Pre-Chorus]
But something they'll never understand
Is that I been through hell and back
So come at me with everything you have
and you'll seeeeeeee
[Hook]
I WAS BUILT FOR THIS
I been knocked down a thousand times
But-I'm-a phoenix, my home is the fire
I WAS BUILT FOR THIS
these feet can run for miles and miles
these hands can hold the line
I WAS BUILT FOR THIS
I was built for this
Yeah-I'm-a phoenix, my home is the fire
BUILT FOR THIS
[Verse 2]
They thought I'd break
They thought I'd close the book
(pause)
Bit my tongue until I drew blood
Thought they could shut-me-up—
buy my silence
[Pre-Chorus]
But something they'll never understand
Is that I been through hell and back
So come at me with everything you have
and you'll seeeeeeee
[Hook]
I WAS BUILT FOR THIS
I been knocked down a thousand times
But-I'm-a phoenix, my home is the fire
I WAS BUILT FOR THIS
these feet can run for miles and miles
these hands can hold the line
I WAS BUILT FOR THIS
I was built for this
Yeah-I'm-a phoenix, my home is the fire
BUILT FOR THIS
[Hook]
I WAS BUILT FOR THIS
I been knocked down a thousand times
But-I'm-a phoenix, my home is the fire
I WAS BUILT FOR THIS
these feet can run for miles and miles
these hands can hold the line
I WAS BUILT FOR THIS
I was built for this
Yeah-I'm-a phoenix, my home is the fire
BUILT FOR THIS
