Built 2 Last

Lyrics

[Hook: Abstract Rude] This foundation we can't break up – Acey Just like Run DMC, we're tougher than leather Mikah 9 said "it's all love, it's gonna get better" We were built to last, what we do stays here forever [Verse 1: Aceyalone] Unh! Solid ground is so hard to come by One by one, I gotta see the other eye Every failure is another try, 'til we get it Stay wit' it, live wit' it, give it what ya' need Wild ghetto seeds grown up to take the lead I'm so glad that I got a purpose And I can see past the surface, I'm ready for service, yeah Hard to believe in coincidence I just deal with the confidence Decisions and the consequence I made a vow and I took a oath About growth, got integrity on what I wrote And that's a quote "It ain't where you're from, its where you're at" You heard that I'm from the place where they serve at, where the word at Good brother, you deserve that I won't waste my life force chasing some horse that's off course Ride steady and stay ready, built to last [Hook: Abstract Rude] This foundation we can't break up – Acey Just like Run DMC, we're tougher than leather Mikah 9 said "it's all love, it's gonna get better" We were built to last, what we do stays here forever This foundation we can't break up – Acey Just like Run DMC, we're tougher than leather Mikah 9 said "it's all love, it's gonna get better" We were built to last, what we do stays here forever [Verse 2: Myka 9] Constructive to the end, and productive with my friends I'm lucky just to live after the pain this life can give up – never We must win every endeavor, we begin by Laying down the framework of building from within my Trust is in my skin, like dust that's in the wind I thrust into a spin, then crush them evil men I'm disgusted with the djinn, I must then mend Back together as brethren and sistren, my own children To the last days, I'm building from the first days Revealing, what's appealing is love, not lust What I'm feeling is above her bust Really what's behind her make-up and face Beneath the flesh, there's a mind and a soul, a divine heart of gold Encrusted innocence, a special place That's justice from his imminence Since some people fake The math relating to the body as a temple for the whole human race [Hook: Abstract Rude] This foundation we can't break up – Acey Just like Run DMC, we're tougher than leather Mikah 9 said "it's all love, it's gonna get better" We were built to last, what we do stays here forever [Verse 3: Abstract Rude] As revealed, these events unraveled Follow me through a series of time travel Eve and Adam's apple breed a spirit battle Which leads to power struggle and ultimate Tower Babel Commotion! Dynamic explosion from the dynamite's charge Just like dominos fall, crashed the palace Just like Samson crushed the Philistine walls And from that day on, we've been established Through corrosion, still the limestone carvings Show us how they evolved with black magic Circa B.C., but what's after A.D. has got us all hanging in the balance And right in your backyard, they fight and they train hard To claim their own landmark – the anarchists Fanatical patriots, defenders of Habeas Corpus when facing the law and order [Hook: Abstract Rude] This foundation we can't break up – Acey Just like Run DMC, we're tougher than leather Mikah 9 said "it's all love, it's gonna get better" We were built to last, what we do stays here forever This foundation we can't break up – Acey Just like Run DMC, we're tougher than leather Mikah 9 said "it's all love, it's gonna get better" We were built to last, what we do stays here forever [Outro: DJ Drez scratches]
