[Verse 1]
I bet you thought about me, thought that I was gone
Guaranteed to doubt me, thought that I was done
Wanna see me lose it, you wanna see me fail
See, here I'm a winner and yes, I will prevail
All of you who told me, told me that I've changed
I tell you that I have, but I can't be the same
Seen so many places, livin' out my dreams
No matter what you say, I'm still me
[Chorus]
Oh, they pushed my back against the wall
Did everything to make me fall
But I'm still up and runnin'
Can't tell me I ain't built for this
Go 'head and close all the doors
Cause I'ma make it through them all
See, I'm still up and runnin'
Can't tell me I ain't built for this
[Verse 2]
I heard 'em say there's no way I'd ever make it
They counted me out when they thought I was fadin'
Tryna tell me that I wouldn't go far
And now, they smile when they see me, see my face on the TV, yeah
Cause I gave it all I had, I had to take control
I'm not supportin' cast, I got the starring role
And here I stand alone and I feel so free
No matter what I'm doin', I'm still me, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
(Still the same girl)
(In the same world that I'm livin' in, wishin' it was different)
Sometimes I just can't believe (Can't believe that)
That this is really happenin' to me
[Chorus]
Oh, they pushed my back against the wall (Oh, oh)
Did everything to make me fall (Against the wall)
But I'm still up and runnin' (Make me fall)
Can't tell me I ain't built for this (Built for this, yeah)
Go 'head and close all the doors (Close all the doors)
Cause I'ma make it through them all (Make it through them all)
See, I'm still up and runnin' (Yeah, yeah)
Can't tell me I ain't built for this
[Bridge]
Won't let nobody
Break me down (Down)
Cause I done came too far to let them
Stop me now (Stop me now)
Don't be scared to give your all (Lift up your voice)
Even when it seems like you're alone (No)
Don't give up (Oh)
You gotta keep pressin' on, yeah (On)
[Chorus]
Oh, they pushed my back against the wall
Did everything to make me fall (Oh, oh, woah, woah)
But I'm still up and runnin' (Woah, woah)
Can't tell me I ain't built for this (Built for this)
Go 'head and close all the doors (Woah, aye)
Cause I'ma make it through them all (Oh, oh)
See, I'm still up and runnin' (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Can't tell me I ain't built for this
[Outro]
Pushed my back against the wall
Did everything to make me
Make me fall, ooh
Still up and runnin', can't tell me nothin'
I'm built for this
Built for this
