Built to Last
Akrobatik

[Intro - Mr. Lif and live crowd]

When I say Akro, y'all say batik

Akro! batik! Akro batik!

When I say Akro, y'all say batik

Akro! batik! Akro batik!


[Verse 1]

Yo check this

These rappers come and they go

But I've been here the whole time letting motherfuckers know

This is longevity vs. brevity

You'll never be ready to meddle with my pedigree

I'm not impressed by Mr. Fresh Guy

Who's hot now - next year, working at Best Buy

This is Akrobatik, brother, why would you test I?

You leave with your chest fried - even the best tried

And lest I forget, pop rap is no threat

I'm a vet from the era of the purple cassette

And yo, no, I don't drive no fancy car

But where I've been, so, your whip will never get you that far

I'm known as an underground international star

You're the answer to a trivia question at the bar

You won't be around next year

But guarantee another Akrobatik gem will reappear

Because (I-I)


[Hook]

I'm built To last

I'm here to stay

I hold it down

Get out my fucking way

I'm built to last

Yeah, you're here today

But you're gone tomorrow

Get out my fucking way


[Scratchwork - DJ Reel Drama]

Cause I'm the type of nigga that's built to last

Built To Last

Cause Im the type of nigga that's

Built To Last


[Verse 2]

Little dudes handing their careers over like they lost bets

Ain't willing to put in the years to be a boss vet

Immovable object, Rock of Gibraltar

There's greatness running by you like you're blocking for Walter

Old Faithful, verbal shots bust your whole grapefruit

If Ak smells hate, troop? Then Black Hell Breaks Loose

Here's something new to peep and blast, niggas

For my 2092 jeep ass niggas

What you hear leaves the careers of mad toys dead

We ain't going nowhere, like Bad Boy said

Fresh since the 80s, in the 90s I was dope

Since 2000, I've been one of the most dependable to quote

Whether you know it or not, I've been blowing up spots, collecting victories

Rocked with y'all New York City to Italy

I strangle the track, and make the song squirm

Standing strong, firm - Built To Last for the long term, saying


[Hook]


[Scratchwork]


[Verse 3]

Ayo

I've returned from aortic dissection

To move hip-hop into a forward direction

So you can clear the orbit of this morbid perception

That hip-hop could forfeit border protection

Y'all forced it with this corporate affection

That's leaving fans absorbing nothing more than your sexin' and flexin'

If you ain't the authentic, then order my next shit

Sit down with it, learn a thing or two about the hectic eclectic

Electricity when I flex my ethnicity

It's no mystery when I bless the set vividly

That history is being made

In every Ak verse you hear, sincere homage to pioneers is being paid

I make the jams that the fans want to rush for

Akrobatik is the one-man Mt. Rushmore

Reason laid the dope drum track for me

To proceed with rap's greatest comeback story

Because I am


[Hook]
