I'm built this way

Hook:
I built this empire, brick by brick
You tried to tear it down, a selfish trick
But I’m resilient, I’ll rise above
‘Cause I was built this way, with love
Verse 1:
From the underground, to the charts so high
I climbed the ladder, reached for the sky
You thought you could dim my light, a foolish sight
But I’m burning brighter, shining so bright
Verse 2:
The words you spew, poison in the air
But I’ll weather the storm, without a care
You’re lost in the darkness, a fading star
While I continue to soar, leaving you afar
Hook:
I built this empire, brick by brick
You tried to tear it down, a selfish trick
But I’m resilient, I’ll rise above
‘Cause I was built this way, with love
