[Intro]
(Confident, deep and commanding.)
Yeah...
This ain't about money...
This ain't about fame...
It's about what you leave behind.
[Verse 1]
(Hard-hitting with a smooth, laid-back flow.)
They chase a dollar while their soul gets sold,
Hearts turn cold chasing silver and gold.
A suit don't make a man stand tall,
Character decides if you rise or fall.
Respect ain't earned by the things you own,
It's built through honor that's consistently shown.
Anybody can flex, anybody can shine,
But a real one leaves a legacy behind.
[Pre-Chorus]
(Steady build with confidence.)
When the smoke clears and the spotlight fades,
Only your character keeps your name.
[Chorus]
(Powerful, memorable and anthemic.)
Raise 'em right, don't raise 'em rich,
Stand on truth, never fold or switch.
Money fades but respect stays strong,
That's the reason your name lives on.
Leave love, leave strength, leave light,
That's how you know you raised 'em right.
[Verse 2]
(Confident with sharp delivery.)
Degrees mean nothing if your heart ain't clean,
Power means nothing if you're cold and mean.
Stand with the weak when nobody sees,
That's worth more than a hundred keys.
The world loves status, the world loves fame,
But kindness leaves a deeper name.
Hold your ground, never fake your soul,
That's the only way to stay in control.
[Pre-Chorus]
(Lift the energy naturally.)
The world remembers what you choose to give,
That's the only way your spirit lives.
[Chorus]
(Bigger and more commanding.)
Raise 'em right, don't raise 'em rich,
Stand on truth, never fold or switch.
Money fades but respect stays strong,
That's the reason your name lives on.
Leave love, leave strength, leave light,
That's how you know you raised 'em right.
[Verse 3]
(Most powerful with authority and emotion.)
Forget the labels, forget the fame,
Everybody bleeds exactly the same.
Stand with respect till your final breath,
That's the only thing that outlives death.
Build strong hearts, don't build pride,
That's real wealth nobody can buy.
When they speak your name years from tonight,
Let them say... "They raised 'em right."
[Bridge]
(Soulful, bold and emotional.)
Gold gets lost... fame grows old...
Character's worth more than diamonds and gold.
Leave this world better than when you arrived,
That's how your spirit stays alive.
[Final Chorus]
(Full energy with conviction.)
Raise 'em right, don't raise 'em rich,
Stand on truth, never fold or switch.
Money fades but respect stays strong,
That's the reason your name lives on.
Leave love, leave strength, leave light,
That's how you know you raised 'em right.
[Outro]
(Confident, reflective and lasting.)
Respect lasts.
Character remains.
Everything else... fades.
