SWBEATS @ SUNO • 2026 • 😎 I kept my mouth shut while you took the stage Watched you write your name across my page You mistook my patience for a quiet fear Thought I would just fade out and disappear I built the table where you sit and eat Now you look down at the dust upon my feet I don't need your trophies or your praise I walked through fire in my darkest days You only value what you think you own But I stand solid on the ground alone You cannot buy it with a pocket full of gold It's not a privilege that gets bought and sold Put some honesty behind the words you speak Respect is not a handout that I have to seek Look me in the eye when you call my name I'm not a pawn inside your crooked game You earn it in the dirt, you keep it in the fight Respect is how you walk when nobody's in sight A heavy crown is nothing but a show When you step on everybody down below You shake my hand and check your phone in vain Measure every person by the profit that you gain My father taught me how to hold the line And keep my word unbroken every single time I don't need your trophies or your praise I walked through fire in my darkest days You only value what you think you own But I stand solid on the ground alone You cannot buy it with a pocket full of gold It's not a privilege that gets bought and sold Put some honesty behind the words you speak Respect is not a handout that I have to seek Look me in the eye when you call my name I'm not a pawn inside your crooked game You earn it in the dirt, you keep it in the fight Respect is how you walk when nobody's in sight Take the title off the door Leave the keys upon the floor Strip away the noise and pride Tell me what is left inside If your word is hollow when the lights go dim You lose the only battle that you had to win You cannot buy it with a pocket full of gold It's not a privilege that gets bought and sold Put some honesty behind the words you speak Respect is not a handout that I have to seek Look me in the eye when you call my name I'm not a pawn inside your crooked game You earn it in the dirt, you keep it in the fight Respect is how you walk when nobody's in sight Look me in the eye Keep your word unbroken That is how you earn it
