[Intro | 95 BPM | Funk-rock groove] (Clean guitar + slap bass) Mama said, “Son, take your time, breathe slow, Life ain’t a race, it’s a tightrope show. You’ll get hurt, you’ll fall, then grow, But keep your soul clean, boy, let it glow.” [Verse 1 | 95 BPM | Pop-Rap half-spoken delivery] Came up fast where the love runs thin, Chasin’ that gold, tryna cash that win. She said, “The richest ones don’t flex, they grin, Peace in your chest beats ice on skin.” [Pre-Chorus | 95 → 100 BPM | Lush R&B tone] Slow down, yeah, let it ride, All that you need is locked inside. Don’t trade your truth for dollar signs, The sky still shines when you close your eyes. [Chorus | 105 BPM | Trap-pop hook | Bm – G – D – A] Be a real one, stay true in the rain, Simple don’t mean plain, it means sane. Build your joy, don’t chase the fame, All I want, son—remember your name. [Verse 2 | 95 BPM | Melodic rap / R&B crossover] Met a woman, heart like dawn, Showed me love when my hope was gone. Mama said, “Boy, that’s where you belong, Love’s the verse in your lifelong song.” [Bridge | 100 BPM | Afro-Caribbean × Trap fusion | Em – Bm – D – C] I don’t need no diamond chain, My worth’s in truth, not in pain. Simple man, yeah, I still remain, With roots that dance in the pouring rain. [Final Chorus | 105 BPM | Layered harmonies + trap bounce] Be a real one, stay true in the rain, Simple don’t mean plain, it means sane. Live your joy, don’t chase the fame, All I want, son—remember your name. *(Echoed outro: “Remember your name… your name…”)
