[Intro] Look. When all the noise dies down... When nobody's watching... What did you build? That's the question. [Verse 1] I don't need a room full of strangers saying my name I'd rather have my family proud of the man I became I'd rather build a future than pretend I made it Put my soul into the work and never let them fake it I've seen big talk disappear when the bills came due Seen a thousand empty promises dressed up as truth So I keep my circle honest and my intentions clear Put the people that I love above the things I fear I want a life with some meaning, not a picture of success I want the kind of freedom that can put a mind at rest I want every song I make to say something real Give a voice to the things that a hard heart feels [Pre Chorus] I wasn't handed every answer I had to find my way And every time the road got rough I got stronger from the strain [Chorus] I WAS BUILT TO LEAVE A LEGACY! Not just a name, but a reason to believe Something real that my family can hold Something worth more than silver and gold I'll put in the work, I'll stand by my word I'll keep moving forward when the road gets blurred I WAS BUILT TO LEAVE A LEGACY! And I'm giving this life everything in me! [Verse 2] I want my people laughing around a table someday Talking about the memories we made along the way I want the next generation to know they can choose That you can take a hard road and still refuse to lose I want open skies, long drives, fresh air in my lungs New places on the map and new songs left unsung I want to make a living doing what I believe And have enough left over for the people who need I don't need perfection, I just need to grow Keep a little more wisdom everywhere I go If I make it to the top, I won't forget the ground Because the ones who really love you never need a crown [Pre Chorus] I wasn't handed every answer I had to find my way And every time the road got rough I got stronger from the strain [Chorus] I WAS BUILT TO LEAVE A LEGACY! Not just a name, but a reason to believe Something real that my family can hold Something worth more than silver and gold I'll put in the work, I'll stand by my word I'll keep moving forward when the road gets blurred I WAS BUILT TO LEAVE A LEGACY! And I'm giving this life everything in me! [Bridge] If I have one song left, let it carry the truth Let it tell them that the dream is still alive in you If I have one chance left, let me use it to give Show the ones beside me how a full heart lives I don't need forever written in the sky I just need to know I truly gave this life a try [Final Chorus] I WAS BUILT TO LEAVE A LEGACY! A life with a purpose, a heart set free Something real that my family can hold Something worth more than silver and gold I'll put in the work, I'll stand by my word I'll keep moving forward when the road gets blurred I WAS BUILT TO LEAVE A LEGACY! AND I'M GIVING THIS LIFE EVERYTHING IN ME! [Outro] Make the music. Love your people. Earn your freedom. Leave something good behind. That's a life worth living.
