[Intro — extended instrumental, ~15-20 seconds] (layered acoustic and electric guitar with a slow-building orchestral bed establish the mood before either voice enters) (Voice A) I planted deep, I planted right (Voice B) And look at us now, out of your sight [Verse 1] (Voice A, proud, storytelling) I built the charter, I set the frame Bred a habit, not just a name No king to answer, no leash to hold Just good ground, and a story told [Pre-Chorus] (both voices, building anticipation) You want to know if it was worth the wait Let the record set it straight [Chorus] (both voices, big hook, bookended on the title, orchestral-and-guitar swell) Raised right, raised right One good seed, one dynasty tonight Thirty-two of thirty-six years Bred to lead, born to steer Raised right, raised right [Verse 2] (Voice B, confident, bragging) Washington rode it, Jefferson wrote it down Madison built it, Monroe wore the crown Adams stood alone up north We came out four, and proved our worth [Pre-Chorus] (both voices, building anticipation) You want to know if it was worth the wait Let the record set it straight [Chorus] (both voices, big hook, bookended on the title, orchestral-and-guitar swell) Raised right, raised right One good seed, one dynasty tonight Thirty-two of thirty-six years Bred to lead, born to steer Raised right, raised right [Verse 3] (both voices, trading lines) (A) I gave you soil with no old root (B) We gave you men who took the boot (A) I gave the charter, the corporate frame (B) We gave the nation four good names [Bridge — signature moment one] (both voices, pulled back to strings and acoustic guitar, close two-part harmony, quieter and more sincere) Every seed forgets the ground it came from Every harvest forgets the hand that begun it But the roots don't lie, and the record don't fade One good charter, and look what it made Four good names carved in one long day Bred right, built right, here to stay [Instrumental Break — extended, signature moment two, ~20-25 seconds] (acoustic and electric guitar trade extended, unhurried atmospheric phrases through a full call-and-response cycle, mirroring the two voices, then lock together and build to full orchestral volume) [Pre-Chorus reprise] (both voices, brief, building into the key change) One more time, let the record play [Final Chorus — key change up a whole step] (both voices, fullest, biggest, group vocal ad-libs) Raised right, raised right One good seed, one dynasty tonight Thirty-two of thirty-six years A hundred fifty years, and we're still here Raised right, raised right [Final Chorus repeat — full orchestral arrangement, stacked harmonies and ad-libs] (both voices, at the new modulated key, biggest version of the song) Raised right, raised right One good seed, one dynasty tonight Thirty-two of thirty-six years A hundred fifty years, and we're still here Raised right, raised right [Outro — extended fade, ~15-20 seconds] (both voices ad-libbing over a fading groove, guitars trading final licks as the mix fades out) Raised right (yeah) Raised right Raised right (mmm) Raised right
