[Intro] [Violin Solo] [Verse 1] Einstein saw the universe different through his eyes, Mandela turned a prison cell into a symbol of the fight, Muhammad Ali talked like thunder, moved like lightning, Michael Jackson moonwalked and made the whole world silent. Bob Marley put a message in a melody and smoke, Tupac turned his pain into a language for the broke, Steve Jobs saw tomorrow while they laughed at what he'd say, Michael Jordan made impossible look ordinary every day. Serena broke the ceiling, made the record books bend, Kobe had that Mamba fire — never let the hunger end, Nelson left a legacy that time could never erase, Some people don't just leave history… They become the page. [Hook] Here's to the greats, The ones who changed the game, The ones who left a mark That outlived their name. Dead or alive, Their spirit still remains, You can bury the body, But you can't bury greatness. Here's to the greats… Yeah, here's to the greats. [Verse 2] Leonardo painted beauty centuries ahead of his time, Shakespeare gave the world a thousand different lives, Newton looked at gravity and asked the universe why, Rosa Parks sat down and helped an era rise. Aretha had a voice that could shake a soul awake, James Brown put the funk inside the bones of every break, Bruce Lee showed the world that discipline was strength, Pelé made a football field feel like an open stage. Maya Angelou turned survival into poetry and grace, Martin Luther King put a dream in a nation's face, Steve Biko gave a generation courage to believe, And every great who came before us left a reason to achieve. [Hook] Here's to the greats, The ones who changed the game, The ones who left a mark That outlived their name. Dead or alive, Their spirit still remains, You can bury the body, But you can't bury greatness. Here's to the greats… Yeah, here's to the greats. [Verse 3] And this ain't just a list, it's a reminder for the living, Greatness isn't something given, it's the work that you keep giving. Some conquered nations, some conquered their own fear, Some changed the world in silence, nobody knew they were here. From scientists to artists, from the athletes to the kings, From the voices in the streets to the minds that changed things, Different roads, different stories, different battles, different names, But they all left something burning when they stepped out of the frame. So if my name disappears when my time comes to an end, Let the work speak louder than the places I have been. 'Cause a legend isn't someone who refuses to die… It's someone whose impact refuses to. [Final Hook] Here's to the greats, The ones who changed the game, The ones who left a mark That outlived their name. Dead or alive, Their spirit still remains, You can bury the body, But you can't bury greatness. Here's to the greats… Here's to the names… Here's to the ones Who made us who we are. [Outro] The body fades. The voice fades. The lights go down… But the legacy? Never. Here's to the greats.
