Lyrics
Verse 1
Can’t build high if the base ain’t strong
Gotta know where you’re from, where you truly belong
Every brick laid, every road that we paved
A story in the echoes of the choices we made
Roots run deep like a bassline groove
Can’t fake the steps, gotta learn how to move
Every elder, every lesson that they gave
Still echoes in my mind like a break that won’t fade
Pre-Chorus
Oh, don’t forget the hands that held you up
The love that shaped you when times got rough
No matter how far, no matter the heights
Respect your foundations, don’t lose the light
Chorus
Hold tight, never let go
Every beat in your chest, let it show
Stand firm when the winds start blowin’
Respect your past, keep your roots still growin’
Chorus
Hold tight, never let go
Every beat in your chest, let it show
Stand firm when the winds start blowin’
Respect your past, keep your roots still growin’
Verse 2
Fast life, tryna chase that dream
But the truth hits deep in the in-between
Every high-rise started from the ground
So don’t look down on the ones holdin’ you now
Told me patience builds a lasting name
A moment fades but respect remains
So I step with grace, honor the way
For the ones before me who paved the lane
Pre-Chorus
Oh, don’t forget the hands that held you up
The love that shaped you when times got rough
No matter how far, no matter the heights
Respect your foundations, don’t lose the light
Chorus
Hold tight, never let go
Every beat in your chest, let it show
Stand firm when the winds start blowin’
Respect your past, keep your roots still growin’
Chorus
Hold tight, never let go
Every beat in your chest, let it show
If the rhythm fades, if the lights go low
It’s the echoes of the past that will guide your soul
Can’t erase the steps that brought you here
So walk with pride, let ‘em see it clear
Outro
Foundations, solid ground
Ain’t no future if you tear it down
Let the bass run deep, let the story play
Respect where you came from, never look away
Chorus
Hold tight, never let go
Every beat in your chest, let it show
Foundations, solid ground
Ain’t no future if you tear it down
Let the bass run deep, let the story play
Respect where you came from, never look away
