[Intro] Yeah… From the bottom to the golden light. Pressure makes diamonds. Legends don't die. Major by the Way. This is the whole story. Listen! [Verse 1] From poor to rich, walked the road with nothing in my hand Faced the Pressure, stood tall, didn't break, didn't bend Two sides of my life — seen the dark, now I shine bright Golden statue standing here, proof we fought the fight Legends don't die, names live forever in the light Not just for me — Oaratwa achievement, we rise together high Two families one legacy, built on love and trust Every step we took, every mountain we must [Chorus] After life my story still gon' live on and on Gold on the red carpet, every dream is born From the struggle to the throne, we earned every single prize Major by the Way — look the legacy in my eyes! Pressure, pain, success, glory — all mine to claim Two families one legacy — never fade the name! [Verse 2] Camera flashes bright, statue shining gold so pure We turned the hardest nights into the greatest cure After life I leave a mark that never fades away Two sides of my life — hunger then the pay Legends don't die, we teach the youth to stand up tall From poor to rich, climbed the ladder, gave it my all Oaratwa achievement, side by side we win Two families one legacy, let the legacy begin! [Bridge] PRESSURE — made me sharp! LEGENDS DON'T DIE — heart and soul, never depart! FROM POOR TO RICH — earned it all, no handout! TWO FAMILIES ONE LEGACY — forever we stand out! [Chorus] After life my story still gon' live on and on Gold on the red carpet, every dream is born From the struggle to the throne, we earned every single prize Major by the Way — look the legacy in my eyes! Pressure, pain, success, glory — all mine to claim Two families one legacy — never fade the name! [Outro] Major by the Way. Legends don't die. Two families, one legacy. Forever.
