[Verse 1] I was born in the shadow of a legacy line, Raised to shake hands like the whole state was mine. Taught early on how a promise gets spun— Sunset deals made before the day’s begun. [Pre-Chorus] Every brick in this mansion knows the stories I don’t tell, Every whisper in the hallway leans a little on my spell. [Chorus] This is the house that power built— board by board and will by will. Every favor laid like stone, every oath a dollar bill. You can call it charm or call it skill— but look around, it stands here still. Yeah, this is the house that power built, and I learned how to stand still. [Verse 2] Folks talk about virtue like it’s tied to the land, But legacy’s a burden that you carry like a brand. You play your cards quiet; you talk real light— Build your kingdom slow, keep the spotlight bright. [Pre-Chorus] Every room has a secret, every portrait keeps its grin— And the trick to staying welcome is to never let ’em in. [Chorus] This is the house that power built— board by board and will by will. Every favor laid like stone, every oath a dollar bill. You can call it charm or call it skill— but look around, it stands here still. Yeah, this is the house that power built, and I learned how to stand still. [Bridge] Now the lights burn late and the stories run deep, But a man’s made stronger by the company he keeps. You want influence? You want vision? You want someone who can steer this ship? Well sugar… you don’t stay in this chair by accident. [Final Chorus] Welcome to the house that power built— where the walls still speak my name. Every favor, every secret, every win that fed the flame. You can stand outside and test my guilt, but this old home was never built to tilt. Yeah, this is the house that power built— and I’m the one it trusts to stand still.
