Built From the Basement

V5.5

I built it from the basement With my hands against the wall No money in the morning No promise it would stand at all My children grew up watching The lights begin to glow A father chasing something Only he could seem to know Verse 2 I greeted every family I learned their child’s name I saw the fear in parents Trying not to show the pain The birthday rooms, the laughter The meltdowns and the tries The child who found their courage Behind a headset on their eyes Chorus I did not build this for easy I did not build this for fame I built it for the families Who were tired of playing the same game I built it for my children I built it through the storm I built it from the ashes So something new could form Verse 3 We lost and we rebuilt it We moved and started again Survived the shutdown silence Survived the weight of when When will someone see this? When will the world believe? When will all this sacrifice Become what it should be? Chorus I did not build this for easy I did not build this for fame I built it for the families Who were tired of playing the same game I built it for the children Who needed room to try I built it for the quiet ones Who only needed time Bridge Ten years in the making A million steps unseen A thousand little moments Between the real and dream And now I’m done with hiding I’m standing in the light This is not the ending This is Friday night Final Chorus I did not build this for easy I did not build this for fame I built it for the future And I’m calling out its name MetaHus is rising XR meets AI Built from love and struggle Built because we tried
