🎵 Title: From the Basement Intro Yeah… Started from the basement, now we building foundations. They talk, I grind… watch. Verse 1 My career’s in maintenance, I’m building my foundation, But patience running thin trying to rise from the basement. You keep running your mouth — that’s the fuel for my seed, Soon the whole world will know what you’re about, just wait and see. Keep spinning your tales, but the truth coming out, And I know I’ll be on top, yeah there ain’t no doubt. Better be a dreamer than a soul with no escape, I’m not letting you steal the food off my plate. All you haters trying hard just to keep me down, But I don’t see your name in lights around town. I may be young, but I’ve already paid my dues, Life experience and lessons — that’s the knowledge I use. Always work hard, stay humble and kind, Never crossing that edge, that fine line in my mind. Hook / Chorus Started in the basement with a dream and a plan, Now I’m building my future with these tools in my hands. They can talk all they want, they can doubt all they like, But the grind never stops when you chasing the light. From the bottom to the top, yeah the climb gonna show, All the sweat, all the struggle that they’ll never know. They were laughing at the start, now they watching me rise, From the basement to the stage — see the fire in my eyes. Verse 2 Long nights working while the city asleep, Got ambition in my chest and some promises to keep. Every scar, every bruise, every lesson I learned, Turn the pain into fuel every bridge that I burned. They said “slow down kid, better stay in your lane,” But I’m chasing every goal while they chasing the fame. See I’m building something real, brick by brick every day, While the haters throw shade, I just pave my own way. From the bottom of the ladder now I’m climbing each rung, Got the heart of a lion and the mind of the young. And the ones who doubted loud when I started this route, Be the same ones asking what success is about. Hook / Chorus Started in the basement with a dream and a plan, Now I’m building my future with these tools in my hands. They can talk all they want, they can doubt all they like, But the grind never stops when you chasing the light. From the bottom to the top, yeah the climb gonna show, All the sweat, all the struggle that they’ll never know. They were laughing at the start, now they watching me rise, From the basement to the stage — see the fire in my eyes. Outro Yeah… They talked while I worked. They doubted while I built. From the basement to the world. Just watch.
