Dual Foundation

[Verse 1]
The scent of Bay Rum, sharp on the air, where old men spun their fables
Next breath, polished oak, a million-dollar deal on the boardroom tables.
My roots run deep where the clippers hum, a legacy built from brick and sweat,
Now these branches stretch for the sun, no blueprint could forget.

[Chorus]
I speak two tongues, build two worlds, from the block to the bank vault,
From cracked plaster to the new high-rise, my foundation won't halt.

[Verse 2]
They talk EBITDA while the café con leche memory still brews,
My mind’s a shifting blueprint, absorbing all the different views.
From domino clicks to a contract sign, the scaffolding of my thought aligns,
Translating struggle to success, past struggles in these new designs.

[Bridge]
Learned from abuelo's steady hand, how to shore up failing walls,
Now I construct my own empire, answering corporate calls.
It's the weight of memory, the beauty of unseen work,
From the barbershop's wisdom, my highest ambitions lurk.

[Outro]
Yeah, a twin architecture in my soul, watching both worlds unfold.
