[INTRO — MJ | SOFT SINGING] Ooh… Before the names… Before the crowns… Before everybody knew who we were… It was just us. Yeah… Just us. ⸻ [XPOLLO X | LOW, SPOKEN-MELODIC] No Platinum. No empire. No titles worth mentioning. Just two brothers… Trying to make something out of nothing. Look… ⸻ [VERSE 1 — XPOLLO X | CINEMATIC RAP] I remember walking in when nobody knew the name, Wasn’t worried about a throne, I was learning the game. Royalty was young, We was building from the floor, Every problem that came knocking Put another lock on the door. I was security first, Standing guard for the vision, Didn’t know those little moments Would become our tradition. MJ had the blueprint, I was right there beside him, When the room started shaking, We ain’t run, we got tighter. Went from protecting the building To directing the moves, Had to learn when to speak, Had to learn when to prove. There were nights we disagreed, There were days we went cold, But you don’t know what a brother is Until both of you grow. I left. Came back. Had some things I had to learn. Eventually took the CEO seat When it was my turn. But before Platinum existed, Before X became a brand, I was standing with my brother Trying to build something that could stand. ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS — MJ | SINGING] We didn’t have it all… But we had each other. Every fall… Made us stronger. Through the pressure, Through the rain, You were there, I did the same. And I… I remember those days. ⸻ [CHORUS — MJ | BIG MELODIC VOCALS] We came from the ground together, Oh, we built it brick by brick. Didn’t know how far we’d make it, We just knew that we couldn’t quit. You had my back, I had yours, Even when we lost our way. Now look at everything we built From those old Royalty days. Ooh… We came up together. Yeah… We came up together. Different crowns now, Different names… But the blood never changed. ⸻ [VERSE 2 — XPOLLO X | RAP, BUILDING INTENSITY] Funny. People see Platinum now And think that’s where the story starts. Nah. They ain’t see them early rooms Where we was playing different parts. They ain’t see the conversations. They ain’t see the arguments. They ain’t see two brothers wondering If any of this would amount to shit. We made mistakes. Both of us. Had pride. Both of us. Had people come between things, Still survived. Both of us. That’s why when I built Platinum, I didn’t forget where I grew. Royalty gave me the foundation, But I had something new to do. That wasn’t betrayal. That was evolution. You gave your world its identity, I found my own solution. Now I’m Founder at the head, Got AETERNUM in my sight, But some of what made Xpollo X Was built beside you every night. So when they ask where I came from, I don’t rewrite the past. Before the Platinum, Before the records, Before they knew the name— Me and MJ were learning together How to turn pain into change. ⸻ [MJ | SHORT VOCAL RESPONSE] I remember. Every night. Every fight. Every dream. We didn’t know what it would become… But we believed. ⸻ [VERSE 3 — MJ | RHYTHMIC SING-RAP] Started with a vision, Had my brother at the gate. Both of us were young, Trying to understand the weight. Didn’t always say it, But I watched him getting stronger. Every setback made him sharper, Every season made him harder. Then the roles started changing, And the world started moving. Sometimes growth means letting someone Find the road that they’re choosing. So he left. Then he came back. Then he rose. That’s the story. From security to leadership, Now Platinum in his glory. And I got Royalty. He got Platinum. Tell me that ain’t crazy? From conversations in the beginning To the world knowing us lately. I don’t look at him and see competition. I see proof. Two brothers can take different roads And still remember their roots. ⸻ [CHORUS — MJ + XPOLLO BACKING VOCALS] MJ: We came from the ground together, Oh, we built it brick by brick. Didn’t know how far we’d make it, We just knew that we couldn’t quit. You had my back, I had yours, Even when we lost our way. Now look at everything we built From those old Royalty days. XPOLLO — BACKGROUND: From the ground… From the ground… Yeah, we really came from the ground… ⸻ [BRIDGE — XPOLLO X | EMOTIONAL SINGING] And maybe we ain’t the same men That we used to be. Maybe life took both of us Places we couldn’t see. But when I look at you, I still remember back then. Before Founder. Before CEO. Before the world called us anything. We were brothers first. Trying to survive. Trying to turn little dreams Into something alive. And if I had to walk that road again… I’d still want my brother by my side. ⸻ [MJ | HIGH, AIRY RESPONSE] By your side… Ooh… Through every change. Through every road. Through every name. I’m still here. ⸻ [FINAL VERSE — XPOLLO X | HARD RAP BUILD] Look at us now. Royalty standing. Platinum moving. [Outro]
