Still Husain

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Husain kept a notebook by the kitchen door, Plans in the margins, hopes on the floor. Early bus rides, late shifts through the week, He learned every lesson, kept his aim sleek. First little order came in on a Tuesday, He called his sister: “We’re on our way.” One careful step, then another in line, He made a small chance grow over time. [Pre-Chorus] No shortcut, no lucky ticket in his hand, Just a steady heart and a thoughtful plan. When the numbers climbed, he stayed the same— Made room at the table, remembered each name. [Chorus] Husain made a million, but he’s still Husain, Same kind eyes when the whole room calls his name. From a pocket full of change to a future he could see, He built it brick by brick, then shared the key. Husain made a million, let the good news ring, Bought his mother time and his friends a chance to sing. Big dreams, open doors, and a little more to give— That’s the kind of rich that makes a life worth living. [Verse 2] He signed his first lease with a borrowed pen, Turned a quiet storefront into work for ten. Kept the lights on when the first month ran slow, Asked good questions, let good people grow. Soon the old block had new jobs to fill, A repaired-up park and a seat on the hill. At home, Sunday dinner still ran past nine, His mother said, “Eat,” and he fell right in line. [Pre-Chorus] No shortcut, no lucky ticket in his hand, Just a steady heart and a thoughtful plan. When the numbers climbed, he stayed the same— Made room at the table, remembered each name. [Chorus] Husain made a million, but he’s still Husain, Same kind eyes when the whole room calls his name. From a pocket full of change to a future he could see, He built it brick by brick, then shared the key. Husain made a million, let the good news ring, Bought his mother time and his friends a chance to sing. Big dreams, open doors, and a little more to give— That’s the kind of rich that makes a life worth living. [Bridge] He said, “A number’s just a number on a page; What matters is the help you leave behind your name.” So he funded one more course, one more start, And kept that first small notebook close to his heart. [Final Chorus] Husain made a million, but he’s still Husain, Same kind eyes when the whole room calls his name. From a pocket full of change to a future he could see, He built it brick by brick, then shared the key. Husain made a million, let the good news ring, Bought his mother time and his friends a chance to sing. Big dreams, open doors, and a little more to give— That’s the kind of rich that makes a life worth living. [Outro] Still Husain, still showing up, Still making sure there’s room enough.
