Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Used to ride four deep in a car with a donut tire
Twenty in my pocket
thought we owned the whole empire
Skipping every class
chasing every bad idea
Mama blowing up my phone
I’d turn it off, disappear
We were young
talking big like we knew the math
Couldn’t see the future
only what was in the glass
You pulled me from a fight
shirt ripped, bloody lip
Said, "You got too much to lose"
I just laughed and took a sip
[Chorus]
But you had my back
when I had no sense
When the world felt cold
you were my defense
From the late-night calls
to the long fall down
From the kids we were
to the ones now around
Yeah, we messed up bad
still you never ran
Now there’s little hands
holding on to mine again
Through the ups, the downs
every wrong, every right
You had my back
and you still hold tight
[Verse 2]
Now it’s diapers on the couch
toys under my feet
Alarm clock screaming
I’m still half asleep
But I see my kid smile
and the whole room flips
All those reckless nights
feel like distant clips
I remember when the cops
had us lined on the curb
You took the charge on a thing
I ain’t even deserve
Said, "If one of us goes
then we both gonna learn"
Now we sit at the grill
watch the burgers burn
Talking ‘bout mortgages
health plans, credit scores
Same crew, new shoes
same heart at the core
You still look at me and say
"Yo, I’m proud you changed"
I say, "You saw that in me
before I knew my own name"
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
We were broke, but we still broke bread
Now we pray over meals instead
Same jokes, but the stakes got high
Little faces watching every move we try
You were there when I almost gave in
When the job fell through, when I lost that friend
Now you’re uncle to my kids
I’m godparent to yours
We built something solid
out of cracked old floors
[Chorus]

Style
rap, Warm boom-bap with subtle trap swing; dusty piano loop and laid-back drums, bass gliding under a storytelling flow. Verses start intimate and conversational, then stack ad-libs and doubles on key phrases. Hook opens up with big gang-vocal chants and simple, anthemic melody, plus subtle choir pads to lift the “family” moments. Male vocals, steady head-nod groove throughout.

Prompt
Write me a rap song about your friends having your back and about the ups and downs. Being young a stupid and messing up to having a family now.
