[Intro] Red cups on the counter Bad ideas in the air Same crew from the jump, though Yeah, they still right here (right here) [Verse 1] Back when we were dumb, we were legends in our heads Throwin' up in rides, fallin' asleep in the shed Borrowed fake IDs, spent the rent instead Tellin' every little L, "we gon’ win it back in red" (spin it) Skippin' all the classes, but we never skipped each other You were swingin' first when I got jumped behind the gutter Mama say I'm lost, you say, "Boy, you my brother" If I crash this life, you the seatbelt on the rubber (skrrt) [Chorus] My friends had my back when I had nothin' Young and wild, always out here buggin' Up, down, we was ridin' through the crash and the cash Now we toast from the past to the fam that we have (yeah) My friends had my back, that's the real flex Turned our little bad bets to a real check From the late-night fights to the baby seats strapped Through the ups, through the downs, you were right where I'm at (right there) [Verse 2] You remember that night, lights flash, we ran You took the heat for me, I was shakin' in the van Judge gave you time, I just gave you my plans Said, "When you get free, we gon’ really be the man" (both of us) Years flew, now the chaos got a schedule Same dude that ditched school help my kid with his decimals We still crack jokes 'bout the things that were regrettable Only diff' now, all the bottles at a festival (hands up) Baby on my hip, wifey dancin' by the stage You bring your new girl, she like, "Y'all were this crazed?" We laugh 'cause the scars turned stories with age But the love stayed the same through every single phase [Chorus] [Bridge] From the floor of that tiny apartment To the front yard grill and the carpets We were broke, now we split mortgages and targets Same squad, just upgraded the parties (woah) Kids asleep, and we still get loud Talkin' 'bout the stupid, sayin' we so proud 'Cause we made it out, but we still that crowd That'll pull up at 2 if you call right now (ring) [Chorus]

rap, Bouncy club rap with polished low-end and bright synth leads; verses ride a swaggering pocket that flips between nostalgia and flex, hook explodes with chanty group vocals and call‑and‑response ad‑libs. Big, roomy drums, percussive bass, and crowd “hey”s push the party energy while a melodic bridge softens for the family moment before snapping back into the chorus.
