[Verse 1]
Sun on the court, heat on the step
Fresh-cut grass and that red cup sweat
We move like a line when the block gets loud
Feet hit hard, make the whole street proud
Beanie in hand, no stress, just go
Bass in the chest and the rimshot close
Mama said, “Baby, keep your head up high”
So I wear that smile like a flag in the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
Lift it up
Hear that roll
One more time
Let it hold
Hands up high
Let it swing
All my people
Feel that thing
[Chorus]
We go up, up, up
When the sun stay long
We go up, up, up
Drumline strong
Hands in the air
Say it with me now
Up, up, up
We own this ground
[Verse 2]
Corner store cold with the ice on top
Kids on the curb, they don’t ever stop
Old heads nod when the beat goes by
Same old block with a brand-new sky
Green on the grill and the smoke drift slow
Laughs in the yard while the whole crew flow
No time for fear when the weekend calls
We were born for the bounce in the backline hall
[Pre-Chorus]
Lift it up
Hear that roll
One more time
Let it hold
Hands up high
Let it swing
All my people
Feel that thing
[Chorus]
We go up, up, up
When the sun stay long
We go up, up, up
Drumline strong
Hands in the air
Say it with me now
Up, up, up
We own this ground
[Bridge]
Clean cut, fresh wave
Now the whole block hears
Hold that note
Let it ring for years
Heart go boom
Then the crowd leans in
One last wave
Let the summer begin
[Chorus]
We go up, up, up
When the sun stay long
We go up, up, up
Drumline strong
Hands in the air
Say it with me now
Up, up, up
We own this ground
