Like My Blood

[Intro]
Day ones
Came up from the same mud
Same jokes
Same scars that we both shrug (yeah)
[Verse 1]
We were kids trading chips at the bus stop
Hand-me-down shoes, same flip-flop
You took blame when I slipped up
I covered you when they switched up
Shared one screen, one headset
One dream, no plan yet
If I fall, you fall, that’s a mindset
If they call, we pull up in a instant
[Chorus]
You’re like my blood, like my blood, not the same name
But you’re family in my veins, you’re my main flame
If the world turns cold, you’re my warm place
I don’t even gotta ask, you’re at my doorframe
You’re like my blood, like my blood, not the same home
But you feel like my roots, like my backbone
If they come for you, then they came for me
‘Cause my heart says “us”
Never “you” or “me” (yeah)
[Verse 2]
You seen every bad cut that I bandaged
Heard secrets that could wreck my chances
You talk wild, but you talk honest
Clown me, then you ride like a promise
We fight hard, come back in a week
Side-eye, then we laugh till we wheeze
You know every wrong number I texted
Every L that I turned to a lesson (ayy)
[Chorus]
You’re like my blood, like my blood, not the same name
But you’re family in my veins, you’re my main flame
If the world turns cold, you’re my warm place
I don’t even gotta ask, you’re at my doorframe
You’re like my blood, like my blood, not the same street
But you feel like my base, like my heartbeat
If they come for you, then they came for me
‘Cause my heart says “us”
Never “you” or “me” (let’s go)
[Bridge]
Who picked up when my phone felt heavy? (you did)
Who stayed close when the room got empty? (you did)
Who said “breathe” when my lungs got tight?
“Stand up, we gon’ be alright” (we gon’ be alright)
If I got one call from the edge
I’m dialing your name, that’s a reflex (yeah)
We don’t gotta share blood or a bed
Just a lifetime of “I got your back”
[Chorus]
You’re like my blood, like my blood, not the same name
But you’re family in my veins, you’re my main flame
If the world turns cold, you’re my warm place
I don’t even gotta ask, you’re at my doorframe
You’re like my blood, like my blood, through the worst days
Yeah, we built this from the dirt, from the earthquakes
If they come for you, then they came for me
‘Cause my heart says “us”
Never “you” or “me” (ohhh)
‘Cause my heart says “us”
Never “you” or “me”
