[Intro]
Backpacks, cracked phones
Shoes by the door, untied
Group chat blowing
It’s another wild ride
[Verse 1]
Late start, cold toast in his mouth
Racing out, mom yelling from the couch
Bus stop shade, talk big, laugh loud
Same old block, still feels like a crowd
Headphones on, whole world in a playlist
Dreams in his notes app, scared he might waste it
Act tough, heart soft, that’s the day plan
Front like he’s grown, still a kid when he can
[Chorus]
Boys in motion, running on faith
Skinned-up knees and a heart that aches
Acting okay when it all feels strange
This is how boys live, this is how boys live
Laugh too hard, then they hide their tears
Talk like kings, fight their quiet fears
Growing up fast through the hits and cheers
This is how boys live, this is how boys live
[Verse 2]
Lunchroom noise, cap low in the corner
Scroll past wins, feel a little smaller
Coach says “push,” he jokes “I’m tired”
But he wants that shot more than he’s admired
Text her “what’s up,” then deletes it twice
Swears he’s smooth, heart rolling the dice
Says “I’m good” when it’s heavy in his chest
Pressure on his back, still talking like he’s blessed
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
They brag, they bluff
But they care too much
High fives, sore minds
Still they stand back up
From broken rules to late-night drives
They’re just trying to get it right
[Chorus]
