[Intro]
O-H
I-O (yeah)
Scarlet on my back
And I’m ready for war
[Verse 1]
Horseshoe shaking on a cold night
Black stripes painted on my face like a war sign
Buzz cut, hoodie up, heart on the goal line
Every yard fought for like a gold mine
We came up grinding in the gray sky rain
Cornfield roads, weight room, pain
Red leaves fall, that’s Buckeye rain
Every chant in my chest like a freight train
[Chorus]
Buckeye blood
Running through my veins, I can’t slow up (nah)
Whole state loud, better show up
When we chant that O-H, they fold up
Buckeye blood
Fight to the whistle, we don’t back down
Scarlet wave crashing in your hometown
You can feel that roar from the whole crowd
[Verse 2]
Turf stains, cleats cut, cold breath steam
Tight chin strap, locked in with the team
Silver helmets looking like a battle scene
On the big stage, living out a kid dream
From the block O seats to the last yard line
Every first down feel it in your spine
They try to write us off, try to cross that sign
But the script in this state been the same each time
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to toms and chugs]
O-H (hey)
I-O (let’s go)
You hear that echo when the end zone glows
O-H
I-O
Whole ‘hood, whole fam, that’s the life we chose
[Chorus]
Buckeye blood
Running through my veins, I can’t slow up
Whole state loud, better show up
When we chant that O-H, they fold up
Buckeye blood
Fight to the whistle, we don’t back down
Scarlet wave crashing in your hometown
You can feel that roar from the whole crowd
