[Verse 1]
Posters peeling from my bedroom wall
You taught me how to fall
Then stand up tall
Now I’m lacing up
You’re on the side of the stage
Heartbeat kicking like it’s locked in a cage
[Pre-Chorus]
You ask
“Kid
You ready to run?”
I say
“Watch me outshine the sun”
We’re both laughing at how scared I am
You tap the snare like
“Prove it then”
[Chorus]
Keep up if you can
I’m chasing you
Hand in hand
You lit the spark
I’m feeding the flame
We’re writing our names in the same loud frame
Side by side
That’s the plan
So keep up if you can
If I rise
You rise again
Shared blood in the ink of the legends
[Verse 2]
Mic smells like sweat and cheap perfume
You yell my name from the wings of the room
“Take that fill
Kid
Steal the show”
I miss a hit
Then I hit it in a row
[Pre-Chorus]
You flick a stick
It lands at my feet
“You want my throne? Then match this beat”
Your grin says “fight” but your eyes say “stay”
Two paths crossing on the same highway
[Chorus]
Keep up if you can
I’m chasing you
Hand in hand
You lit the spark
I’m feeding the flame
We’re writing our names in the same loud frame
Side by side
That’s the plan
So keep up if you can
If I rise
You rise again
Shared blood in the ink of the legends
[Bridge]
[Drum Battle – call and response between kits
Crowd claps in the gaps]
(Male) Count it in
I’ll crash your crown
(Female) I’ll cut you off then double it down
(Male) Left hand flying
Right on the edge
(Female) I carve my promise into every head
(Both) Not your shadow
Not your fan
Your reflection
Your next best plan
[Chorus]
Keep up if you can
We’re racing
But we both win
Damn
You set the bar
I’m raising it high
Our echoes tangled in the same war cry
Side by side
That’s the plan
So keep up if you can
If I lead
You’ll understand
This is our forever
Our shared loud stand
[Outro]
(Both) Keep up if you can
If you can
(Crowd) Keep up
Keep up
(Both) From bedroom walls to the mainstage slam
Same heart
Two hands
Keep up if you can
