[Intro]
[soft breaths, finger snaps]
Six hearts
Same house
Same last name
Same dream, baby
[Verse 1: Egypt (lead vocals)]
You been on my mind since last Friday
Saw you at the game in my driveway tee
I was posted with my brothers in the backseat
But the only one I saw was you watching me
[Verse 2: Jalen]
I stay quiet, I just play my part
Act tough, but you got past my guard
Told my brothers I’m good, I’m straight
But they know when I blush, I can’t lie that way
[Verse 3: Cairo]
You like late talks on the front porch swing
We share secrets that we never tell a thing
You say you scared I’ll change when the lights hit
Girl, I promise I’m the same when the mic quits
[Chorus: All, lead Egypt]
We just brothers in the backseat
Singing to the girl in the front of our dreams
Every note, every heartbeat
Got us praying you’ll be riding with the team
We ain’t perfect, we just learning how to love
Six voices, but it’s you I’m thinking of
Brothers in the backseat
Hope you open up the door for me
[Verse 4: Rio (rap + group ad-libs)]
Yeah
We was sharing the same pair of headphones
Now I’m tryna share last names in my phone (Rio!)
From the driveway hoops to the late-night calls
You the one I wanna text when my world feels small
Ma say “focus on your grades,” yeah, I’m tryna
But when you say my name, I rewind it
Whole crew in the kitchen, they clown me
Till you walk in, then they harmonize around me (ohh)
[Verse 5: Zaire]
You know all my brothers by their first names
You laugh when we crack the same jokes, same way
You said, “Zaire, I like how you stay low-key”
Girl, I’d sing out loud if you asked for me
[Verse 6: Osiris]
You caught me writing your name in my notebook
Heard you humming one of our slow hooks
If you ever feel lost, you can call us
But if you just want one, girl, you got Osiris
[Chorus]
[Bridge: All, a cappella]
[whispered] Egypt… Jalen… Cairo… Rio… Zaire… Osiris…
Six brothers, one song, one truth
If you fall, we all fall with you
If you cry, then we cry too
If you love me, you love my crew
[Crescendo – keys and drums return]
[Chorus]
[Outro: All, ad-libs Egypt & Rio]
Brothers in the backseat
Still singing in the driveway light
Brothers in the backseat
Girl, you riding with us tonight
