Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Two names on the box score
One house, one busted screen
You got Mom's old jumper
I got Dad's mean routine
Blacktop behind the middle school
Dust on our Converse sides
You called me "little brother"
I said, "Watch me on this drive"
[Pre-Chorus]
We fought for every rebound
Every crowd call, every cheer
Your jaw set like a fencepost
Mine shook with all that fear
And Dad would spit his lectures
Like they were stone and steel
Said, "One of you is worth it"
We both tried not to feel
[Chorus]
Same hoop, same house
Same hurt, same ground
We were breaking each other
Now we turn around
Same blood, same fight
Same town, same night
You and me, brother
We can learn to be right
[Verse 2]
You took Maya to the dance
I walked home with June
I saw you by the soda stand
Tryna act too cool
We kept our secrets folded
Inside our hoodie sleeves
But in the back of the hallway
You covered me from Zeke
[Pre-Chorus]
You said, "She likes your laughing"
I said, "Her eyes don't lie"
We both got scared of losing
So we kept our pride
Then Dad slammed down his anger
At the edge of our game
And every word he threw at us
Hit us both the same
[Chorus]
Same hoop, same house
Same hurt, same ground
We were breaking each other
Now we turn around
Same blood, same fight
Same town, same night
You and me, brother
We can learn to be right
[Bridge]
[Half-time]
At the kitchen table
No one said a word
His hands were made of thunder
His love was never heard
You looked across the checkered cloth
I looked up at you
And for the first time in my life
I knew what brothers do
[Chorus]
Same hoop, same house
Same hurt, same ground
We were breaking each other
Now we turn around
Same blood, same fight
Same town, same night
You and me, brother
We can learn to be right
[Outro]
On the cracked school blacktop
We leave the old score behind
Same hoop, same house
But you’re on my side

Style
Indie-pop rock with midtempo stomp, palm-muted guitar verses, snare-driven pre-chorus lift, and a big singalong chorus; verse stays close-mic and tense, pre-chorus opens with stacked harmonies, chorus hits with wide drums and gang vocals on the anchor phrase. Ear candy includes sneaker squeaks, reversed cymbal swells into the chorus, and a brief halftime bridge with handclaps. Bright, punchy, and emotionally raw mix.
