Intro – Spoken, soft beat behind it]
It’s crazy how the smallest moments turn into memories you’d die to relive…
This one’s for my little bro.
Marshall… you gave me the best times of my life.

[Hook]
We was just kids playin’ ball in the street
Laughin’ so hard we could barely breathe
Bike rides, late nights, games on the ice
Man, those were the best times of my life
From the mud to the light, we held on tight
You was right there always by my side
No matter where this life takes me tonight
You’ll always be the best part of my life
⸻
[Verse 1]
Remember when we built that ramp in the yard?
You wiped out hard but got up like a star
Tears in your eyes, but you ain’t run
You just said, “Let’s try again”—man, that’s real love
Stick in your hands, puck at your feet
Even back then you moved like a beast
I used to brag, “That’s my brother out there”
Youngest on the team but they ain’t even care
You had dreams bigger than this small town
Had the whole squad sayin’, “He gon’ make it out”
And through all that, you stayed real
Ain’t changed for nothin’, that’s how love feel

We was just kids playin’ ball in the street
Laughin’ so hard we could barely breathe
Bike rides, late nights, games on the ice
Man, those were the best times of my life
From the mud to the light, we held on tight
You was right there always by my side
No matter where this life takes me tonight
You’ll always be the best part of my life

[Verse 2]
Sleepin’ on couches, sharin’ the same bed
I’d stay up late just protectin’ your head
Taught you to throw hands, not to fold under pressure
And every little moment made the bond grow better
Halloween nights, we was hood legends
Hit every house like it was a mission
Came home, dumped the candy, traded like kings
Those were the days, man—we had everything
It ain’t about money or what we ain’t had
It’s the laughs, the fights, the love from Dad
It’s the way we’d talk ’til the sun came up
Two brothers, one life, that’s more than enough

[Hook – stripped back with layered vocals]
We was just kids playin’ ball in the street
Laughin’ so hard we could barely breathe
Bike rides, late nights, games on the ice
Man, those were the best times of my life
From the mud to the light, we held on tight
You was right there always by my side
No matter where this life takes me tonight
You’ll always be the best part of my life

[Outro – Spoken]
I don’t care how old we get…
I’ll always look back and thank God I had you by my side.
You gave me the best times of my life, Marshall.
Still do.
