Lyrics
[Intro] Back in the day, we were running the streets
Kicks hit the concrete, heartbeat to the heat
Laugh in the morning, we cried by the night
Blood thicker than trouble, you and me tight
[Verse 1] Used to trade secrets on the block by the store
Trust built strong, we never kept score
Shoulders to lean when the storm ran rough
Never let go when life got tough
You turned faded dreams into gold in my mind
Packed side by side, couldn't leave you behind
Every setback, you threw me a rope
We carried each other, the reason for hope
[Chorus] Back in the day, we used to be tight
Friends till the end, ride or die
You had my back, picked up the slack
Hyped each other up, back to back
[Verse 2] Remember that time he broke your heart?
Stood in the wreckage, tore the pain apart
You leaned in, tears fell on my shirt
Swore on the streets I'd never see you hurt
Stacked up plans just to keep your head high
Promised revenge for every tear you cried
We were a force, made our way through the dirt
Your voice in my ear, "we survive, we work"
[Chorus] Back in the day, we used to be tight
Friends till the end, ride or die
You had my back, picked up the slack
Hyped each other up, back [Verse 2] Guess you're blind cuz you didn't see
The way I changed when you spoke to me
When we been chillin', I know we're just friends
But when I hold you close, it all makes sense
My heart hits different, skips a bomb ass beat
I just want you home underneath my sheets [Hook]
