Blue Runs Deep (Mavs)

[Verse 1 – Spoken over slow guitar & beat]
I’ve loved, I’ve lost, I’ve fought and bled,
Got scars that still burn and dreams I fed.
Been broke, been loud, been quiet in pain,
Watched good men rise and fade in shame.
And somewhere in all that life I’ve lived...
There’s a jersey. Number 77. Hung up like it still gives.
[Verse 2 – Melodic]
He gave us hope, he gave us fire,
He gave us reason to still admire.
But the suits in the sky played a different game,
Now we’re empty handed... and he ain’t to blame.
It ain’t on Luka. It ain’t on AD.
He’s a beast in the paint — respect, honestly.
But this wound was carved by a smiling face,
Nicko Harrison...
This city ain’t your place.
[Chorus – Chant style]
We bleed blue, we don’t fold,
We ride ‘til the lights go cold.
It ain’t just sport — it’s soul and sweat,
And we ain’t forgot what legends meant.
So tell the front office: take that blow...
And hand it straight to Nico.
[Verse 3 – Acoustic melody returns]
Man, I’ve buried brothers, I’ve raised my kids,
I’ve cursed the rain and thanked what gives.
I don’t ask for much — just some truth,
And the kind of loyalty that built this roof.
But you let Luka go like it don’t mean a thing,
Like 40-point nights ain’t worth a ring.
We ain’t mad at Davis, he’s real, he’s tough...
But Dallas deserved more than a shrug.
[Chorus – Bigger now, anthem style]
We bleed blue, we stand tall,
We cheer in June or not at all.
From Dirk’s fadeaway to Cuban’s pride,
This ain’t a bandwagon — it’s a lifetime ride.
We ain’t askin’, we already know —
It’s time. Fire Nico.
[Bridge – Spoken, quiet intensity]
You can trade players.
You can shift the brand.
But you don’t trade a city’s heart...
And expect it to understand.
[Final Chorus – Let it ring out slow and proud]
We bleed blue, that ain’t fake,
This love was built through every ache.
You can break our lineup, raise the cost...
But you can’t replace what we just lost.
This ain’t hate — this is a man’s demand:
Give us a team...
That respects the fans.
[Outro – Whispered over fading chords]
Blue runs deep.
77 forever.
But now...
We start over.
