Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Streetlights flicker, we still runnin
Mom said “home by nine,” we still comin
Chain on the bike all squeak and slide
Skinned-up knees but we still got pride
Cut through yards, dogs bark, we laugh
Pockets full of rocks like that’s cash
Hit the corner store, split one bag of chips
Talkin big dreams with Kool-Aid lips
[Chorus]
Back before the ringtone, we just yelled your name
Knockin on the front door, “can you come and play?”
Drank from the hose, wiped our face on our shirt
Rode till the sun dropped, didn’t care ’bout dirt
Back before the ringtone, we were hard to find
You had to know my block, not just hit my line
Pages in my head, not inside a phone
Raised in that wild world, before the ringtone
[Verse 2]
Double-dutch ropes on the cracked-up ground
Boom box thumpin that one tape down
Pass the ball, “next game, I got five”
Winner stay on, that’s real life pride
Talk trash loud, then we’re cool in a sec
Deep talks sittin on a busted front step
We shared one slice, split four ways
Didn’t need much, just long-ass days
[Bridge]
No screenshots, just stories we kept
No online beef, just “say it with your chest”
If you weren’t there, you don’t know that sound
Of fifty kids runnin when the porch light’s loud (time to go!)
[Chorus]
Back before the ringtone, we just yelled your name
Knockin on the front door, “can you come and play?”
Drank from the hose, wiped our face on our shirt
Rode till the sun dropped, didn’t care ’bout dirt
Back before the ringtone, we were hard to find
You had to know my block, not just hit my line
Pages in my head, not inside a phone
Raised in that wild world, before the ringtone
