Backyard Revolt

[Verse 1]
Late rent
Ashtray full of plans I never spent
Mom callin’ my phone about “what’s your career?”
I’m staring at the ceiling like “it ain’t here”
Scuffed Chucks
Basement full of half-wired luck
Posters on the wall peeling off in defeat
Still I’m yelling at the mirror, “get back on your feet”
[Chorus]
This is my backyard revolt
Hand-me-down dreams and a cracked-ass soul
If the world says “stop,” I bolt
I bolt, I bolt
Shouting out loud till my lungs get hoarse
Skank in the rain, let it change the course
When the doubt gets loud, I don’t
I don’t, I don’t (nah)
This is my backyard revolt
[Verse 2]
I was that kid in the last-row desk
Head full of cartoons, heart in my chest
Teacher said “speak slower, that’s too fast”
Now I tongue-tie time, watch the clock run past
Yeah, I pivot every limit that they stick in my lane
They wanna label every cable in my jittery brain
But I’m a glitch in the script, I’m the flip in the frame
Put the blame in a frame, then I set it aflame (hey!)
[Chorus]
This is my backyard revolt
Hand-me-down dreams and a cracked-ass soul
If the world says “stop,” I bolt
I bolt, I bolt
Shouting out loud till my lungs get hoarse
Skank in the rain, let it change the course
When the doubt gets loud, I don’t
I don’t, I don’t
This is my backyard revolt
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to toms and bass, warped vocal chops looping “re-volt”]
Fast talk, slow thoughts, brain on bend
Who gets to say where my story ends?
Line after line, I outrun that fear
I’m the rumor they were scared to hear (yeah)
[Chorus]
This is my backyard revolt
Hand-me-down dreams and a cracked-ass soul
If the world says “stop,” I bolt
I bolt, I bolt (run!)
Shouting out loud till my lungs get hoarse
Skank in the rain, let it change the course
When the doubt gets loud, I don’t
I don’t, I don’t
This is my backyard revolt

rap, Hyperactive pop-punk ska mash with skanking offbeat guitars, gritty picked bass, and busy live drums. Verses flip to speed-rap over halftime snare stutters; choruses explode with shout-along gang vocals and bright horn stabs. Male vocals, raw and animated, glide between melodic hooks and double-time bars. Bridge gets experimental with warped vocal chops, tom-heavy build, then a final, slammed-last-chorus outro., male vocals, ska, pop punk, experimental
