[Verse 1] You said keep it simple, keep your word when it gets tight I learned to count the quiet wins and make the long days right Corner store receipt folded in my jacket from the rain Told my brother, “Give it time,” then we went and made a lane No borrowed shine, just every promise that we kept One more shift, one more call, one more move we had to step When the plan got thin, we didn’t fold or play pretend I was there before the start, I’ll be there at the end [Chorus] Same way we started, same way we ride Head held steady with the whole team beside No switch when it’s heavy, no break in the code We stay on our word wherever we go Same way we started, still ten toes down Built this from the bottom, now they know us around No switch when it’s heavy, no break in the code We stay on our word wherever we go [Verse 2] You remember that old room, fan turning slow Two chairs, one table, big plans in a row Mama called twice, said, “Don’t forget who you are” I wrote that on a notepad and kept it in the car Every small check went back into the work Every closed door taught us what the next one was worth Now the same ones who doubted wanna talk like we’re friends I just nod, keep it moving, let the record make amends [Chorus] Same way we started, same way we ride Head held steady with the whole team beside No switch when it’s heavy, no break in the code We stay on our word wherever we go Same way we started, still ten toes down Built this from the bottom, now they know us around No switch when it’s heavy, no break in the code We stay on our word wherever we go [Outro] Same way we started Same word, same heart Still here, still solid Right back at the start
