[Intro – First Voice (deep baritone, calm)] (Spoken over low crowd murmur) Same team, same walls. Different rules. We took the circus signs down. This our town now. [Hook – Second & Third Voices] This our town now, we don’t do that clown talk, Keep the noise outside, let the game do the loud walk. This our town now, leave the drama at the door, If you ain’t ’bout the work, what you comin’ in here for? This our town now, let the scoreboard choose, We don’t chase that circus, we got too much to lose. [Verse 1 – First Voice (storyteller)] Yeah, I remember when the jokes ran wild, Whole town split like a custody file. Half on the bench with a side‑eye crew, Half by the fence tryna pick who’s “true.” Leaders quiet, grown folks lookin’ away, Everybody feel it but they still say “play.” Then we got tired of the same old script, Of the bench‑mob gossip and the power trip. Yeah we looked round, said, “That’s enough,” If we want real tough, gotta cut fake tough. So we set one rule, said it loud and clear: No clown talk on this team, keep that outta here. We ain’t perfect, but the standard changed, You could feel it in the air when the lines rearranged. Same town, same field, same chalk on the floor, But the circus packed up, they don’t run this no more. [Hook – Second & Third Voices] This our town now, we don’t do that clown talk, Keep the noise outside, let the game do the loud walk. This our town now, leave the drama at the door, If you ain’t ’bout the work, what you comin’ in here for? This our town now, let the scoreboard choose, We don’t chase that circus, we got too much to lose. [Verse 2 – Second Voice (gritty, assertive)] I told ’em, “Save that rumor for the parking lot, Out here, we talk jobs, not who’s hot.” You got a problem? Say it with a name, Say it to a face or don’t say it in this frame. We dapp up late, but we show up on time, We roast a lil’ bit, but we never cross the line. Look, I’m not naïve, I know the show still runs, There’s always one clown tryna chase fake suns. But in this town, we turned the volume down, Gave the mics to the workers, not the loudest sound. We talk roles up front, not in little cliques, We say what we mean, we don’t play those tricks. [Final Hook – All Voices] This our town now, we don’t do that clown talk, Keep the noise outside, let the game do the loud walk. This our town now, leave the drama at the door, If you ain’t ’bout the work, what you comin’ in here for? This our town now, let the scoreboard choose, We don’t chase that circus, we got too much to lose. (Short outro – First Voice, spoken) Same team, same walls. Different rules.
