[Intro] Mmm Same boat, different storms, y'all (Yeah) Look around [Verse 1] Grandma hummin’ in a church house pew Hands up high for the ones who flew Says “Baby, trust in the love, not them They’ll shake your hand then they’ll sell your skin” [Chorus] We’re all in the same boat, holdin’ on tight Patchin’ up the cracks in the middle of the night If they lied once, they gon’ lie again So it’s me and you Me and you against them (Yeah, me and you against them) [Verse 2] Rust on the truck and the rent past due Coffee in a cup with a chipped off blue Neighbor waves, says “Man, I know that pain Ain’t nobody comin’ in a suit to save this place” [Chorus] We’re all in the same boat, holdin’ on tight Patchin’ up the cracks in the middle of the night If they lied once, they gon’ lie again So it’s me and you Me and you against them (Just us, just us) [Verse 3] [Beat flips, rap groove drops] They sign checks, we sign scars They draw lines, we draw hearts They sell fear like it’s on sale We sell lunch just to make bail They big talk in a gold-plated room We big walk through a broke-ass June If truth got a price, they tax that too So I ride with the broke, that’s my whole damn crew (hey!) [Chorus] We’re all in the same boat, holdin’ on tight Patchin’ up the cracks in the middle of the night If they lied once, they gon’ lie again So it’s me and you Me and you against them [Verse 4] [Emo guitars slide in] Eyes on a screen, I can’t sleep at all Scrollin’ through the hurt, watchin’ empires fall I don’t trust the pretty faces on the evening show They don’t feel this ache in my heavy bones Heart like a house with a busted door Let the neighbors in when they hit the floor We trade our secrets for a little light If we don’t hold hands, then we won’t survive the night [Bridge] [Hardcore Rock, screamed backing] They say “Calm down” While the world burns slow We say “Right now” Gotta love these souls They write new rules On our busted backs We break those chains We don’t break, we snap back [Verse 5] [Murder rap section, dark and tense] Whispers in the alley, names on a list Paper in a briefcase, blood in the mist They eat well off the wars they start We get chalk lines, they get new art Tell me who’s the threat in a two-room shack Mom workin’ doubles, tryna keep on track They ghost our cries like it’s background sound So we turn that hurt to a battleground [Chorus] [Country-gospel fusion, big and bright] We’re all in the same boat, holdin’ on tight Patchin’ up the cracks in the middle of the night If they lied once, they gon’ lie again So it’s me and you Me and you against them Same boat, same waves, same thin rope We trade your hate for a little hope If they lied once, they gon’ lie again So it’s me and you Me and you against them (Just me and you) Me and you against them [Outro] [Choir rises, band pulls back] They got castles, we got songs They got power, we got swarms They got thrones that won’t defend But I got you And it’s me and you against them
