[Verse 1] There’s a boy with scraggly golden hair Sunlight stuck in the knots he wears Blue eyes sharp like a summer sky Never backs down, never asks why He walks alone but he don’t look lost Kicks at gravel like it don’t cost Something in him hums real low Like he’s waiting for a spark to go ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Then the hallway shakes with a heavy step Big kid laugh, says “who’s next?” ⸻ [Chorus] Golden boy don’t turn around Feet stay planted to the ground Fists don’t fly ‘til they have to move But he’s got something left to prove ⸻ [Rap] Yeah, here we go, bell rings, crowd parts wide Big man swagger with a storm inside Pushing kids just to feel that weight Like the world owes him something straight Golden kid steps in, not loud, not fast Says “you don’t gotta do all that” Little shrug like he’s seen this show Like he knows how the ending goes Bulky fists, big swing, air cracks clean But the golden boy slips in between Tap, step, shift—he don’t even rage Just flips the script on the center stage Now it’s quiet, like the sound got pulled Big kid blinking like “wait… I’m full?” Not of anger, not of fight Just a weird kind of sudden light ⸻ [Verse 2] Golden boy just shakes his hand Says “you good? I don’t get mad” Blue eyes softer than before Like he’s seen this kind of war Big kid laughs, but it comes out wrong Like he’s been tough for way too long Something cracks, but not like before Like a lock on a rusted door ⸻ [Chorus] Golden boy don’t hold it down Just turns fights all the way around Fists don’t fly where he’s been through Sometimes strength is letting through ⸻ [Rap] Now it’s two of ‘em walking side by side Same old halls, but a different vibe Used to be fear when the footsteps came Now it’s jokes, now it’s calling names Golden hair in the midday sun Big kid laughing like he just won Not a fight, not a game, not a score Something better than before Talkin’ loud ‘bout nothing much Shoving shoulders, friendly touch If you saw ‘em you’d never guess How it started with a mess ⸻ [Bridge] Funny how a punch don’t land Turns a fist into a hand ⸻ [Chorus] Golden boy don’t turn away Finds a different kind of way Blue sky eyes, steady and true Made a friend where no one knew Golden boy don’t turn away Finds a different kind of way Blue sky eyes, steady and true Made a friend where no one knew…
