[Verse 1] I just laid down my foundation, Dreams as high as the sky could be, A shiny new start, a prosperous part, All the hopes flowing free. But then I saw your shadow, Something lurking in the night, A fortress full of secrets, And now I'm caught in this fight. [Chorus] As long as you're here with me, Right in my backyard, bringing the heat, My plans are shaking, but I can’t retreat, As long as you're here with me. [Verse 2] I thought I had it all planned out, My world was gonna bloom, But now I'm scrambling, repairing, and damned, Facing my impending gloom. Your schemes, they're knocking on my door, Shells flying, sparks in the air, My home, it feels like a war zone, And I’m caught, unaware. [Chorus] As long as you're here with me, Right in my backyard, bringing the heat, My plans are shaking, but I can’t retreat, As long as you're here with me. [Bridge Jazz solo (instrumental break)] [Verse 3] I thought I'd grow, take over the land, But you were two steps ahead, Your strategy, it’s ruthless, And now my world is seeing red. My hope's rushing back, but it’s too late, You’ve secured your place, you’ve sealed my fate, Yet in this chaos, there's something sweet, In this war dance, we still meet. [Chorus] As long as you're here with me, Right in my backyard, bringing the heat, My plans are shaking, but I can’t retreat, As long as you're here with me. [Outro] So here's to the next time, Where I'll watch my back for you, For in this endless struggle, It’s all about who outsmarts who. As long as you're here with me, I'll remember this move, and one day outdo, In this endless dance of life, we’ll play anew, And our rivalry’s fire will always renew.
