[Verse 2]

Freshman year, first week, hallway like a runway

Everybody’s brand-new, everybody’s got something to prove

One rumor hits and it spreads like smoke in the lunch line

A logo turns “wrong,” and overnight it’s out of style

I had the clean pair, saved up, felt proud in them

Next day they’re dead weight, tossed like a bad decision

Then a new sound drops—whole crowd shifts their uniforms

Colors, symbols, slogans—meaning I didn’t understand

Me and my friends copied it like it was armor

Wore it loud, wore it wrong, thinking we were in the club

Didn’t clock the side-eyes, didn’t read the room at all

Till somebody checked me: “That isn’t yours—don’t play tough”

Back in a basement later, we talked like we were experts

Acting bitter, acting brave, blaming everyone but us

Truth is we were scared kids, trying to borrow a banner

Just to feel like we belonged for a minute in the noise

Same year, first breakup—heart like a car with no brakes

I tried to flex with words, tried to win by being cruel

I said something reckless, aiming wide instead of honest

And I learned the hard way: a mouth can stain a whole room

So I’m saying it clean now: I was wrong to generalize

No label makes a person, no shade makes you less real

If I ever made someone feel smaller for a cheap laugh—

I regret it. I’m sorry. I should’ve known better then.

[Chorus]

Come walk with me, back down that bright old road

Another turn, another scene, another lesson I was owed

Take a look with me at the place that raised my skin and bones

That little corner I once called “home”

Yeah, come walk with me, back down that bright old road

Same streets, different eyes, same weight I had to hold

Take a look with me at the place that raised my skin and bones

That little corner I once called “home”

[Outro]

Get out. I’m done arguing—just go.

I don’t want this in my house.

Leave. Now.

Out.
