after school fight

we step out, sun low, shadows in the hall, Backpacks heavy, but our pride’s ten feet tall, Whispers in the crowd, got the tension in the air, Caught a glimpse of my rival, I can feel the stare Heart racin’ like a Lambo, feet glued to the ground, Schoolyard warriors, man, we know how to throw down, Adrenaline pumpin’, ain't no backin’ out now, Fists clenched tight, it’s a showdown, take a bow. Friends circle 'round, yeah, they hype up the scene, Words like daggers, got me feelin' like a king, But deep down, know this ain't the way to be, Just a moment of heat, but it’s more than it seems. One swing, two swings, got the crowd in a roar, But when the dust settles, what we really fightin' for? Lessons in the chaos, scars tell the tale, After school fights, but we gotta prevail.
