[Intro]
Yeah
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

[Verse 1]
We’ve been deep in the trenches
Ain’t that friendship?
It’s not always roses
But everybody knows this
We stuck in this battlefield
I know just how you feel
Standing up for us, yeah
I’ma be a soldier

[Pre-Chorus]
You give me hope, hope
You give me strength, strength
I’d give you better than I could ever give myself (Yeah)
Always know that, that I got your back, back
Don’t matter wherever as long as we’re together
We’ve been through too much

[Chorus]
We’ve been through too much
Time for us to group up
Come on and let’s stand up now for us
This is our battle cry
(Hey, hey, hey)
Promise you that I’m certified
(Hey, hey, hey)
All we gotta do is stand up now for us
This is our battle cry

[Hook]
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey (yeah)
Hey, hey, hey
This is our battle cry

[Verse 2]
It’s so hard when the night falls
And I don’t get your phone calls
You’re everything to me
You heal me when these bullets go through me
And if I had to retreat
I know you’ll fall back with me
And if you got problems
You already know whose gonna solve them

[Pre-Chorus]
You give me hope, hope
You give me strength, strength
I’d give you better than I could ever give myself
Always know that, that I got your back, back
Don’t matter wherever because we’ll always be together

[Chorus]
We’ve been through too much
Time for us to group up
Come on and let’s stand up now for us (Standin’ up for us, yeah)
This is our battle cry
(Hey, hey, hey)
Promise you that I’m certified
(Hey, hey, hey)
All we gotta do is stand up now for us
This is our battle cry
[Bridge]
Hey, now it’s time to get focused (Focused)
I ain’t saying nothing, man
You already know this (You already know this)
So if hope floats, then flow this (Oh)
And if you need to swim, I’ma bring a boat, let’s boat this (Oh)
Now I don’t need to sound so monotonous (So monotonous)
If you need something from me
Call me, I got this (Call me, I got this)
And I don’t give you what you need from me
And I’ma be right there when I need to be

[Chorus]
We’ve been through too much (Yeah)
Time for us to group up (Come on)
Come on and let’s stand up now for us
As long as we’re together, we’ve been through too much…
This is our battle cry
(Hey, hey, hey)
Promise you that I’m certified
(Hey, hey, hey)
All we gotta do is stand up now for us (Standin’ up for us, yeah)

[Chorus]
We’ve been through too much
(Hey, hey, hey)
Time for us to group up
(Hey, hey, hey)
Come on and let’s stand up now for us (Standin’ up for us)
This is our battle cry
(Hey, hey, hey)
Promise you that I’m certified
(Hey, hey, hey)
All we gotta do is stand up now for us
This is our battle cry
[Outro]
Hey, hey, hey (This is our battle cry)
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
This is our battle cry
