Lyrics

Verse 1

You woke up to a world on fire,

Coffee’s bitter, truth’s a liar.

Dreams are cheap but rent is steep,

Promises don’t come with sleep.

Verse 2

Your boss says “grind,” your soul says “quit,”

The ladder’s cracked, the rungs don’t fit.

You count your hours, lose your years,

Trade your hope for unpaid tears.

[Pre-Chorus]

Are you gonna curse the dark, or strike a match tonight

Are you gonna run away, or stand and claim your right

[Chorus]

What you gonna do about it

Stand up tall or live in doubt

Stay locked in or break on out

Lay down low or raise your voice

This is the moment, MAKE YOUR CHOICE.

Verse 3

Politicians shake their hands,

While selling pieces of your land.

They talk in circles, dressed in ties,

But can’t look you square in the eyes.

Verse 4

The mirror shows a face you know,

Halfway fast, and halfway slow.

A thousand chances slipped away,

But you’re still breathing here today.

Verse 5

The road keeps asking where you’ve been,

Same old start, same old end.

Every fork looks just the same,

You curse the road, but not the game.

[Pre-Chorus]

Will you just keep talking, or let your actions shout

Will you keep on waiting, or finally break out

[Chorus]

What you gonna do about it

Stand up tall or live in doubt

Stay locked in or break on out

Lay down low or raise your voice

This is the moment, MAKE YOUR CHOICE.

Verse 6

Love keeps knocking on your door,

But you’re too tired to sweep the floor.

You play it safe, you lock it tight,

But wonder why it feels like night.

Verse 7

The preacher says your soul is lost,

The banker tallies up the cost.

One says faith, one says debt,

Both keep cashing in your sweat.

Verse 8

Friends all post their highlight reels,

But none show scars that never heal.

You scroll and scroll, and can’t look up,

Your soul’s half-empty, cracked old cup.

[Pre-Chorus]

Are you building castles, or burying your bones

Are you chasing voices, or finding your own

[Chorus]

What you gonna do about it

Stand up tall or live in doubt

Stay locked in or break on out

Lay down low or raise your voice

This is the moment, MAKE YOUR CHOICE.

[Bridge]

The fire don’t wait, the storm don’t pause,

The choice is yours, no grand applause.

You either swim or you will drown,

The answer’s yours to write down.

Verse 9

The past keeps whispering your name,

A different mask, the same old shame.

You hide the bruise, you smile instead,

But ghosts keep camping in your bed.

Verse 10

The clock keeps shouting, time won’t wait,

You’re riding shotgun with your fate.

The brakes are gone, the wheels still spin,

It’s do-or-die, or never begin.

[Pre-Chorus]

Will you bend to silence, or sing your rebel song

Will you walk the tightrope, or prove they were wrong

[Chorus]

What you gonna do about it

Stand up tall or live in doubt

Stay locked in or break on out

Lay down low or raise your voice

This is the moment, MAKE YOUR CHOICE.

Verse 11

The crowd keeps cheering for the fight,

But silence follows every night.

You swing at shadows, miss the truth,

But fighting blind just steals your youth.

Verse 12

So here we stand, the choice is clear,

No cavalry is coming near.

The line’s been drawn, the storm’s about,

Now the question’s what you’ll shout.

[Pre-Chorus]

Are you feeding demons, or starving them instead

Are you chasing futures, or clinging to what’s dead

[Chorus]

What you gonna do about it

Stand up tall or live in doubt

Stay locked in or break on out

Lay down low or raise your voice

This is the moment, MAKE YOUR CHOICE.

[Outro]

The echoes fade, the crowd is gone,

But the question lives when the lights turn on.

It’s carved in stone, no easy out,

What you gonna do about…
