Lyrics
Beneath the Chains
[Intro]
Stone underfoot
Torch smoke in the air
Hear the doors cry open
---
[Verse 1]
Welcome to the Gauntlet
I step in with a gold bruise glow
Armored up in a slow-motion stare
Every eye fixed
Every breath held low
Sand in my teeth
Salt on my tongue
Crowns on the line where the shadows run
Steel in the rafters
Drums in the ground
I came for the roar
Let it shake this town
---
[Chorus]
Welcome to the Gauntlet
Welcome to the Gauntlet
Hands up high when the horns come calling
Welcome to the Gauntlet
Welcome to the Gauntlet
One more step and the whole world’s watching
---
[Bridge]
Roll those drums
Let the floor split wide
I don’t flinch when the dark comes alive
---
[Chorus]
Welcome to the Gauntlet
Welcome to the Gauntlet
Hands up high when the horns come calling
Welcome to the Gauntlet
Welcome to the Gauntlet
One more step and the whole world’s watching
---
[Verse 2]
Step through the fire, I don’t flinch, I don’t fold
Ash on my skin, but the core stays cold
Eyes locked in, no drift, no doubt
Pressure builds, but I’m built to hold out
Gravel in my stance, chains in my grip
Every scar earned, every line don’t slip
Silence before it, then everything breaks
No crown given, every inch I take
Weight of the moment, I carry it still
No luck here, only iron will
When the dust rise, and the weak fall back
I stand alone where the strong collapse
---
[Final Chorus – Elevated]
Welcome to the Gauntlet
Welcome to the Gauntlet
Stand your ground when the horns come calling
Welcome to the Gauntlet
Welcome to the Gauntlet
No way out when the fire keeps falling
Hands up high—let the whole world watch
No second chance when you cross that line
Welcome to the Gauntlet
You either break… or you prove you’re mine
---
[Outro]
Discipline… isn’t learned.
It’s lived.
Stone underfoot
Torch smoke in the air
Hear the doors cry open
---
[Verse 1]
Welcome to the Gauntlet
I step in with a gold bruise glow
Armored up in a slow-motion stare
Every eye fixed
Every breath held low
Sand in my teeth
Salt on my tongue
Crowns on the line where the shadows run
Steel in the rafters
Drums in the ground
I came for the roar
Let it shake this town
---
[Chorus]
Welcome to the Gauntlet
Welcome to the Gauntlet
Hands up high when the horns come calling
Welcome to the Gauntlet
Welcome to the Gauntlet
One more step and the whole world’s watching
---
[Bridge]
Roll those drums
Let the floor split wide
I don’t flinch when the dark comes alive
---
[Chorus]
Welcome to the Gauntlet
Welcome to the Gauntlet
Hands up high when the horns come calling
Welcome to the Gauntlet
Welcome to the Gauntlet
One more step and the whole world’s watching
---
[Verse 2]
Step through the fire, I don’t flinch, I don’t fold
Ash on my skin, but the core stays cold
Eyes locked in, no drift, no doubt
Pressure builds, but I’m built to hold out
Gravel in my stance, chains in my grip
Every scar earned, every line don’t slip
Silence before it, then everything breaks
No crown given, every inch I take
Weight of the moment, I carry it still
No luck here, only iron will
When the dust rise, and the weak fall back
I stand alone where the strong collapse
---
[Final Chorus – Elevated]
Welcome to the Gauntlet
Welcome to the Gauntlet
Stand your ground when the horns come calling
Welcome to the Gauntlet
Welcome to the Gauntlet
No way out when the fire keeps falling
Hands up high—let the whole world watch
No second chance when you cross that line
Welcome to the Gauntlet
You either break… or you prove you’re mine
---
[Outro]
Discipline… isn’t learned.
It’s lived.
[Intro]
(Cold... spoken)
You came here looking for comfort...
Comfort never built anyone.
[Verse 1]
Pressure has a language
Most people never learn
They spend their whole lives running
While watching every bridge they burned
The fire never hated me
It only burned away the lie
The person that I thought I was
Was never built to survive
Stone remembers every footprint
Chains remember every pull
Every excuse sounds important...
Until your hands are full
The dark will ask you questions
Nobody else can hear
And every honest answer
Costs another layer of fear
[Hook]
Carved by pressure
Forged by pain
Every scar
Carries my name
I didn't break...
I became
This isn't fitness...
This is life.
[Verse 2]
The world keeps selling comfort
Like comfort has a crown
But comfort never built the people
History remembers now
The mirror doesn't flatter
It never takes your side
It simply shows the distance
Between your words and your life
Some people chase applause
Some people chase a throne
I learned the hardest victories
Are won when you're alone
No crowd...
No spotlight...
No shortcut...
Just another decision
To keep becoming
Who yesterday couldn't.
[Hook]
Carved by pressure
Forged by pain
Every scar
Carries my name
I didn't break...
I became
This isn't fitness...
This is life.
[Verse 3]
One day they'll call it discipline...
They'll never see the nights.
The shaking hands.
The empty room.
The battles no one likes.
They'll never hear the silence
Before another choice is made
Or understand how greatness
Is quietly engraved
Pressure was never punishment.
It was preparation.
The fire wasn't waiting to destroy me.
It was waiting to reveal me.
And every step I took
Across these black stone floors
Was another promise
That I'd never become
The person I was before.
[Final Hook]
Carved by pressure
Built to remain
The fire took everything...
Except my name.
This isn't fitness...
This is life.
This is accountability.
This is sacrifice.
This is discipline.
This...
Is earned.
(Cold... spoken)
You came here looking for comfort...
Comfort never built anyone.
[Verse 1]
Pressure has a language
Most people never learn

It only burned away the lie

Chains remember every pull
Every excuse sounds important...
Until your hands are full
The dark will ask you questions
Nobody else can hear
And every honest answer
Costs another layer of fear

[Intro]
Ash fall.
Steel cold.
Boots scrape the stone.
The fire never asks who’s ready.
[Verse 1]
Chains drag low through the rain outside
Black smoke rise where the weak ones hide
Hands split open, pressure inside
Still no sound when the pain collide
Built in silence
Scar by scar
Every loss left marks like war
Cold eyes locked on the flame
No crowd here remembers names
[Chorus]
I
Challenge
I
Stand in the fire
Hold the line
Pressure reveal what’s buried inside
I
Challenge
I
No savior coming
No place to run
The Gauntlet choose who become
[Bridge]
Hear the drums roll under the floor
Stone walls shake from the pressure roar
One breath left
Still demand more
No escape
No retreat
Discipline march on repeat
[Chorus]
I
Challenge
I
Stand in the fire
Hold the line
Pressure reveal what’s buried inside
I
Challenge
I
No savior coming
No place to run
The Gauntlet choose who become
[Verse 2]
Thunder crack through the temple gate
Some break down when the load get weight
Some stay still when the world turn hate
Bloodline built from the reps unseen
Sweat drip black where the kings once bleed
Every scar carved deep with meaning
This not luck
This earned stone
Built to survive when left alone
[Final Chorus — Elevated]
I
Challenge
I
Raise the fire
Break the sky
Let the weak fall off in the climb
I
Challenge
I
Born through pressure
Forged through pain
The Gauntlet live inside the veins
I
Challenge
I
No applause
No release
Only discipline underneath
[Outro]
The fire stay lit.
Even when nobody watching.
Ash fall.
Steel cold.
Boots scrape the stone.
The fire never asks who’s ready.
[Verse 1]
Chains drag low through the rain outside
Black smoke rise where the weak ones hide
Hands split open, pressure inside
Still no sound when the pain collide
Built in silence
Scar by scar
Every loss left marks like war
Cold eyes locked on the flame
No crowd here remembers names
[Chorus]
I

Pressure reveal what’s buried inside

[Intro]
Ash fall slow
Chains drag low
Hear that fire
Deep below
Mirror stare
No disguise
Pressure show
What survives
[Verse 1]
Stone floor cold
Boots move steady
The weak talk loud
The strong stay ready
Rain hit steel
Fire still burn
Every scar
Was something earned
No soft path
No easy crown
You face yourself
Or break down
The Gauntlet lives
Inside the soul
Discipline decide
Who takes control
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold that line
Don’t look away
Pressure build
What fear can’t shake
One deep breath
One more scar
The war inside
Creates who you are
[Chorus]
Stand in the fire
Stand through the rain
Pressure built me
Through every pain
i Challenge i
That’s the standard
The Gauntlet lives
Inside your answer
Stand your ground
Don’t retreat
Discipline turn
The weak to elite
[Verse 2]
Black smoke rise
Across those walls
Heavy silence
Inside these halls
No fake flex
No empty names
Only pressure
Only flames
Mirror talk
Truth cut deep
Nothing changes
If comfort lead
Every fall
Every loss
Built the strength
That pressure costs
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold that line
Don’t look away
Pressure build
What fear can’t shake
One deep breath
One more scar
The war inside
Creates who you are
[Chorus]
Stand in the fire
Stand through the rain
Pressure built me
Through every pain
i Challenge i
That’s the standard
The Gauntlet lives
Inside your answer
Stand your ground
Don’t retreat
Discipline turn
The weak to elite
[Verse 3]
Now the mirror
Look different here
No more doubt
No more fear
Life hit hard
But built resolve
Pressure came
To evolve
No one saving
No escape
The soul decide
The path you take
Conquer self
Then watch unfold
That’s how warriors
Turn pain to gold
[Bridge]
Hear those chains
Hear that sound
The weak get lost
The strong get found
Low brass cry
Fire rise
Discipline lives
Behind those eyes
[Final Chorus]
Stand in the fire
Stand through the rain
Pressure built me
Through every pain
i Challenge i
That’s the standard
The Gauntlet lives
Inside your answer
Stand your ground
Don’t retreat
Discipline turn
The weak to elite
[Outro]
Pressure reveals
Discipline remains
Welcome to The Gauntlet
Ash fall slow
Chains drag low
Hear that fire
Deep below
Mirror stare
No disguise
Pressure show
What survives

Stone floor cold

The strong stay ready
Rain hit steel
Fire still burn
Every scar

No soft path
No easy crown
You face yourself

[Outro]
Pressure reveals
Discipline remains
Welcome to The Gauntlet
[Verse 1]
Some nights feel longer than they should
Mind running circles through the dark
You smile for people when you can
But carry weight they never saw
Pressure got a way of showing truth
Stripping all the noise away
And somewhere in the middle of the silence
You decide who you gon’ be today
[Pre-Chorus]
No, I ain’t here to rescue you
No, life don’t move that way
But I know what it feels like
To carry something heavy every day
[Chorus]
When life gets heavy...
Stand anyway
When the world gets loud...
Breathe anyway
When your mind gets tired...
Rise anyway
You don’t gotta feel strong...
Just don’t walk away
[Verse 2]
I know what it means to feel exhausted
To stare at walls and question things
To wake up tired before the morning
Still somehow choosing discipline
Some days grace looks like surviving
Some days strength feels quiet too
And if nobody ever told you this...
You still got something left in you
[Bridge — calmer, emotionally grounded]
Slow down...
Take a breath...
You survived more than you remember
Heavy don’t mean broken
Pressure don’t mean finished
[Final Chorus]
When life gets heavy...
Stand anyway
When the world gets loud...
Breathe anyway
When your mind gets tired...
Rise anyway
You don’t gotta feel strong...
Just don’t walk away
[Outro — calm authority]
One day at a time...
That’s enough.
Some nights feel longer than they should
Mind running circles through the dark
You smile for people when you can
But carry weight they never saw
Pressure got a way of showing truth
Stripping all the noise away
And somewhere in the middle of the silence
You decide who you gon’ be today
[Pre-Chorus]
No, I ain’t here to rescue you
No, life don’t move that way
But I know what it feels like
To carry something heavy every day
[Chorus]
When life gets heavy...
Stand anyway
When the world gets loud...
Breathe anyway
When your mind gets tired...
Rise anyway
You don’t gotta feel strong...
Just don’t walk away
[Verse 2]
I know what it means to feel exhausted
To stare at walls and question things
To wake up tired before the morning
Still somehow choosing discipline
Some days grace looks like surviving
Some days strength feels quiet too
And if nobody ever told you this...
You still got something left in you
[Bridge — calmer, emotionally grounded]
Slow down...
Take a breath...
You survived more than you remember
Heavy don’t mean broken
Pressure don’t mean finished
[Final Chorus]
When life gets heavy...
Stand anyway
When the world gets loud...
Breathe anyway
When your mind gets tired...
Rise anyway
You don’t gotta feel strong...
Just don’t walk away
[Outro — calm authority]
One day at a time...
That’s enough.
[Verse 1]
Alarm clock...
Same old sound.
Same highway...
Same way down.
Coffee gets cold...
Eyes on the screen.
Wasting time...
Scrolling the feed.
Watching everybody
Live their dream...
While quietly forgetting
To build your own.
Monday turns Tuesday...
Tuesday turns years.
Same conversations...
Same old fears.
Waiting for Friday...
Just to feel alive.
Then Sunday comes...
And you start asking why.
One morning...
The question hits different...
"Am I living...
Or just watching life
Through somebody else's?"
[Hook]
Don't let today
Become yesterday again.
Don't trade your years
For a routine with no end.
The world keeps moving...
So should you.
One real decision
Can change what you do.
Hold your word.
Hold your ground.
Live the standard.
[Verse 2]
Maybe the job
Was never the prison.
Maybe the trap
Was living without decision.
Maybe the problem
Wasn't waking up at nine...
Maybe it was saying
"I'll change my life"
For the thousandth time.
Everybody's scrolling...
Everybody's watching...
Comparing their beginning
To somebody else's options.
Watching people win online
While your own life
Sits on standby.
But the mirror don't care
What the timeline shows.
It only reflects
What nobody else knows.
The promises you made.
The promises you broke.
The dreams you keep mentioning
But never approach.
Comfort builds routines.
Discipline builds change.
And nothing changes
Until your decisions do.
[Hook]
Don't let today
Become yesterday again.
Don't trade your years
For a routine with no end.
The world keeps moving...
So should you.
One real decision
Can change what you do.
Hold your word.
Hold your ground.
Live the standard.
[Verse 3]
Nobody owes you
The life you imagined.
Nobody's coming
To make it happen.
No perfect Monday.
No perfect year.
No perfect moment
When the doubt disappears.
You build it tired.
You build it unsure.
You build it while life
Keeps knocking at the door.
One better choice
On an ordinary day.
Then another tomorrow...
That's how lives change.
Stop waiting for motivation
To tell you when to begin.
Stop watching everybody else
Become who they said they'd been.
Your time is moving
Whether you move or not.
And one day
You'll either remember the work...
Or regret all the time
That you lost.
[Final Hook]
Don't let today
Become yesterday again.
The future gets built
By the choices you defend.
One promise.
One direction.
One disciplined life.
Hold your word.
Hold your ground.
Live the standard.
[Outro]
You kept asking...
"Is this it?"
Maybe that's the wrong question.
Maybe the question is...
"What are you doing
With what you still have?"
Alarm clock...
Same old sound.
Same highway...
Same way down.
Coffee gets cold...
Eyes on the screen.
Wasting time...
Scrolling the feed.
Watching everybody
Live their dream...
While quietly forgetting
To build your own.

Tuesday turns years.
Same conversations...
Same old fears.
Waiting for Friday...

[Outro]
You kept asking...
"Is this it?"
Maybe that's the wrong question.
Maybe the question is...
"What are you doing
With what you still have?"
[INTRO — LOW / SPOKEN]
You did it once?
Good.
Now do it...
again tomorrow.
[VERSE 1]
I know what it feels like
To wake up already tired,
Carry everybody's weight
While you're walking through the fire.
Bills on the counter,
Pressure sitting on your chest,
Nobody sees the nights
You were giving it your best.
You don't need another speech,
You don't need another sign,
You already know the difference
Between excuses and your time.
Some days you move mountains,
Some days you barely crawl—
But if you kept your word today...
You didn't lose at all.
[PRE-CHORUS]
No crowd.
No praise.
No perfect conditions.
Just you...
And the next decision.
[CHORUS — MASSIVE / CHANTABLE]
AGAIN TOMORROW.
AGAIN TOMORROW.
Did it today?
AGAIN TOMORROW.
Stand on your word.
AGAIN TOMORROW.
Nobody watching?
AGAIN TOMORROW.
When motivation disappears...
When the feeling doesn't follow...
Hold the standard today—
AGAIN TOMORROW.
[VERSE 2]
Everybody wants the outcome,
Few respect the repetition.
They'll celebrate the finish,
Never see what built the distance.
It's the morning you got up
When your body wanted rest.
It's the call you had to make.
It's admitting you were wrong.
It's the money you didn't waste.
It's walking from what's gone.
It's doing what you said
Long after nobody remembers.
That's how ordinary choices
Turn ordinary people different.
Not one giant moment.
Not some miracle to borrow.
You become what you repeat...
Again tomorrow.
[PRE-CHORUS]
No crowd.
No praise.
No perfect conditions.
Just you...
And the next decision.
[CHORUS — BIGGER]
AGAIN TOMORROW.
AGAIN TOMORROW.
Did it today?
AGAIN TOMORROW.
Stand on your word.
AGAIN TOMORROW.
Nobody watching?
AGAIN TOMORROW.
When motivation disappears...
When the feeling doesn't follow...
Hold the standard today—
AGAIN TOMORROW.
[VERSE 3]
Now listen—
One good day won't build you.
One bad day won't end you.
The danger is believing
Either one defines you.
Life will interrupt you.
Plans will come apart.
People will disappoint you.
Some exits leave a scar.
You'll question your direction.
You'll wonder if it's working.
Keep showing up long enough
And the answer starts emerging.
Because discipline ain't loud.
It doesn't beg to be seen.
It's a thousand quiet promises
Between who you are...
And who you're trying to be.
So when tonight gets quiet
And you're staring at tomorrow—
Don't ask if you feel ready.
You already know.
[BRIDGE — MUSIC DROPS NEARLY SILENT]
Again...
When you're tired.
Again...
When you're doubting.
Again...
When nobody claps.
Again...
When nobody knows.
Again...
Until the promise
becomes the person.
[BEAT CRASHES BACK]
[FINAL CHORUS — FEMALE GANG CHANTS]
AGAIN TOMORROW!
AGAIN TOMORROW!
Did it today?
AGAIN TOMORROW!
Stand on your word!
AGAIN TOMORROW!
Nobody watching?
AGAIN TOMORROW!
No matter how high you climb...
There's another road to follow.
Hold the standard today—
AGAIN TOMORROW!
[CHANT]
Again!
Tomorrow!
Again!
Tomorrow!
Again!
Tomorrow!
[OUTRO — KEZIA ALONE]
You don't have to change
your whole life tonight.
Keep one promise.
Then...
again tomorrow.
You did it once?
Good.
Now do it...
again tomorrow.
[VERSE 1]
I know what it feels like
To wake up already tired,

No perfect conditions.
Just you...
And the next decision.
[CHORUS — MASSIVE / CHANTABLE]
AGAIN TOMORROW.
AGAIN TOMORROW.
Did it today?
AGAIN TOMORROW.
Stand on your word.
AGAIN TOMORROW.
Nobody watching?
AGAIN TOMORROW.
When motivation disappears...
When the feeling doesn't follow...
Hold the standard today—
AGAIN TOMORROW.
[VERSE 2]
Everybody wants the outcome,
Few respect the repetition.
They'll celebrate the finish,
Never see what built the distance.
It's the morning you got up
When your body wanted rest.
It's the call you had to make.
It's admitting you were wrong.
It's the money you didn't waste.
It's walking from what's gone.
It's doing what you said
Long after nobody remembers.
That's how ordinary choices
Turn ordinary people different.
Not one giant moment.
Not some miracle to borrow.
You become what you repeat...
Again tomorrow.
[PRE-CHORUS]
No crowd.
No praise.
No perfect conditions.
Just you...
And the next decision.
[CHORUS — BIGGER]
AGAIN TOMORROW.
AGAIN TOMORROW.
Did it today?
AGAIN TOMORROW.
Stand on your word.
AGAIN TOMORROW.
Nobody watching?
AGAIN TOMORROW.
When motivation disappears...
When the feeling doesn't follow...
Hold the standard today—
AGAIN TOMORROW.
[VERSE 3]
Now listen—
One good day won't build you.
One bad day won't end you.
The danger is believing
Either one defines you.
Life will interrupt you.
Plans will come apart.
People will disappoint you.
Some exits leave a scar.
You'll question your direction.
You'll wonder if it's working.
Keep showing up long enough
And the answer starts emerging.
Because discipline ain't loud.
It doesn't beg to be seen.
It's a thousand quiet promises
Between who you are...
And who you're trying to be.
So when tonight gets quiet
And you're staring at tomorrow—
Don't ask if you feel ready.
You already know.
[BRIDGE — MUSIC DROPS NEARLY SILENT]
Again...
When you're tired.
Again...
When you're doubting.
Again...
When nobody claps.
Again...
When nobody knows.
Again...
Until the promise
becomes the person.
[BEAT CRASHES BACK]
[FINAL CHORUS — FEMALE GANG CHANTS]
AGAIN TOMORROW!
AGAIN TOMORROW!
Did it today?
AGAIN TOMORROW!
Stand on your word!
AGAIN TOMORROW!
Nobody watching?
AGAIN TOMORROW!
No matter how high you climb...
There's another road to follow.
Hold the standard today—
AGAIN TOMORROW!
[CHANT]
Again!
Tomorrow!
Again!
Tomorrow!
Again!
Tomorrow!
[OUTRO — KEZIA ALONE]
You don't have to change
your whole life tonight.
Keep one promise.
Then...
again tomorrow.
[INTRO — LOW / SPOKEN]
I said I would.
That's the part that bothers me.
Nobody made me promise it.
I did.
[VERSE 1]
I said I'd start Monday,
Monday came and went.
Said I'd stop wasting money,
Then wondered where it went.
Said I'd make more time
For the people that I love.
Said I'd quit making excuses
When enough became enough.
Had plans written down,
Had dates circled twice.
Had a whole new version of me
Mapped out in my mind.
But talking feels good
When the work ain't started yet.
And promises come easy
When they haven't cost you sweat.
I blamed being tired.
I blamed being stressed.
But deep down I knew
I wasn't giving my best.
Nobody broke my word.
Nobody had to.
I looked in the mirror...
And knew exactly who.
[PRE-CHORUS]
How many times
Can you tell yourself "tomorrow"...
Before tomorrow
Stops believing you?
[CHORUS]
I SAID I WOULD.
So why didn't I?
I gave everybody else my word
And gave myself a lie.
I SAID I WOULD.
No more "next time."
If my word means something
It has to start with mine.
No crowd.
No witness.
No reason to explain.
I said I would...
So I'm saying it again—
And this time...
I mean it.
[VERSE 2]
Said I'd walk away
From what kept pulling me backwards.
Then answered that same call
Like the pain didn't matter.
Said I'd finish what I started,
Put the distractions down.
But every little comfort
Found a way to keep me around.
I kept calling it patience
When really I was scared.
Kept saying "when I'm ready"
Like ready takes you there.
Some promises got buried
Under overtime and bills.
Some disappeared slowly
Between scrolling and standing still.
And some...
I just broke.
No beautiful excuse.
No complicated reason.
I knew what I should do.
That's a difficult truth
When there's nobody left to blame.
You can change your surroundings...
And still carry the same.
[PRE-CHORUS]
How many times
Can you tell yourself "tomorrow"...
Before tomorrow
Stops believing you?
[CHORUS]
I SAID I WOULD.
So why didn't I?
I gave everybody else my word
And gave myself a lie.

No reason to explain.

So I'm saying it again—
And this time...
I mean it.
[VERSE 3]
So I stopped making promises
That sounded good out loud.
Stopped announcing every move
Like I needed a crowd.
If I say I'm getting up...
I'm getting out that bed.
If I say I'm letting go...
I'm leaving it for dead.
If I say I'm saving money...
Then the sacrifice gets made.
If I say I'm changing something...
Then my habits have to change.
Because trust isn't only
Something other people earn.
You can lose it with yourself
Every time you don't return.
And rebuilding ain't a speech.
It's evidence.
It's proof.
It's keeping little promises
When nobody checks on you.
That's discipline.
Not perfection.
Not pretending you don't fall.
It's becoming someone
Whose word still means something...
After all.
[BRIDGE — NEAR SILENCE]
I forgive who I was.
But I won't keep protecting
what she did.
I know better now.
So now...
I owe myself better.
[FINAL CHORUS]
I SAID I WOULD.
So watch what I do.
No more making promises
I don't intend to prove.
I SAID I WOULD.
And this word is mine.
Not Monday.
Not someday.
This time.
No crowd.
No witness.
No reason to explain.
I said I would...
And I'll earn my trust again.
[OUTRO — KEZIA ALONE]
Before you ask the world
to believe in you...
Give yourself a reason to.
I said I would.
That's the part that bothers me.
Nobody made me promise it.
I did.
[VERSE 1]

Before you ask the world

Give yourself a reason to.
[INTRO — LOW / SPOKEN]
Funny thing about mistakes...
Sometimes...
you don't realize until later.
And sometimes...
you knew before you made it.
[VERSE 1]
I knew that road.
Still took that turn.
Saw every warning.
Still had to learn.
Knew that voice
Wasn't telling me wrong.
But I wanted what I wanted...
So I carried on.
Stayed too long
Where I knew I had changed.
Kept making room
For what brought me pain.
Called it patience.
Called it love.
Called it everything...
Except enough.
And that's the truth
Nobody likes to admit...
Sometimes the lesson
Ain't hidden a bit.
You saw it coming.
So did I.
Still looked ourselves dead in the face...
And chose the lie.
[PRE-CHORUS]
Don't tell me
You didn't know.
You felt it...
Before you let it go.
[CHORUS]
You knew better...
So did I.
Knew where that road went
Before we crossed that line.
You knew better...
Still chose twice.
Sometimes the hardest truth
Ain't learning what's right...
It's admitting...
You knew the whole time.
[VERSE 2]
Spent money I knew
I couldn't afford.
Trying to look like a life
I hadn't built toward.
Ignored that call
I should've returned.
Closed that door
Before the bridge even burned.
Let pride talk loud
When apology was due.
Blamed what they did
To avoid what I knew.
Said, "That's just who I am,"
Like change wasn't mine.
That's a comfortable sentence
When you're wasting your time.
Went back to places
I'd already outgrown.
Picked up old habits
I'd already put down.
Then acted surprised
When the ending came through...
But consequences don't feel unexpected...
When you already knew.
[PRE-CHORUS]
Don't tell me
You didn't know.
You felt it...
Before you let it go.
[CHORUS]
You knew better...
So did I.
Knew where that road went
Before we crossed that line.
You knew better...
Still chose twice.
Sometimes the hardest truth
Ain't learning what's right...
It's admitting...
You knew the whole time.
[VERSE 3]
But knowing better
Ain't the same as doing better.
That's where discipline
Has to enter.
Wisdom means nothing
If your habits don't move.
You can know every answer
And still never improve.
So now when that feeling
Gets heavy in my chest...
I don't keep negotiating
With what I know is best.
If the door needs closing...
Close it.
If the truth needs saying...
Say it.
If your life needs changing...
Change it.
Stop waiting.
Because every time
You betray what you know...
You teach yourself
That your judgment means nothing.
And every time
You finally honor that voice...
You make your next decision
A little stronger.
[BRIDGE — NEAR SILENCE]
I knew better.
Maybe you did too.
That's yesterday.
The question now is...
What are we gonna do...
[BEAT RETURNS]
[FINAL CHORUS]
You knew better...
So did I.
We can't change that road...
But we can change tonight.
You knew better...
Now choose right.
Because knowing what you know
And still refusing to rise...
Ain't a mistake anymore.
It's a decision...
In disguise.
[OUTRO — KEZIA ALONE]
Don't punish yourself
for knowing better too late.
Just don't make yourself...
learn it twice.
Funny thing about mistakes...

you knew before you made it.

Someday sounds cheap...
Until you see the bill.
Yeah...
I know.
[VERSE 1]
Said I'd call when I had time,
Said I'd go when things got right,
Said I'd save a little money
When the numbers looked more nice.
Said I'd finish what I started,
Said I'd finally make that move,
Kept a hundred good intentions
With a thousand reasons not to.
Waiting on the perfect moment,
Waiting on the perfect sign,
Like tomorrow signed a contract
Saying I would have more time.
I watched seasons change the window,
Watched another birthday pass,
Kept saying, "I'm gonna do it..."
Like the future couldn't hear me
Talking trash.
See, someday feels harmless
When today is still around.
But every time you push it forward...
Something else gets pushed back.
[PRE-CHORUS]
One day...
Next week...
Soon...
Not yet...
Funny how those little words
Can leave you with regret.
[CHORUS]
Someday is expensive...
And time collects the debt.
Every dream you keep delaying
Charges interest on regret.
Someday is expensive...
You can spend your whole life waiting.
While you're planning on becoming...
Your life is busy changing.
[VERSE 2]
That friend you meant to check on...
That apology you owed...
That class you almost signed up for...
That place you said you'd go...
That business in your notebook
Still sitting on the page...
That money you kept spending
While complaining nothing changed.
That body you kept promising
You'd finally treat with care...
That family at the dinner table
While your mind was somewhere else.
We think time announces
When we're running out of room.
But sometimes nothing happens...
That's exactly how you lose.
No crash.
No warning.
No dramatic final scene.
Just a thousand ordinary days
Between you and what could've been.
That's the part nobody tells you...
Life can pass
while you're preparing to begin.
[PRE-CHORUS]
One day...
Next week...
Soon...

You've still got tonight.
You've still got one decision
You can finally make right.
Make the call.
Write the page.
Save the money.
Leave the place.
Tell the truth.
Start the work.
Take one promise
Off "someday."
You don't need to change your whole life
Before the sun comes up.
But stop telling yourself "later"
When you know you've waited enough.
Because discipline ain't magic.
It's deciding what matters...
Then giving it
a place on the calendar.
And every time you honor
What you said that you would do...
You stop waiting on your future...
And your future
starts looking like you.
[BRIDGE — NEAR SILENCE]
Someday...
Someday...
Someday...
How much has that word
already cost you?

Someday is expensive...
But today is still yours.
You don't have to know the ending

Someday is expensive...
So stop paying with your years.

[Intro]
Lock in
Feet set
Here it comes
[Verse 1]
I felt the shift when the room went cold
Weight came down but I kept my hold
Back got tight, still stood upright
Long damn day, still came that night
Plans fell through, had to change that route
Doubt walked in, had to walk it out
Nothing moved when I cursed that pain
So I set my feet and I stood again
Pressure don't ask if the timing's right
Life don't care if you slept last night
When that weight comes bearing down
Set your feet
Hold your ground
[Chorus]
HOLD YOUR GROUND
When the weight comes down
HOLD YOUR GROUND
When there's no way around
HOLD YOUR GROUND
Let the drums pound loud
Set your feet
HOLD YOUR GROUND
No retreat
No backing down
One more breath
One more round
When that pressure bears down
HOLD
YOUR
GROUND
[Verse 2]
Money got short, had to cut that spend
Door slammed shut, had to try again
Heart got hit, had to let that heal
Still woke up with a life to build
Some days hurt, some days drag
Some days give everything you have
That's when words don't mean a thing
That's when action enters the ring
I Challenge I when the road gets rough
Me against me when enough feels enough
No one coming to carry me out
Set my feet
Hold your ground
[Chorus]
HOLD YOUR GROUND
When the weight comes down
HOLD YOUR GROUND
When there's no way around
HOLD YOUR GROUND
Let the drums pound loud
Set your feet
HOLD YOUR GROUND
No retreat
No backing down
One more breath
One more round
When that pressure bears down
HOLD
YOUR
GROUND
[Verse 3]
Don't confuse standing firm with ease
I had nights that brought me to my knees
Had that thought that said let it go
Had one reason to answer no
Not for pride
Not for praise
Not so somebody knows my name
I gave my word when the road was clear
Now the road got hard
I'm still right here
That's the difference when truth comes round
What you said versus what you do now
When every excuse starts getting loud
Set your feet
Hold your ground
[Bridge]
Still here
Still set
Still breathing
Not done yet
Still here
Still set
Bring that weight
I'm not leaving
[Final Chorus]
HOLD YOUR GROUND
When the weight comes down
HOLD YOUR GROUND
When there's no way around
HOLD YOUR GROUND
Let the drums pound loud
Set your feet
HOLD YOUR GROUND
No retreat
No backing down
One more breath
One more round
When that pressure bears down
HOLD
YOUR
GROUND
[Outro]
Pressure came
I'm still here
Lock in
Feet set
Here it comes
[Verse 1]
I felt the shift when the room went cold
Weight came down but I kept my hold
Back got tight, still stood upright
Long damn day, still came that night
Plans fell through, had to change that route
Doubt walked in, had to walk it out
Nothing moved when I cursed that pain
So I set my feet and I stood again
Pressure don't ask if the timing's right
Life don't care if you slept last night
When that weight comes bearing down
Set your feet
Hold your ground
[Chorus]
HOLD YOUR GROUND
When the weight comes down
HOLD YOUR GROUND
When there's no way around
HOLD YOUR GROUND
Let the drums pound loud
Set your feet
HOLD YOUR GROUND
No retreat
No backing down
One more breath
One more round
When that pressure bears down
HOLD
YOUR
GROUND
[Verse 2]
Money got short, had to cut that spend
Door slammed shut, had to try again
Heart got hit, had to let that heal
Still woke up with a life to build
Some days hurt, some days drag
Some days give everything you have
That's when words don't mean a thing
That's when action enters the ring
I Challenge I when the road gets rough
Me against me when enough feels enough
No one coming to carry me out
Set my feet
Hold your ground
[Chorus]
HOLD YOUR GROUND
When the weight comes down
HOLD YOUR GROUND
When there's no way around
HOLD YOUR GROUND
Let the drums pound loud
Set your feet
HOLD YOUR GROUND
No retreat
No backing down
One more breath
One more round
When that pressure bears down
HOLD
YOUR
GROUND
[Verse 3]
Don't confuse standing firm with ease
I had nights that brought me to my knees
Had that thought that said let it go
Had one reason to answer no
Not for pride
Not for praise
Not so somebody knows my name
I gave my word when the road was clear
Now the road got hard
I'm still right here
That's the difference when truth comes round
What you said versus what you do now
When every excuse starts getting loud
Set your feet
Hold your ground
[Bridge]
Still here
Still set
Still breathing
Not done yet
Still here
Still set
Bring that weight
I'm not leaving
[Final Chorus]
HOLD YOUR GROUND
When the weight comes down
HOLD YOUR GROUND
When there's no way around
HOLD YOUR GROUND
Let the drums pound loud
Set your feet
HOLD YOUR GROUND
No retreat
No backing down
One more breath
One more round
When that pressure bears down
HOLD
YOUR
GROUND
[Outro]
Pressure came
I'm still here
[Intro]
Different road
Different scars
Same fire
[Verse 1]
I learned young
Life don't warn
Some days break
Before they're born
Lost some people
Lost some years
Held my ground
Through doubt and fear
Had doors close
Had plans fall
Had nights I thought
I'd lost it all
Age taught me
What pain requires
Different scars
Same fire
[Pre-Chorus]
I got my own
Don't carry yours
Different keys
Different doors
Different fight
Different desire
Still we walk
Through the same fire
[Chorus]
SAME FIRE
DIFFERENT FLAME
SAME PRESSURE
DIFFERENT PAIN
YOUR ROAD'S YOURS
MY ROAD'S MINE
BUT WHEN LIFE BURNS
WE BOTH DECIDE
SAME FIRE
DIFFERENT SCARS
SAME DARK NIGHT
DIFFERENT STARS
DON'T NEED YOUR STORY
TO LOOK LIKE MINE
WE BOTH GOT TESTED
BY THE SAME FIRE
[Verse 2]
I came hard
I learned fast
Some doors close
Don't knock back
Some walked out
I let 'em leave
Stopped asking people
To choose me
Had my pride
Had my mistakes
Had to learn
What not to chase
Still got time
Still climbing higher
My own road
Same fire
[Verse 3]
Don't compare
What pain took
You can't know
From one damn look
Some fight quiet
Some fight loud
Some stand alone
Some need a crowd
Years don't make
One struggle more
Pain don't check
Who came before
When heat comes close
Truth gets clearer
Fire don't care
Who's in the mirror
[Bridge]
What did it take?
More than they know
What did you lose?
Enough to grow
What did you learn?
Don't fear that flame
Different lives
Still burns the same
[Final Chorus]
SAME FIRE
DIFFERENT FLAME
SAME PRESSURE
DIFFERENT PAIN
YOUR ROAD'S YOURS
MY ROAD'S MINE
BUT WHEN LIFE BURNS
WE BOTH DECIDE
SAME FIRE
DIFFERENT SCARS
SAME DARK NIGHT
DIFFERENT STARS
DON'T NEED YOUR STORY
TO LOOK LIKE MINE
WE BOTH GOT TESTED
BY THE SAME FIRE
SAME FIRE

DIFFERENT SCARS

[Intro]
You tired?
Good.
Do it tired.
[Verse 1]
Long day
Back sore
Keys hit the table
Right by the door
Feet hurt
Head gone
Whole damn day
Been dragging too long
Said this morning
Tonight I'd train
Now that promise
Don't feel the same
That's when your word
Gets put to the fire
You ain't gotta feel good
Do it tired
[Pre-Chorus]
No spark
No rush
No perfect mood
Showing up
You gave your word
That's still required
Get up
Do it tired
[Chorus]
DO IT TIRED
DO IT DRAINED
DO IT WHEN
YOU AIN'T FEELING A DAMN THING
DO IT QUIET
DO IT WIRED
YOU SAID YOU WOULD
DO IT TIRED
[Verse 2]
Bills due
Check thin
Opened that budget
Then closed it again
Inbox full
One job saved
Application sitting
Halfway made
Phone lights up
Thumb wants scroll
Anything easy
To dodge that goal
Close that screen
Finish what you started
You don't need a feeling
You need to finish
[Pre-Chorus]
No spark
No rush
No perfect mood
Showing up
You gave your word
That's still required
Get up
Do it tired
[Chorus]
DO IT TIRED
DO IT DRAINED
DO IT WHEN
YOU AIN'T FEELING A DAMN THING
DO IT QUIET
DO IT WIRED
YOU SAID YOU WOULD
DO IT TIRED
[Verse 3]
Some days
You got ten
Some days
You barely got two
Give the two
Don't fake the ten
But give what you said
You would give
One page
One mile
One call
One more try
Small work still counts
When the day gets hard
Keep your word
Even tired
[Bridge]
Anybody can move
When the feeling is right
Anybody can work
When the energy's high
But your word ain't a word
If it dies every night
When the feeling goes missing
That's when you decide
[Break]
Tired ain't finished.
Tired ain't done.
You still got something?
Use that.
[Final Chorus]
DO IT TIRED
DO IT DRAINED
DO IT WHEN
YOU AIN'T FEELING A DAMN THING
DO IT QUIET
DO IT WIRED
YOU SAID YOU WOULD
DO IT TIRED
NO APPLAUSE
NO PERFECT TIME
NO SECOND WIND
NEED TO ARRIVE
IF ALL YOU GOT
IS WHAT'S LEFT INSIDE
USE THAT
DO IT TIRED
[Outro]
You don't owe today
Your best day.
You owe it
What you said you'd do.
Do it tired.
You tired?
Good.
Do it tired.
[Verse 1]
Long day

[Intro]
Still waiting?
For who?
[Verse 1]
Five years
Same chair
Same little raise
Same stale air
Keep saying
They'll see your worth
Maybe next month
Maybe next first
Clock goes in
Clock goes out
Same damn dream
You talk about
Door ain't locked
You know that now
So tell me—
Who you waiting on?
[Pre-Chorus]
No hand
No sign
No perfect moment
Coming on time
If you know
What you need to do
Why you still waiting
For somebody to choose?
[Chorus]
NOBODY'S COMING
TO MAKE YOUR MOVE
NOBODY'S COMING
TO CHOOSE FOR YOU
YOU WANT THAT LIFE?
THEN MOVE LIKE YOU DO
NOBODY'S COMING
THE NEXT ONE IS YOU
[Verse 2]
Phone rings
You let it die
Same conversation
Same old lie
Things ain't right
Been that way
But neither one
Got much to say
You keep hoping
They'll change first
They keep waiting
For you to work
Two people staring
At one closed door
Somebody's gotta
Touch that handle
[Pre-Chorus]
No hand
No sign
No perfect moment
Coming on time
If you know
What you need to do
Why you still waiting
For somebody to choose?
[Chorus]
NOBODY'S COMING
TO MAKE YOUR MOVE
NOBODY'S COMING
TO CHOOSE FOR YOU
YOU WANT THAT LIFE?
THEN MOVE LIKE YOU DO
NOBODY'S COMING
THE NEXT ONE IS YOU
[Verse 3]
Bank low
Card high
Keep saying somehow
You'll get by
Numbers don't care
What you meant
Money don't fix
What you won't confront
Open it up
Look at the truth
Cut what you can
Do what you can do
Might take months
Might take years
But waiting won't
Make debt disappear
[Bridge]
This ain't about
Doing it alone
This ain't saying
You don't need help
Take the hand
When the hand is real
Ask for help
When help is there
But help can't choose
What you refuse
And nobody else
Can live for you
[Break]
That's your name
On that application.
Your number
On that balance.
Your voice
In that conversation.
Your life.
So move.
[Final Chorus]
NOBODY'S COMING
TO MAKE YOUR MOVE
NOBODY'S COMING
TO CHOOSE FOR YOU
YOU WANT THAT LIFE?
THEN MOVE LIKE YOU DO
NOBODY'S COMING
THE NEXT ONE IS YOU
NO MORE WAITING
FOR SOMEBODY'S SIGN
NO MORE HANDING
THEM YOUR TIME
GET YOUR HAND
ON WHAT YOU CAN DO
NOBODY'S COMING
THE NEXT ONE IS YOU
[Outro]
Help can come.
Opportunity can come.
People can come.
But the decision?
That's yours.
Still waiting?
For who?
[Verse 1]

Same stale air

[Intro]
I heard you.
All of it.
Now what?
[Verse 1]
You said work
Been running you down
Long week
Nobody around
Boss called twice
Car needs work
Got home late
Everything hurts
I heard every reason
Every damn one
Some of it's real
I ain't calling you wrong
But after the talking
After the truth
There's still one question—
What you gonna do?
[Pre-Chorus]
I heard you
Didn't say I doubt you
I heard you
Didn't say it ain't true
But reasons explain
How you got where you are
They don't decide
Where you go from here
[Chorus]
I HEARD YOU
NOW WHAT YOU GON' DO?
I HEARD THE REASONS
SOME OF 'EM TRUE
I'M NOT HERE
TO TAKE THAT FROM YOU
I HEARD YOU
NOW WHAT YOU GON' DO?
[Verse 2]
You said money
Been tight for months
One thing breaks
Then another one comes
Rent went up
Check stayed flat
Hard to move
When life hits back
Yeah
I heard you
That weight is real
But numbers don't move
From how bad you feel
Start with ten
Start with two
Start somewhere
What you gonna do?
[Pre-Chorus]
I heard you
Didn't say I doubt you
I heard you
Didn't say it ain't true
But reasons explain
How you got where you are
They don't decide
Where you go from here
[Chorus]
I HEARD YOU
NOW WHAT YOU GON' DO?
I HEARD THE REASONS
SOME OF 'EM TRUE
I'M NOT HERE
TO TAKE THAT FROM YOU
I HEARD YOU
NOW WHAT YOU GON' DO?
[Verse 3]
You said trust
Don't come like before
Last one left
You still feel that door
So when something good
Gets too damn close
You find one reason
To let it go
I heard you
Pain leaves proof
But old hurt
Can't make every choice for you
Take your time
Tell the truth
But sooner or later—
What you gonna do?
[Bridge]
See—
I never said
It was easy
Never said
You weren't tired
Never said
They didn't hurt you
Never said
Life was fair
I said—
I heard you.
And after everything
You just told me...
You're still here.
[Break]
So?
...
What you gonna do?
[Final Chorus]
I HEARD YOU
NOW WHAT YOU GON' DO?
I HEARD THE REASONS
SOME OF 'EM TRUE
I'M NOT HERE
TO TAKE THAT FROM YOU
I HEARD YOU
NOW WHAT YOU GON' DO?
YOU DON'T HAVE
TO LIE TO ME
YOU DON'T HAVE
TO MAKE IT LOOK EASY
TELL THE TRUTH
THEN CHOOSE
I HEARD YOU
NOW WHAT YOU GON' DO?

Your reasons matter.
So does your next move.
