Stand Tall

(Verse 1)
Yeah, I wake up slow, sun in my eyes,
Phone buzzing, but I let it slide, no surprise.
Got a list of things that I’m supposed to do,
But my bed’s got a grip like it’s made of glue.

Netflix calling, tempting me to stay,
With a marathon plan and no bills to pay.
But rent’s due soon, and my car needs gas,
Guess I can’t put life on permanent pass.

(Chorus – Singing)
Oh, sometimes I wanna run,
Chase the night, live for fun.
But I know, I know, I can’t stay,
Gotta face the grind today.
Yeah, it ain’t always easy,
But being free ain’t always breezy.
Sometimes you gotta stand tall,
Even when you wanna fall.

(Verse 2)
Suit and tie or a beat-up tee,
Either way, I got responsibility.
Can’t ghost my job or ditch my crew,
‘Cause my word’s worth more than what I wanna do.

I could call in sick, fake a cough, play the game,
But the guilt’s got a bite sharper than the shame.
So I clock in, keep the promise I made,
Even when my soul’s begging for a lazy parade.

(Chorus – Singing)
Oh, sometimes I wanna run,
Chase the night, live for fun.
But I know, I know, I can’t stay,
Gotta face the grind today.
Yeah, it ain’t always easy,
But being free ain’t always breezy.
Sometimes you gotta stand tall,
Even when you wanna fall.

(Bridge – Rap)
See, freedom ain’t just doing what you please,
It’s earning your peace and planting your seeds.
So when the fruits grow, you taste ‘em right,
Knowing you put in the fight.

(Outro – Singing)
Oh, sometimes I wanna run,
Chase the night, live for fun.
But I know, I know, I can’t stay,
Gotta face the grind today.
Yeah, it ain’t always easy,
But being free ain’t always breezy.
Sometimes you gotta stand tall,
Even when you wanna fall.
