4 CHOOSE OR BE CHOSEN

**[Intro – spoken fragments]** You don’t have to. You choose to. Only one thing is certain. The rest? Decision. Tick. Tock. --- **[Verse 1 – rhythmic rap]** They said, “That’s just the way it goes.” Nine to five in borrowed clothes. Build another person’s throne, Call it safe — but not your own. Routine. Security. Permission. Two kinds walking through the gate: Some create — some hesitate. Some sign checks with someone’s name, Some sign contracts with their flame. Comfort. Salary. Stability. You don’t have to — you agree. You don’t obey — you comply. Every cage is self-supplied With polished bars and justified lies. No risk. No blame. No change. --- **[Pre-Chorus – tension rising]** Only one thing we must do — We die. Everything else? We choose. Breathe in. Decide. Move. --- **[Chorus – epic, provocative]** Choose or be chosen. Build or be owned. Lead or keep loading Bricks for a throne. You don’t have to bow. You don’t have to stay. The only thing certain — We all fade away. So dare. Risk. Fall. Live. Without the wound You never grow. Without the fall You’ll never know. This is your line in the sand — Stand. --- **[Verse 2 – sharper, more confrontational]** They fear the word “uncertain ground,” But that’s where real strength is found. Failure isn’t what destroys — It’s never testing your own voice. Safe. Small. Contained. You ask for courage without the scar, You want the summit — skip the war. But victory tastes of broken skin, Of lost rounds turned to discipline. No loss. No gain. No spine. You must not. You may not. You can’t. Says who? The world is full of quiet brakes, Of careful steps and smaller stakes. But those who dare to leave the shore Discover who they really are. Forward. Higher. Fire. --- **[Bridge – minimal, intense]** Heartbeat. Edge. Alone. You must only do one thing — Die. Everything else Is chosen time. Tick. Tock. Now. --- **[Final Chorus – larger, anthemic, layered vocals]** Choose or be chosen. Rise or kneel. Own the moment. Make it real. No one forces ordinary. Comfort’s just a sanctuary. But courage writes the story loud — And scars are medals worn with pride. Dare. Risk. Burn. Learn. Without the fall You’ll never stand. Without the fight No promised land. You must only do one thing — Die. Everything else? Decide. Stand. Now.
