Why do we stand for this?

K-pop dark pop-rap with trap drums, halftime bounce, and sharp syncopated claps; verse rides whispered low-register rap over tense sub pulses, pre-chorus strips to plucked synth and heartbeat kick, chorus hits with stacked shouted doubles and a stomping hook, Filtered risers, reverse cymbal sweeps, and glitchy vocal chops bridge into the drops, Glossy but shadowed mix, wide and punchy with a close-mic lead, female vocals, k-pop, rap

[Intro — whispered, layered vocals]
Why do we stand for this? (Why? Why?)
Why do we stand for this? (No more, no more)
Look around… (Look around)
Wake up. (Wake up!)
[Verse 1]
Headlines flashing red and blue, (Red and blue)
So much pain, what do we do? (What do we do?)
We scroll past and carry on,
While another world is almost gone. (Almost gone)
We say “someday,” not tonight, (Not tonight)
Turn the screen off, kill the light,
But the voices in the rain (In the rain)
Keep on calling out our name. (Call our name)
[Pre-Chorus — rising harmonies]
Can you hear it? Heartbeat, heartbeat, (Heartbeat, heartbeat)
Breaking through the silence. (Break it, break it)
Can you feel it? We can, we can (We can, we can)
Turn the fear to fire. (Fire, fire)
[Chorus — full group vocals, stacked harmonies]
Why do we stand for this? (Why? Why?)
Why do we let the whole world break? (Break, break)
Oh-oh, we got a voice, we got a choice, (Got a choice)
So let it ring, let it ring today. (Ring today!)
Why do we stand for this? (No more, no more)
Why do we watch while the innocent fall? (Hear the call)
Hands up high, we light the sky, (Light the sky)
We rise, we rise, we rise—no more. (Rise! Rise! No more!)
[Post-Chorus — chant]
Stand for this? (No! No!)
Stand for this? (No! No!)
Wake up, speak up, make it loud,
We rise, we rise above the crowd.
[Verse 2 — rap with group ad-libs]
World on fire, but the beat goes on, (Beat goes on)
Money talks while the hope is gone. (Hope is gone)
Different flags, but the same tears fall, (Tears fall)
If one of us hurts, then it hurts us all. (All of us)
No more shadows, no disguise, (No disguise)
See the truth with open eyes, (Open eyes)
One voice turns to a million strong, (Million strong)
We’ve been quiet way too long. (Too long!)
[Pre-Chorus — rising harmonies]
Can you hear it? Heartbeat, heartbeat, (Heartbeat, heartbeat)
Breaking through the silence. (Break it, break it)
Can you feel it? We can, we can (We can, we can)
Turn the fear to fire. (Fire, fire)
[Dance Break — group chant]
Why do we stand for this? (No! No!)
Hands up—light up! (Light up!)
Why do we stand for this? (No! No!)
Wake up—speak up! (Speak up!)
[Final Chorus — key lift, choir-like vocals]
Why do we stand for this? (Why? Why?)
Why do we let the whole world break? (Break, break)
Oh-oh, we got a voice, we got a choice, (Got a choice)
So let it ring, let it ring today. (Ring today!)
Why do we stand for this? (No more, no more)
Why do we watch while the innocent fall? (Hear the call)
Hands up high, we light the sky, (Light the sky)
We rise, we rise, we rise—no more. (Rise! Rise! No more!)
[Outro — fading stacked vocals]
Why do we stand for this? (No more…)
Why do we stand for this? (We rise…)
No more. (No more.)
