Nettie’s Future Reclaimed (SJ💀& JB⚜️)

[Intro]
Nettie back—say it loud!
Who took tomorrow?
Nettie took it back!

[Verse 1]
Nettie woke with the whole room leaning hard
Still laced both boots, still dealt every card
Yesterday knocked, she left it on read
Fresh route folded beside her bed
Every bad turn marked the streets she knows
Every hard year taught her how to grow
No gold promised, no favor owed
She grabbed her name and hit the road

[Pre-Chorus]
If they bolt that door, she’ll build one
If that old doubt talks, she’ll out-run
No chain on her shoes, no lock on her chest
Too much life left, she won’t settle for less

[Chorus]
Nettie’s coming for her future—move!
Nettie’s running to her future—run!
It’s gotta be better than the mess they made, right?
Right! Right!
Nettie’s coming for her future—move!
Nettie’s running to her future—run!
They don’t get to name what comes next tonight
Not tonight!

[Verse 2]
Old mistakes in a box by the stairs
She remembers the cost, but she don’t live there
Rent still due and the week still rough
One brave step says one step is enough
No crystal ball, no blessing signed
Just that deep-down pulse saying, “Now’s your time”
Let the whole past bang on the frame
Nettie walked out and reclaimed her name

[Call and Response]
Who can stop Nettie? Nobody!
Who owns tomorrow? Nettie!
What does she want? More life!
Where does she go? Forward!
Who took her future? Nettie!
Who gets it back? Nettie!

[Bridge]
Maybe the ground won’t make it easy
Maybe the old fear comes back loud
Maybe she stumbles in the cold morning
Still she stands up in front of the crowd
She’ll crawl if she has to, rise if she can
No one gets to shrink the woman she am
The future ain’t waiting behind some gate
Nettie’s walking in before it’s too late

[Final Chorus]
Nettie’s coming for her future—move!
Nettie’s running to her future—run!
It’s gotta be better than the mess they made, right?
Right! Right!
Nettie’s coming for her future—move!
Nettie’s running to her future—run!
No fear in her chest, no turning back tonight
No turning back tonight!

[Outro]
Where you headed?
To my future!
Who reclaimed it?
Nettie reclaimed it!
Say it again!
Nettie took her future back!
Run!
