[VERSE 1: Single guitar doubling: Light 808 spur thump: Lead: Gruff baritone, saloon mic warmth: dry center: Double: ghost track -18 dB L/R: Ad-libs: breath exhales between bars: FX: room slapback delay]:
Sittin' on my couch, beer in hand, life's a strike or a gutter ball
Alarms ringin' like a damn shoe sale, but I ain't movin' at all
Buddy calls, says "trouble's brewin'", some punks stole his ride
I groan "that's life, man", but grit kicks in, can't let the weak side slide
Lazy bones screamin' "stay put", but the Duke in me draws slow
Bundy truth: "world's a scam anyway", but I saddle up and go

Boots by the door, life on repeat
Cheap lights flicker under broken street
Did my time just tryin’ to breathe
World keeps knockin’ like it got beef with me

Got a backbone bent but it never broke
Smile like stone, lungs full of smoke
They hand me messes I didn’t make
Then tell me clean up their mistakes

[PRE-CHORUS: Piano tinkle enter: Lead: clean tone: Rising grit: Harmony: low octave under: FX: slow phaser sweep]:
Never the sharpest tool in the shed, but I see through the smoke
Tough as nails, sarcastic as hell, never back down from a joke
I ain’t holy, I ain’t kind
But I ain’t leavin’ what’s mine behind

[CHORUS: Full guitars + 808: Lead: full chest voice: Sarcastic falsetto hooks: Harmony: 12-part choir pyramid: high falsetto stack ×3: Gang vocals: wide stereo chant: Choir: Grunt on “stand like a rock”: FX: tape saturation + grit distortion]:
Marching forward in this chaos I never wanted
Lazy draw, but my aim's always haunted
Opponents attack, but I stand like a rock
Grit in my veins, determination unlocked
That's the way it is, no cryin' or quit
Sarcastic truth hits like a Bundy skit
One man against the storm, Duke's fire in my eye
Lazy, tough, never smart, but I'll never die
[Ad-lib: Scattered echoes]: “that's the way it is”
I ain’t asked for this
But I ain’t runnin’ from it
Road might bite
But I ain’t done yet
I don’t bend for the storm
I let it hit my chest
Didn’t want this war
But I’ll bleed through the mess

I ain’t asked for this
But I stand in it anyway

[VERSE 2: Same as Verse 1: Tougher baritone: Harmony: Guitar shred tease]:
Bar's a battlefield, punks laughin' like it's their show
I saunter in slow, "this ain't your rug, man, time to go"
Fists fly like bad marriages, broken glass like dreams deferred
I dodge with a yawn, "that's four touchdowns in one game absurd"
They swing wild, I counter calm, grit grindin' like old boots
Bundy blues: "women, kids, now this?", but Duke says "shoot your shoots"

Life threw dice, loaded both sides
Every smile got a knife behind eyes
Got no crown, no shining throne
Just a stubborn soul carved out of bone

They laugh when they think I’ll fold
Ain’t met the kind of tired I hold
Drag my name through broken glass
Still walk straight through shattered past
[Extra ad-libs: whispered]: “still stand” / “still here”

[HOOK: HALF SUNG, HALF SPIT]:
Heist turns south, cops on the tail, ride's a wreck in the ditch
I pull my buddy out, "life's a gutter, but we rich in this bitch"
Never wanted the spotlight, lazy heart wants the chair
But devotion to the crew pulls me through the nightmare
Sarcastic grin: "that's the way it rolls", truth brutal and bare
Tough stand, no back down, we escape into the air
Back straight
Jaw locked
Ain’t pretty but I don’t rot

[BRIDGE: Spoken-gruff: Shred solo + choir grunts: Spoken mono track: FX: megaphone filter: Atmos: wind swell]:
Ain't no genius plan, just raw will and spite
Lazy bones with a Duke's fight, Bundy bite
That's the way it is, messy, real, no frills
One man fused, unbreakable wills
World’s loud.
Liars talk fast.
Cowards hide in clean hands.
I ain’t clean.
But I’m real.

[FINAL CHORUS: Rock-trap explosion: Full stack: Lead: Full falsetto peaks + baritone layers: Low harmony: High harmony: 50-voice wall: Choir layer: Gang chant layer: Unified grunts: FX: stereo widener + harmonic exciter]:
Marching forward in the fire I never chose
Lazy draw, but my soul's never closed
Opposites fuse, I stand unbowed
Grit determination, say it loud
That's the way it is, no quit in sight
Sarcastic truth cuts through the night
One man against it all, Duke's fire, Bundy's call
Lazy, tough, forever tall
[Ad-lib: Constant runs]: “that's the way it is”
I ain’t asked for this
But I don’t break
Heart like rust
Soul like weight
They can bark
They can test
I stay rooted in the mess

Didn’t ask for this
But I’ll die standin’

[OUTRO: Strum decay + wind: Lead: Solo baritone fade: whisper: FX: harmonica tail + tape stop]:
Ain’t asked for it…
Still carried it.
That's the way it is.
Lazy, tough, forever fused, rug tied together
Well, that's the way it is...
Back to the couch... till next time
