Do Better

(Verse 1)

Scroll past a face like it’s just another post

Whole life gone, now a hashtag and a ghost

Mama crying on the news, but we change the channel quick

Too busy arguing online over politics

Kids disappearing while the world just debates

Everybody got opinions, nobody got faith

We desensitized, numb to the pain we see

But if it was your blood, you’d be on your knees

Walking past strangers like they don’t exist

Judging by the cover, never reading the gist

People screaming for help but it’s silent in the crowd

Everybody talking loud but ain’t saying it proud

I’m tired of pretending that this world’s okay

When good people vanish every single day

We got the power but we don’t wanna use it

Too comfortable scrolling, too scared to prove it

(Chorus)

I get tired of hearing of all the people going missing

I think we as people need to do better and listen

I get tired of livin life like a soldier on a mission

Working hard every day to put myself in a better position

Nobody cares about the truth just about the fiction

I ain’t perfect, trust me I have my addictions

(Verse 2)

Feel like I’m marching through a battlefield alone

Trying to build a future out of scraps I’ve been thrown

Every paycheck gone before it even hits

Bills stacking high like a pile of bricks

Smile on my face but the stress underneath

Trying to plant hope in this concrete grief

I wake up early, grind till I’m sore

Just to feel like I’m worth a little bit more

Truth don’t trend, lies get views

Real talk buried under headline news

They sell fear, they sell drama, they sell division

While we argue over sides and lose the vision

I ain’t saying I’m a saint, I got my flaws too

Bad habits I wrestle with when the day is through

But I’m trying to grow, trying to be different

Trying to stand tall when the world is indifferent

(Chorus)

I get tired of hearing of all the people going missing

I think we as people need to do better and listen

I get tired of livin life like a soldier on a mission

Working hard every day to put myself in a better position

Nobody cares about the truth just about the fiction

I ain’t perfect, trust me I have my addictions

Verse 3

We gotta look up, not just down at a screen

Start caring again about what “human” means

Have conversations that are deeper than pride

Put the ego away and let compassion guide

Notice the quiet ones standing alone

They fighting battles that are never shown

Sometimes listening saves a life for real

Sometimes presence is the strongest heal

I’m just one voice, but I’m speaking it loud

Hoping it echoes through the noise of the crowd

We can do better if we choose to care

If we open our eyes and actually stare

This ain’t a song, it’s a mirror we facing

A call to the hearts that feel like they’re breaking

We all got pain, we all got scars

But together we can be somebody’s stars

(Chorus)(repeat/Fadeout)
