[Intro]
Listen up
Yeah
I’m talking to you
Breathe in
Stand tall
[Verse 1]
You didn’t quit in boot camp
Remember that?
Blisters in your boots
Sand in your teeth
Rain in your eyes
And you still made formation
You didn’t quit
When the nights were endless
When the weight on your back
Matched the weight in your chest
You took another step
And another
And another
[Chorus]
You didn’t quit in boot camp
You didn’t quit in uniform
You have no excuse to quit now
None
Get back to basics
One breath
One thought
One step
Forward
[Verse 2]
Now the fight looks different
No rifle
No rucksack
Just bills
Memories
Empty chairs at the table
And that voice in your head
Saying “You’re done”
I’m telling you
That voice is a liar
Because I remember who you were
When your hands were shaking
Your lungs were burning
And you still answered
“Ready”
[Chorus]
You didn’t quit in boot camp
You didn’t quit in uniform
You have no excuse to quit now
Hear me
Get back to basics
One breath
One thought
One step
Forward
[Bridge]
Back to basics
Hydrate
Call a friend
Make the bed
Write the plan
Back to basics
Ask for help
Show up anyway
Even when your knees tremble
You are trained for this
For hard days
For heavy nights
For getting up when it hurts
[Chorus]
You didn’t quit in boot camp
You didn’t quit in uniform
You have no excuse to quit now
Stand up
Get back to basics
One breath
One thought
One step
Forward
[Outro]
You’re still in it
Warrior
Heart still beating
Orders are simple:
Do. Not. Quit
