[Intro]
Breathe in
Taste the concrete
Lace up
Plant your feet (let’s go)
[Verse 1]
Alarm goes off, I don’t hit snooze
Scars on my heart, I use ’em as fuel
Ring on my hand, crib on my back
Little pair of shoes by the front door mat
Iron in my palms, sweat in my eyes
Mirrors don’t lie but I still rise
Fear on my tongue, I swallow it whole
Every rep a revolt, every step more soul
[Chorus]
Stand up and crush it
Even when your legs shake, trust it
Pressure on your chest, don’t rush it
Turn that pain into flame and punch it
For your name, for your blood, for your wife
For the baby with the big wide eyes
For the dream that keeps you up at night
Stand up
Stand up and crush life
[Verse 2]
Bills on the table, weight on my mind
Still hit the gym, still stay aligned
Vows in a frame, love in a fight
Choose the same person every night
Tiny little voice saying “Dad, don’t quit”
Echo in my skull when I wanna sit
Past on my back like a loaded vest
Every old wound just builds my chest
[Chorus]
Stand up and crush it
Even when your lungs burn, trust it
Pressure on your heart, don’t hush it
Let that roar from your ribs just bust it
For the vows that you swore for life
For the kid who thinks you hung that sky
For the fire that refuses to die
Stand up
Stand up and crush life
[Bridge]
Yeah I’ve been broke
Yeah I’ve been tired
Yeah I’ve been bent
But I never retired
Every setback
Just a spine test
Put my doubt in the dirt
Let my will bench-press (hey!)
[Chorus]
Stand up and crush it
Even when your hands shake, trust it
Pressure on your soul, don’t duck it
Face that storm, run through and cut it
For the man that you’re scared to be
For the love that you chose, not free
For the legacy they’ll read one night
Stand up
Stand up and crush life
Stand up
Stand up and crush life
