Lyrics
[Intro – Slow / Choir]
(Choir humming, organ swells)
Choir:
Hold on, child, the light gon’ come…
Hold on, mama, you ain’t the only one…
Through the fire, through the storm…
Faith gon’ carry you home…
[Verse 1 – Hip-Hop Flow, Nelly Style w/ Country Twang]
I came up out the dirt, boots muddy from the hustle,
Tryna raise my babies right, put food in the muscle.
Dark clouds circle, tryna drag me to the ground,
But I’m built different, ain’t no holdin’ me down.
Bills stackin’ high, weight heavy on my chest,
But I keep grindin’, we don’t settle for less.
Every choice I make, I’m walkin’ that line,
It’s either talk it out, or I’m pullin’ that nine.
[Pre-Chorus – Melodic Build]
Singer:
When the night gets cold and the road feels long,
I remember why I’m here and I keep holdin’ on.
[Chorus – Big Melody / Choir Backing]
Singer:
Is it gonna be… one day or day one, I gotta choose my fate,
Keep pushin’ through, I won’t break.
Family on my shoulders, Lord, guide my way,
Day one or one day…
Choir (echo):
Day one, day one…
Choose my fate, I won’t break…
Day one, day one…
[Verse 2 – Hip-Hop Country Bounce]
It took me some time just to open my eyes,
Saw the truth in your shade, saw the hurt in your lies.
But now it’s my season, it’s my turn to shine,
So close up your blinds, this moment is mine.
Sunday morning hymns still ring in my head,
Grandmama said, “Boy, don’t forget what I said,
You gon’ rise up strong when the times get rough,
Day one’s the moment, one day ain’t enough.”
[Bridge – Soulful / Slowed Down]
Singer (with choir echoes):
Through the fire, through the rain,
I’ll stand tall through the pain.
It’s Day One, I rise, won’t let it slide,
New dawn in my soul, my spirit’s alive.
Choir (call and response):
It’s Day One! (It’s Day One!)
I rise again! (I rise again!)
It’s Day One! (It’s Day One!)
This fight won’t end! (This fight won’t end!)
[Final Chorus – Full Choir / Big Melody]
Singer:
One day or day one, I gotta choose my fate,
Keep pushin’ through the darkness, I won’t break.
Family on my shoulders, Lord, guide my way,
Day one starts now… I can’t wait.
Choir (layered):
Day one, day one…
Choose my fate, I won’t break…
Day one, day one…
Now’s my time, can’t wait…
[Outro – Choir Fades Out]
Choir:
Hold on, child, the light gon’ come…
Hold on, mama, you ain’t the only one…
Through the fire, through the storm…
Faith gon’ carry you home…
(Organ fades, choir hums into silence)
