Verse 1
You cannot serve two masters,
Just like new can’t also be old.
One hand clings to the future,
The other grips what you’ve been told.
One master’s angry, vengeful,
Judgment dripping from his breath,
The other doesn’t scream or curse—
He just tightens control to death.
Pre-Chorus
There’s only you and your opponent,
Call him devil if you need a name,
But mirrors don’t lie, they just reflect
Who’s really playing the game.
Chorus
So which one of you is gonna be God?
Which one gets the throne and the crown?
If you choose the good, you lose the real,
‘Cause the good don’t stick around.
Good is borrowed, bad is owned,
Good burns fast, bad’s carved in stone.
Good is momentary light—
Bad lasts forever, waits its turn.
Verse 2
They say choose the good and you’ll be saved,
But the good always goes bad—no exception.
Every promise rots with time,
Every virtue bends to correction.
Something good will always turn,
Crack, decay, and fall apart.
But nothing bad ever repents,
It just sharpens its edge in the dark.
Pre-Chorus
You wait for evil to return a favor,
To soften up, to change its mind,
But bad don’t come back better—
It just survives the test of time.
Chorus
So which one of you is gonna be God?
Who decides what’s right or wrong?
Good never stays when it’s needed most,
Bad just hums the same old song.
Good is brief, bad is true,
Bad outlives me, bad outlives you.
Good is a spark, gone too soon—
Bad’s a fire that eats the room.
Bridge (Spoken Word)
Everything good turns bad.
Nothing bad turns good.
Good is short-lived—
Bad lasts forever.
That’s not belief.
That’s observation.
Final Chorus
So don’t preach heaven like it’s permanent,
Don’t sell me light like it won’t fade.
If God is chosen by survival,
Then bad’s the only deal that’s stayed.
Good comes and goes like breath in cold,
Bad’s the truth we never outrun.
You wanna know who becomes God?
The one that’s left when good is done.
Outro
Two masters.
One choice.
No witnesses.
Only the one that lasts.
