Alarm clock mercy, boots on ground
Smiling through the lost and found
Bills unpaid, dreams on ice
Still they show up, still they’re nice
Hands are calloused, hearts are worn
But they laugh like they were born
To carry weight, to walk through fire
Fueled by grit and something higher
Let’s get it — even when the road ain’t clear
Let’s get it — through the doubt, through the fear
They don’t know how, but they don’t quit
So every day they say — Let’s Get It
“Sticks and stones,” they used to preach
But words were knives beneath the speech
Bad jokes carved into young minds
Taught to hate and call it kind
First thought said, “That’s just the way”
But second thought began to pray
Now they’re dancing with the questions
Breaking out of old confessions
Let’s get it — for the ones who see the lie
Let’s get it — who choose truth over pride
They don’t know how, but they don’t quit
So every day they say — Let’s Get It
You can lead a heart to water
But you can’t make it cry
Grief don’t follow orders
It waits for love to die
Some mourn loud, some mourn slow
Some just carry what they won’t show
But every tear that finds its place
Becomes a seed of quiet grace
Flat tires, wrong turns, busted roads
Hard-headed, heavy loads
But every scar became a sign
That led them to a better mind
They made it through, they’re still alive
Grateful for the will to strive
It wasn’t luck, it wasn’t fate
It was learning — before too late
Let’s get it — for the ones who rise again
Let’s get it — who turn loss into a friend
They don’t know how, but they don’t quit
So every day they say — Let’s Get It
Let’s get it — through the dust, through the flame
Let’s get it — with no shame in the name
First thought was just the spark
Last lesson lit the dark
Let’s get it — and never forget
The pain that taught us how to live yet
