Get Busy Living

Get Busy Living is an Ai generated emotional rap-rock song inspired by the idea that survival isn’t the same as living.

This track blends raw verses, explosive choruses, and a cinematic build — focusing on inner battles, wasted time, and the moment you finally decide to move forward.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, numb, or trapped in your own routine, this song is for you.


[Intro – soft, distant]
Yeah…
I’ve been standing in the dark too long
Waiting for a sign that never comes

[Verse 1 – tight, rhythmic rap]
Woke up with the weight of another day
Same walls, same doubts in the way
Clock keeps ticking but I’m standing still
Heart full of noise but the room feels chill

Tried to bury the fear in a “maybe later”
Every broken promise makes it heavier
I keep saying I’ll change when the time feels right
But time don’t stop just to save my life

[Pre-Chorus – building tension]
I hear my name in the echo of regret
Every chance I wasted, every word unsaid
If this is all there is, I refuse to pretend
I won’t let this be how the story ends

[Chorus – explosive, melodic]
Get busy living, or I’m already gone
I won’t fade out quiet, I’ll carry on
I’ve been breathing but I wasn’t alive
Now I’m choosing the fire over the fight to survive

Get busy living, feel it in my veins
Every scar I earned, every drop of pain
I won’t rot in the shadow of who I’ve been
I’m breaking the cycle — get busy living

[Verse 2 – darker, faster]
Built a cage out of habits and shame
Called it “comfort” just to numb the pain
Every door was locked from the inside
Every lie I told said, “You’re fine”

I watched my dreams turn into dust
While I waited on hope I didn’t trust
But fear got loud and I got small
Till I realized fear don’t care at all

[Pre-Chorus – variation]
If I’m gonna fall, let it be forward
If I’m gonna break, let it be open
I’d rather bleed chasing something real
Than die slow wondering how it feels

[Chorus – full power]
Get busy living, or I’m already gone
I won’t fade out quiet, I’ll carry on
I’ve been breathing but I wasn’t alive
Now I’m choosing the fire over the fight to survive

Get busy living, feel it in my chest
Every wrong turn led me to this test
I won’t rot in the shadow of who I’ve been
I’m breaking the cycle — get busy living

[Bridge – stripped, emotional]
I was screaming inside but nobody knew
Wore a smile like armor, played it cool
But survival ain’t living, I see it now
I don’t need permission to breathe somehow

[Breakdown – screamed / distorted]
I WON’T WAIT
I WON’T HIDE
I WON’T LET THIS PASS ME BY

[Final Chorus – biggest]
Get busy living — this is my line
Between existing and claiming my time
I’m done being scared of the weight I carry
I was born for more than “necessary”

Get busy living, I choose the pain
If it means I finally feel something again
I won’t rot in the shadow of who I’ve been
I’m breaking the cycle — get busy living

[Outro – calm, resolved]
Yeah…
I’m still here
And now I’m alive
