**DCM**
(Verse 1)
Yeah, I see the world, it’s getting soft,
People crying out, but they ain't getting tough,
Wrapped in bubble wrap, can’t take the heat,
But life’s a battle, man, you gotta stay on your feet.
Coddle them, cradle them, but what’s the cost?
When you shelter the weak, all the grit gets lost.
I’m not here to sugarcoat, no sweet little lies,
Tough love’s the remedy, it’s time to rise.
(Chorus)
Don’t coddle me, don’t coddle them,
We’re built for the struggle, we gotta condemn,
The easy road’s tempting, but it leads to a fall,
Stand tall, face it all, yeah, we gotta stand tall.
(Verse 2)
Whiny nation, everybody wants to complain,
Ain’t nobody learning when we shield from the pain.
Dependency breeds weakness, chains on the soul,
It’s time to break free, regain control.
I’m talking real talk, no more babying,
Life’s a tough teacher, gotta start paying.
Resist the temptation to embrace the ease,
You want strength? Get ready to seize.
(Chorus)
Don’t coddle me, don’t coddle them,
We’re built for the struggle, we gotta condemn,
The easy road’s tempting, but it leads to a fall,
Stand tall, face it all, yeah, we gotta stand tall.
(Bridge)
So when the pressure’s on, don’t run and hide,
Face the storm, let the fire be your guide.
I’m not here to break you, but to make you see,
The strength inside, it’s the real remedy.
(Chorus)
Don’t coddle me, don’t coddle them,
We’re built for the struggle, we gotta condemn,
The easy road’s tempting, but it leads to a fall,
Stand tall, face it all, yeah, we gotta stand tall.
(Outro)
So rise up, take a step, don’t fear the grind,
In the heart of the battle, that’s where you’ll find,
A stronger you, yeah, it’s time to be free,
No more coddling, just let it be.
