How bad do you want it? How bad do you need it? Are you willing to go all in to achieve it? This is dark, moody alt country electronica built on one relentless question, pulsing analog synth bass and distorted Telecaster stabs driving 90 BPM under an intimate spoken word delivery from a country gal on a mission. The verses are the unglamorous truth behind every overnight success story: 3 AM with no alarm needed, phone on silent, investing every hour in the vision while they sleep, skipped parties, lost some folks along the way, the real ones stayed, the fake ones faded. They called her lucky, called her crazy, talked behind her back, and she let the results do the talking, built the empire brick by brick with her own two hands, burned the bridges to comfort and set the safety net on fire. Every no was a step closer to the yes, every scar and slammed door forged the steel that made the woman that's here. While they were scrolling, she was building. While they slept, she shipped. The outro sorts the world clean: mealy mouths, try-hards, and fence sitters on one side, and every once in a while, a real go-getter who bet on herself when nobody else would let her. You only get one shot, so you better think twice. No regrets, no surrender. Written by Pamela Arsena. Pamela Divine on the Pamela Arsena label.
How bad do you want it How bad do you need it Are you willing to go all in to achieve it How far will you push it How much will you sacrifice You only get one shot, so you better think twice Are you willing to grind evenings, nights and weekends to create it I'm talking getting up at 3 am, best believe it While they sleeping I'm investing every hour in my vision No excuses, no distractions, just a country gal on a mission Phone on silent, lights are on, the world is quiet The results are speaking loud and you can't deny it They say I'm lucky, say it all just happened overnight Honey you have no idea bout the sacrifices and the sleepless nights How bad do you want it How bad do you need it Are you willing to go all in to achieve it How far will you push it How much will you sacrifice You only get one shot, so you better think twice Nobody coming to save me, I'd never expect it Self-made from the ground up, you gotta respect it Skipped the parties, didn't take vacations, lost some folks on the way The real ones stayed, the fake ones faded, it's just the price ya gotta pay Late nights followed by 3 am mornings, fueled by coffee and redneck ambition They once called me crazy, talked behind my back, not to mention But they underestimated the meaning of a country gal on a mission 3 am, no alarm needed They said I'd fail, but I never conceded Kept my head down, did the work, let the results do the talking Now they watching every move, can't stop em from gawking Built this empire brick by brick with my own two hands Didn't wait for permission, didn't follow nobody's plans Every "no" was just a step closer to the "yes" Every doubt became the fuel that made me obsessed Burned the bridges to the comfort, set the safety net on fire Cause you can't reach the mountain top without climbing higher While they were scrolling, I was building, while they slept, I shipped While they were talking, I was moving, never let my focus slip How bad do you want it How bad do you need it Are you willing to go all in to achieve it How far will you push it How much will you sacrifice You only get one shot, so you better think twice Every scar, every setback, every silent tear Every door slammed in my face, every season of fear Forged the fire, built the steel, made the woman that's here Country gal on a mission, and the vision is clear This world's full of mealy mouths, try-hards and fence sitters But every once in a while you meet a real go-getter Who chose the grind over the glamour and came out better Who bet on herself when nobody else would let her Country gal, on a mission, no regrets, no surrender
