### “TIME FOR A STATEMENT” — Iron Cedar \[Intro\] Yeah… Been high for so long, I forgot where the days went, Now I'm looking in the mirror, trying to make a statement. Iron Cedar… Sometimes you gotta lose yourself to find your placement. \[Verse 1\] I've been high so long, I think I need some treatment, Maybe it's time to stand up, give the world a reason. Coming through, it's like I got a misplacement, Life moving fast, I'm just trying to find my station. All off the statement, Indiana like Pacers, Running from my problems, now I'm facing my neighbors. I was chasing that high, lost track of the time, Had a head full of clouds, couldn't see through the blinds. Now I'm looking for a way to put my feet on the pavement, Turn the pain into purpose, turn the struggle to greatness. I ain't saying I'm perfect, got some battles I'm facing, But I'm done letting yesterday determine my placement. \[Hook\] I've been high so long, now it's time for a change, Had to step out the fog, had to get in my lane. I'm making a statement, let 'em know I'm awake, Got a life worth living, got a future to make. Yeah, I'm done with the running, done with wasting my days, Put my heart in the music, put my soul in the change. I've been down, I've been lost, but I'm finding my way, Iron Cedar coming through — got a statement to make. \[Verse 2\] I remember them nights when the whole world faded, Same old routine, same roads I was taking. Told myself I was fine, but inside I was breaking, Every promise to myself was another one shaking. Now I'm picking up the pieces, putting faith in the plan, Trying to be a better father, be a better man. Northwoods roots, got the dirt on my hands, I ain't running from the truth, got a new set of plans. Treatment ain't weakness, that's a move toward healing, Got to face what's inside, got to trust what I'm feeling. Every day that I fight is another new beginning, And the life I'm building now is a life worth living. \[Hook\] I've been high so long, now it's time for a change, Had to step out the fog, had to get in my lane. I'm making a statement, let 'em know I'm awake, Got a life worth living, got a future to make. Yeah, I'm done with the running, done with wasting my days, Put my heart in the music, put my soul in the change. I've been down, I've been lost, but I'm finding my way, Iron Cedar coming through — got a statement to make. \[Outro\] I've been high so long, now I'm ready to face it, No more hiding from the truth, no more trying to escape it. One day at a time, I'm rebuilding the foundation, Iron Cedar — this is more than a statement. I'm staying in my own lane, got a new destination, From the fog to the light… This is my transformation.
