[Intro — quiet]
What happens if I don't read?
If I keep saying tomorrow,
waste the time I have,
and one day realize I could've done more?

Nobody is coming to write it for me.

[Verse 1]
If I don't read, I stay where I am,
watching opportunities slip through my hands.
I say I want a different life,
but dreams don't move when I don't try.

I want UNIBEN. I want that door.
But wanting it won't get me there anymore.
I can blame the questions, blame the stress,
but results won't care about excuses.

All those mornings I could've studied,
all those nights I chose something else—
I'll remember every wasted hour
when I'm wishing I had helped myself.

[Pre-Chorus]
And that's what scares me—
not that I can't learn,
but knowing I had the chance
and chose not to use it.

[Chorus]
So read.
Nobody can sit that exam for me.
Read.
Wishing won't change my result sheet.
Read.
The future I keep talking about
can disappear one decision at a time.

I don't need motivation.
I need to remember what happens
if I don't.

[Verse 2]
If I fail, it's more than one bad day—
it's plans forced to change.
More waiting, more pressure, more explaining,
more wondering where I went wrong.

I know what I'm trying to escape.
I know the life I don't want.
I want to build something of my own,
make my own money, make my family proud.

But I can't curse the road
while refusing to take the first step.
I can't ask for the life I want
while giving it what's left of me.

[Chorus]
So read.
Even when Maths makes me want to quit.
Read.
Even when I don't understand it yet.
Read.
“I could have” is a terrible sentence
to build a future around.

I don't need pretty promises.
I need to remember the price
of doing nothing.

[Bridge — almost spoken]
Imagine opening the result
and seeing the score I could've changed.

Imagine knowing
the topic wasn't impossible.

I just didn't study it.

Imagine someone asking,
“What happened?”

And having no answer
except—

“I kept putting it off.”

No.

Not this time.

[Verse 3]
I don't want to watch somebody else
live the life I kept planning.
I don't want to say “tomorrow”
until tomorrow disappears.

I don't want fear deciding my future.
I don't want laziness making my choices.
I don't want one exam
to become the reason I stopped believing.

So if I don't feel like reading—
I read anyway.

If I don't understand—
I learn again.

If I forget—
I come back.

Because failing to understand today
isn't the same as refusing to learn.

[Final Chorus — stronger]
READ.
The clock doesn't stop for me.
READ.
My plans need more than wishes.
READ.
Every question I master
is one less waiting to defeat me.

I can be tired.
I can be scared.
I can hate the subject.

But I cannot keep choosing nothing.

[Outro — quiet]
One hour.

One topic.

One page.

That's all I have to do right now.

Because future me
will live with what I choose tonight.

So let her live with something
I'm proud I fought for.

Open the book.

Start.[Intro — quiet]
