Citizen - an anthemic rock meets cinematic hip-hop track about what it means to stop waiting and start building. This is the sound of someone who sat on the fence for years, watching from the outside ...until they finally made the call. No more someday. No more empty plans.
Inspired by the spirit of Liberland - the world's newest nation on the banks of the Danube. For the ones who wired the money hands shaking. For the quiet believers who never said a word, just showed up and built while the doubters deferred.
LYRICS
[Intro – Spoken]
They kept telling me "wait."
Wait for the right time. Wait for stability. Wait for permission.
I got tired of waiting for a world that wasn't coming.
So I built my own.
[Verse 1]
Four years staring at the same screen,
eResident status, living in between.
Not quite in, not quite out,
Digital ID but full of doubt.
Watched the headlines burn every single night,
Governments printing money, calling it a right.
Half my check gone before I see a dime,
Told myself "next year," ran out of next times.
Then I saw it—gold and black and white,
A flag on the Danube standing in the fight.
No income tax, no capital gains,
On-chain governance, no backroom games.
I thought it was a dream, some libertarian joke,
Then I met the citizens and watched them go broke—
Broke building roads, broke laying stone,
Broke pouring everything into something they own.
[Pre-Chorus]
I was comfortable numb in a system designed,
To keep me compliant and keep me in line.
But comfort's a cage when you're born to be free,
So I burned the old plans and I finally believed…
[Chorus] (Dakota Reign)
I'm done waiting on a world that won't change,
I signed my name, I broke the chains.
From the outside looking in, I finally understand,
Now I'm a citizen of Liberland.
Let 'em talk, let 'em stare, let 'em doubt what they see,
I found my ground, I found my feet.
No more someday, no more empty plans,
I'm a citizen of Liberland.
[Verse 2]
Ten Liberland Merits for a square meter of earth,
That's 10 LLM, that's proof of worth.
Not stocks, not promises, not paper they print,
Real land, real vote, real stake in it.
Settlement rights when the city takes shape,
I'm not just watching history, I'm building the gate.
Every merit in my wallet is a voice in the room,
While the old world collapses, we're making the bloom.
And yeah, I hear the skeptics with their "what if it fails,"
Same ones who laughed at the first email.
Same ones who said the internet's a fad,
Now they're begging for the freedom that they could've had.
You're still an eResident? Cool, I was too.
Sat on that fence for a year or two.
But fences don't build nations, action does,
And I got tired of being who I was.
[Pre-Chorus]
I was one click away for way too long,
Telling myself that the timing was wrong.
But perfect timing is a beautiful lie,
So I made the call and I'll tell you why…
[Chorus] (Dakota Reign)
I'm done waiting on a world that won't change,
I signed my name, I broke the chains.
From the outside looking in, I finally understand,
Now I'm a citizen of Liberland.
Let 'em talk, let 'em stare, let 'em doubt what they see,
I found my ground, I found my feet.
No more someday, no more empty plans,
I'm a citizen of Liberland.
[Bridge]
This is for the ones who felt it in their chest,
That pull toward something more than second best.
For the families saying "my kids deserve a shot,"
At a world where freedom isn't something bought.
For the ones who wired the money hands shaking,
For the ones who lost sleep on the leap they were taking.
For the quiet believers who never said a word,
Just showed up and built while the doubters deferred.
We didn't ask for permission…
We didn't wait for the throne…
We just started building.
[Final Chorus] (Dakota Reign)
I'm done waiting on a world that won't change,
I signed my name, I broke the chains.
From the outside looking in, we finally understand,
We're the citizens of Liberland.
Let 'em talk, let 'em stare, let 'em doubt what they see,
We found our ground, we found our feet.
No more someday, no more empty plans,
We're the citizens of Liberland.
[Outro – Spoken]
You're still listening.
You've been thinking about it for a while now.
You know what to do.
See you on the other side.
"I'm done waiting on a world that won't change. I signed my name, I broke the chains."
