We all carry something—anger, addiction, grief, guilt. For veterans, it’s often the weight of war that gets repackaged into self-destruction. “Put That Sh!t Down” is not about weakness. It’s about the raw strength it takes to let go of what’s killing you, especially when it once kept you alive.
This song is a call to arms—but this time, it’s a war within. The kind where courage isn’t charging forward, but standing still. Choosing peace over chaos. Discipline over escape.
The Veteran Connection
In the military, we’re trained to carry the load. Don’t complain. Push through. But after the war, we keep carrying things that no longer serve us—booze, rage, pills, bitterness. I know this firsthand. There came a day I realized survival mode was slowly becoming a death sentence. That’s when I wrote this song. Not to shame myself, but to challenge myself. And maybe, to challenge you too.
The Human Connection
You don’t have to be a veteran to get this. Everyone has a crutch they’re afraid to lose. Something familiar that offers comfort but keeps them stuck. This song is a reminder: You don’t have to carry it forever. There’s another way. There’s always another way.
Why This Matters
Letting go doesn’t mean forgetting. It doesn’t mean weakness. It means finally making space for something better. Something lighter. Something real.
Final Thought
Freedom isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s a whisper that says:
Put that sh!t down.
You’ve carried it long enough.
