D'Money “Do What You're Told” Official Lyrics Download | The Music Vault

Sit down. Shut up. Head down. Do what you’re told.

“Do What You’re Told” is a furious attack on an education system that D’Money portrays as underfunded, obsessed with conformity, and better at teaching obedience than independent thought.

Driven by an aggressive rap-rock/nu-metal sound at roughly 136 BPM, the track hits with heavy guitars, pounding drums, confrontational verses, and a chant-like chorus built to sound less like instruction and more like indoctrination.

The lyrics begin inside a deteriorating classroom—broken desks, budget cuts, teachers buying supplies themselves, manipulated test scores—and quickly turn toward the larger question underneath it all: what happens when students are rewarded for staying quiet instead of learning how to question what they’re told?

The chorus makes that accusation impossible to miss:

“Raise your hand for permission / To think on your own.”

From lowered academic standards and pressure to fit the mold to the uneasy collision of religion, education, and practical preparation for adult life, “Do What You’re Told” keeps pushing at institutions that D’Money argues value compliance over curiosity.

Then the song follows that conditioning beyond graduation: low-wage work, side gigs just to keep the power on, exhaustion, and another version of the same command—push the button, punch the clock, keep your mouth shut, do whatever pays.
