AK | Responsible Tenant | Official Music Video

[Verse 1]
I was born without a title, no deed in my hand
Just a lease from the sky, on this borrowed land
Told to honor the space, and leave it with grace
But we forgot the terms, now we’re losing the place

I’ve seen the cracks in the walls, the air getting thin
But I still believe we can begin again

[Chorus]
I’m a tenant, just passing through
But I’ll leave this place with love, that’s what I choose
I’ll plant where the wild used to grow
Turn off the lights, let the green things glow
This Earth is my home, it’s not mine to own
But I’ll care for it like it’s flesh and bone
I’ll be the kind who makes it better again
A responsible tenant, right ‘til the end

[Verse 2]
I bring my own bag, I walk when I can
Pick up the pieces they dropped in the sand
Say no to the plastic, say yes to the trees
I whisper “thank you” to the rivers and breeze

One step, one voice, one heart in the fight
I’m just one soul trying to do what’s right

[Chorus]
I’m a tenant, just passing through
But I’ll leave this place with love, that’s what I choose
I’ll plant where the wild used to grow
Turn off the lights, let the green things glow
This Earth is my home, it’s not mine to own
But I’ll care for it like it’s flesh and bone
I’ll be the kind who makes it better again
A responsible tenant, right ‘til the end

[Bridge]
And if you feel the same, raise your voice with me
We don’t need perfection, just responsibility
It starts with how I live, the choices I make
One act of care for every breath I take

We’re all tenants, just passing through
Let’s leave this place with love, it starts with you
Let’s plant where the wild used to grow
Let nature rise, let compassion show
This Earth is our home, it’s not ours alone
Let’s treat it right from skin to stone

[Chorus/Outro]
We are the kind who make it better again
Responsible tenants, right ‘til the end
So when the keys are due, and my time is done
I’ll smile and say, “I left it better for the next one.

Behind Story

I’ve always believed that none of us truly own this planet. We’re all just tenants here—temporary residents, borrowing space for a little while before we pass it on to the next generation. That thought stayed with me for a long time, and it eventually became the seed for this song.

When I wrote Responsible Tenant, I wanted to capture the idea that while we may not hold the title deed to Earth, we do hold a responsibility: to take care of it as best we can. The opening line—“I was born without a title, no deed in my hand / Just a lease from the sky, on this borrowed land”—came directly from that perspective.

Every day, I see the cracks in the world around us—pollution, deforestation, climate change—but I also believe we can begin again, if we each choose responsibility over neglect. Simple choices matter: bringing a bag instead of using plastic, walking instead of driving when we can, showing gratitude for rivers, trees, and air. They may feel small, but they add up.

The chorus reflects that choice: “This Earth is my home, it’s not mine to own / But I’ll care for it like it’s flesh and bone.” That’s the heart of this song. To love and respect this planet, not because it’s ours to keep, but because it’s ours to care for.

The bridge widens the circle—it’s not about perfection, it’s about responsibility. If each of us does something, even something small, it creates a ripple. Together, those ripples can change the tide.

Responsible Tenant is my reminder—to myself and to anyone listening—that when our time is up, we should be able to hand the keys over to the next generation and say, “I left it better than I found it.”
