Put in Work lyrics

I was born with stars in my eyes

That's just what I thought I was meant to be

Mama told me reach for the sky

Life's just one big opportunity

You put in work, put in work

But you never be done

Feel the burn, feel the burn

'Cause you're chasing the sun

Keep digging that hole

Just to find a fool's gold

Yeah

Spent my whole life on the grind

No telling what it's done to me

And through the struggle I find

No love in labour, no ecstasy

Searching deep inside for a feeling

I know that the answer's in me

Giving my whole life a new meaning

Now I know the best things in life are free, yeah

Put in work, put in work

But you never be done

Feel the burn, feel the burn

'Cause you're chasing the sun

Keep digging that hole

Just to find a fool's gold

You put in work, put in work

But you never be done

Feel the burn, feel the burn

'Cause you're chasing the sun

Keep digging that hole

Just to find a fool's gold

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Told me I should follow my dreams

Instead, they're catching up to me

Oh, nothing's really what it seems

When you're fulfilling a fantasy

I realised that looks are deceiving

And that's when I started to hear

The rhythm that my heart was beating

And now the road ahead is so crystal clear, yeah yeah

(Put in work, put in work)

Oh, but you never be done

Feel the burn, feel the burn

'Cause you're chasing the sun

Keep digging that hole

Just to find a fool's gold

You put in work, put in work

But you never be done

Feel the burn, feel the burn

'Cause you're chasing the sun

Keep digging that

Just to find a fool's gold

Yeah, yeah, yeah

You put in your work

But you never be done

Feel, feel, feel the burn

'Cause you're chasing the sun

You keep digging that hole

You keep digging that hole

For a fool's gold

I was born with stars in my eyes

That's just what I thought I was meant to be
