Lyrics Put In Work - Joy Denalane

Put In Work

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’ll 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 labor, 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’ll 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’ll 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 realized 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’ll 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’ll 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
And put in your work
But you’ll 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
