Put In The Work

[Verse 1: beetlebat]
Wake up in the morning with a goal on my mind
I got no rain pouring, I’m back on the grind
Dropped this new tape and you know it’s goin crazy
This isn’t an escape just to stop and be lazy

I gotta win, win, win, so that means I must thrive
Fire up the engine, and watch as I drive
No breaks or naps, that’s wasting my time
You lovin’ my raps? Not even my prime

I need to think, think, think, get my head in the game
Doubting yourself and you feel like your lame
Instead use that as a goal to get built
So shake off that stress man, along with the guilt

Succeeding could take years, a decade, or more
As long as you’re trying, you gonna open that door
Staying optimistic, every chance I’m gon take it
But if you really wanna make it huh?

[Chorus: beetlebat]
You gotta put in the work (work, work)
You gotta put in the work (work, work)
You gotta put in the work (work, work)
You gotta put in the (work)
You gotta put in the (work)
You gotta put in the work (work, work)
You gotta put in the work (work, work)
You gotta put in the work (work, work)
You gotta put in the (work)
You gotta put in the (work)
You gotta put in the (work)

[Verse 2: Lil MG Chris]
Work, ay
Big Chris up in the work
You already know, and I don’t need no percs
Nigga, gon run up on me
He must be berzerk
When I up this gun, this bitch gon twerk, twerk (uh)
Work, work, ay
She tryna slurp, slurp
I got some for desert (ay)
Off two pills, that’s a candy twist
She fuckin on me like a pogo stick

[Chorus: beetlebat]
You gotta put in the work (work, work)
You gotta put in the work (work, work)
You gotta put in the work (work, work)
You gotta put in the (work)
You gotta put in the (work)
You gotta put in the work (work, work)
You gotta put in the work (work, work)
You gotta put in the work (work, work)
You gotta put in the (work)
You gotta put in the (work)
You gotta put in the (work)

[Verse 3: beetlebat]
I’m locked and loaded, I’m ready to go
All of my life I’ve been counting this dough
Grinding my way to the top, I’ve been workin
But I always got one doubter lurkin’

Dropped a mixtape, and it’s already a classic
My haters only like stuff if it’s jurassic
A bunch of old heads think they know it all
Well, pull up buddy I’m ready to brawl

Been on the sidelines, ready to play
I don’t follow no guidelines, I go my own way
I’ve got bars but you know that I keep em locked up
Got a few scars but I’ll keep em all stocked up

Don’t care how long it takes to succeed
As the act of being patient is better than speed
Staying optimistic, every chance I’m gon take it
But you still wanna make it huh?

[Chorus: beetlebat]
You gotta put in the work (work, work)
You gotta put in the work (work, work)
You gotta put in the work (work, work)
You gotta put in the (work)
You gotta put in the (work)
You gotta put in the work (work, work)
You gotta put in the work (work, work)
You gotta put in the work (work, work)
You gotta put in the (work)
You gotta put in the (work)
You gotta put in the (work)
