Mitchell Lipscomb - Puttin' in Work Lyrics

Left my home
Now I'm grown
And I'm feeling nervous
Open mind
I'll be fine
Just need to resurface
Taken back
By the fact
Don't know what's my purpose
Is any of it still worth it?
I can't help it, I'm imperfect
I'll adjust
Find some trust
In myself I'm seeking
I won't lie
I've been tryin'
My thoughts are always weaving
In and out
Of my doubt
I just got this feeling
Stuck here staring at the ceiling
Will I ever find the meaning?
Sorry if I'm being too precautious
(I'm nauseous)
Having battles in my head with my self conscience
(Have I lost it)
Gotta fight for my life cause if I ever want this
(I got it)
Praying in my head that I will soon grow
From all of the losses
So until then
I'm waking each day
I'll be working on myself
I'm just tryna get paid
Stop caring about the past
It was getting in the way
Now I'm looking to the future
No more weight on me
Taking back my chain
I'm breaking free
From all the things that I used to be
So don't ask me
If that's how it's going to be
Cause honestly
I guess we're gunna have to wait and see
Until I'm
Yeah
Puttin' in work
Puttin' in work and I do it with a smirk
Anytime I find time
For myself I rewind
And remind myself
That I can never decline
Cause yeah
Yeah
When I'm puttin' in the work
And I'm doing what I love
And I do it when I'm hurt
Anytime I'm confined
Put my mind on the line
And my light will always shine
Cause I know that it's mine
Cause there's something that I need to say
Something I've been chasing
Got this feeling inside me
And bet it is amazing
I'm doing it through all the hate
I'm so close I can taste it
I can't explain it
Ya hearing what I'm saying?
Hopping back to the first verse
Yeah I'm immersed
In my hurt
Can't help feeling like I'm digging up dirt
I've been lost
More than just the train and the thought
What I sought and how everything was falling apart
So until my last dime
I'mma make it my time
I be sipping cheap wine
Do it on the recline
Praying to the Devine
Always tryna' refine
Working in the meantime
Doing what I feel like
Doing all of this
Yeah I did it for myself
And I did it for my family
And I did it for my health
And I did it for the friends
And the families I can help
Some can never get enough
So I'm tryna' spread the wealth
So I gotta keep on writing
When I'm fighting
All these demons in my head
When they're conspiring
I've been tryin'
And it's tiring
But this grindin'
Got me smiling
The only thing that keeps on reminding
That until then
I'm waking each day
I'll be working on myself
I'm just tryna get paid
Stop caring about the past
It was getting in the way
Now I'm looking to the future
No more weight on me
Taking back my chain
I'm breaking free
From all the things that I used to be
So don't ask me
If that's how it's going to be
Cause honestly
I guess we're gunna have to wait and see
Until I'm
Yeah
Puttin' in work
Puttin' in work and I do it with a smirk
Anytime I find time
For myself I rewind
And remind myself
That I can never decline
Cause yeah
Yeah
When I'm puttin' in the work
And I'm doing what I love
And I do it when I'm hurt
Anytime I'm confined
Put my mind on the line
And my light will always shine
Cause I know that it's mine
Cause there's something that I need to say
Something I've been chasing
Got this feeling inside me
And bet it is amazing
I'm doing it through all the hate
I'm so close I can taste it
I can't explain it
Ya hearing what I'm saying?
I can't explain it
(I fear I can't explain it)
Ya hearing what I'm saying?
Cause there's something that I need to say
(I fear I can't explain it)
Something I've been chasing
(La lah, la lah, lah lah)
I can't explain it
Ya hearing what I'm saying?
I can't explain it
Ya hearing what I'm saying?
