[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)
