Work calls

Lyrics

I don’t wanna get out of bed Pillow got me locked in my head Been working twelve hours straight Trying to make sure my family’s fed Bills coming non-stop Man, they never take a break Kids don’t really understand Every sacrifice I make I know they want my time And I wish I could stay But when responsibility knocks I can’t just walk away Steel-toe boots by the door Got another shift to face Lord give me the strength Cause I’m tired of this race Pre-Chorus My body saying no But my heart saying go Cause the people that I love Need me more than they know Chorus When work calls… I still gotta make it Rain or shine I still gotta face it Working twelve hours Trying not to break it Got dreams on my shoulders And I still gotta chase it When work calls… I still gotta make it Verse 2 Work twelve hours One thirty-minute lunch Barely enough time To sit down and eat much My back and feet hurt Like they carrying the world But I still clock in Cause I got my little girl Every paycheck gone Before it even hits the bank Got groceries, rent, lights Man, I got nobody to thank Just me and these long nights Trying to do what’s right Praying for a better day Every single night Pre-Chorus Some days I wanna quit Some days I wanna cry But a real man keeps moving Even when he’s tired inside Chorus When work calls… I still gotta make it Rain or shine I still gotta face it Working twelve hours Trying not to break it Got dreams on my shoulders And I still gotta chase it When work calls… I still gotta make it Bridge One day my kids gon’ understand Why I missed some moments in their life Why daddy came home exhausted After every day and every night Everything I did was love Even if it wasn’t clear to see I was building something bigger Trying to give them more than me Verse 3 The alarm goes off at five And I barely closed my eyes Another day, another dollar Another mountain left to climb But quitting ain’t an option Not the way that I was raised I’ma keep on showing up Till my hard work finally pays Looking at my hands See the proof in every scar Every ache and every pain Got me this far I may be worn down But I’m never giving in Cause tomorrow when that clock rings I’ma do it all again Final Chorus When work calls… I still gotta make it Even when I’m tired I still gotta face it For my family and my future I can never fake it A working man’s story And I’m proud to say it When work calls… I still gotta make it Outro I don’t wanna get out of bed… But I do it anyway… Cause somebody counting on me… And when work calls… I still gotta make it. 🎶
