We Put The Hours In

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah We put the hours in You know what it is [Verse 1] We came up counting change by the laundromat door Now the crew eats good, got the keys, got more You keep circling old names like a debt unpaid While the rent gets handled and the plans get made I heard you still rehearsing what you wish you had said We were up before the sun, put the work in instead No parade, no shortcut, just a long road climbed You were keeping score; we were building our time [Chorus] You spent your time plotting on what everyone forgot Focused on revenge while the rest of us got ends We worked too hard to let the past call the shots You can hold that grudge; we’re not turning back again You spent your time plotting on what everyone forgot Focused on revenge while the rest of us got ends We worked too hard to let the past call the shots Next one, next move—let the whole thing end [Verse 2] Real talk, that anger takes a toll every day You could turn that fuel into a cleaner way We made calls, took shifts, kept the promise we made Kept a seat for the ones who were there in the rain Now the table got room, every plate got filled Every small win stacked into something real You can keep that old story, keep feeding the flame We got too much ahead just to live in your frame [Chorus] You spent your time plotting on what everyone forgot Focused on revenge while the rest of us got ends We worked too hard to let the past call the shots You can hold that grudge; we’re not turning back again You spent your time plotting on what everyone forgot Focused on revenge while the rest of us got ends We worked too hard to let the past call the shots Next one, next move—let the whole thing end [Outro] Next one, next move We put the hours in You can keep the past We’re getting ends
