Lyrics
[Intro]
Alarm ring, lace up
Same boots, same bus
Picture on my lock screen
Little man, my reason
[Verse 1]
Clock in, concrete perfume
Steel toe dreams in a breakroom
Lunch cold, pay late, eyes heavy
Whole check already spent in my head, be
Seeing Pampers, high chairs, light bills
Her text say, "We good," but I know the fight real
Coworker talkin' 'bout “one day I’ll leave”
I’m just tryna buy one more week of peace
Thumb through photos on a smokin' break
Baby boy in a dinosaur cape
He don't know daddy out here drained
He just smile big, say my name
[Pre-Chorus]
Every overtime hour, yeah, I feel that sting
Missin' bedtime stories for a little more green
But I keep that faith like a wedding ring
Cus I’m workin’ for a home I ain't even in
[Chorus]
(Choir)
I got them workin' man blues
But I’m grindin' for you
If I’m losin' my sleep
It's so you never do
I put my heart on this line
Every punch of that time
If I gotta break in two
Let it be for you, let it be for you
(Lead)
Yeah, these workin' man blues
Got me aching and used
But I’ll carry this cross
So you never lose
(Choir)
I put my body on the line
Soul on the line too
If I gotta break in two
Let it be for you, let it be for you
[Verse 2]
Hard hat halo, stains on my shirt
Palms say a prayer every time that they hurt
Supervisor barking, "You late again"
He don't see the crib, or the crib I’m in
Late bus, last shift, forehead sweat
FaceTime freeze on your silhouette
Little hand on the screen like “high five”
Wifi weak, but you bring me alive
Wife on the couch with the bills in a stack
She say, “We gon’ make it, I got your back”
Kiss through a yawn, then I’m out that door
Tradein' all my time for a little bit more
[Bridge]
Who gon' tuck him in when I can't?
[Choir softly] You
Who gon' hold her up when she bent?
[Choir] You
Who gon' build that life from the dust?
[Choir] You
Just me and this faith and a whole lotta trust
[Chorus]
(Choir)
I got them workin' man blues
But I’m grindin' for you
If I’m losin' my sleep
It's so you never do
I put my heart on this line
Every punch of that time
If I gotta break in two
Let it be for you, let it be for you
(Lead)
Yeah, these workin' man blues
Got me aching and used
But I’ll carry this cross
So you never lose
(Choir, bigger)
I put my body on the line
Soul on the line too
If I gotta break in two
Let it be for you, let it be for you
(Lead ad-lib) For you, for you, for you
(Choir) Let it be for you, let it be for you
