(Verse 1)
Woke up at dawn, coffee black and strong,
Dreamin’ of a future where we all belong.
Started that business with nothin’ but grit,
Years without pay, but I wouldn’t quit.
Punchin’ the clock on the side just to eat,
Keepin’ the lights on, stayin’ on my feet.
Newborn cryin’ in the cradle so small,
Wife’s smilin’ through tears, we’re givin’ it all.
(Chorus)
Oh, I’m hustlin’ hard for my family tree,
Stress in my bones, anxiety chasin’ me.
Bills stackin’ high like a mountain to climb,
But I’ll keep on grindin’, one day at a time.
For the love in her eyes and the babe in her arms,
We’ll make it through the storm, sound the alarms.
Workin’ insane, but I won’t break down,
This heart’s on fire, won’t let us drown.
(Verse 2)
Schedules collide like ships in the night,
I’m out the door early, she’s holdin’ on tight.
Baby’s up screamin’, no sleep to be found,
We’re jugglin’ chaos, feet off the ground.
Missin’ those moments, the whispers and touch,
Spark in our marriage, we need it so much.
Tryin’ to steal time ‘fore it slips away,
Holdin’ each other at the end of the day.
(Bridge)
Anxiety whispers, “You’re losin’ the fight,”
But I push through the dark, chase the light.
For her and the little one, I’ll bend but not break,
We’ll fan that old flame, whatever it takes.
No fancy vacations, no easy street ride,
Just raw determination, side by side.
(Chorus)
Oh, I’m hustlin’ hard for my family tree,
Stress in my bones, anxiety chasin’ me.
Bills stackin’ high like a mountain to climb,
(Verse 3)
I rock him to sleep while the clock ticks too loud,
Your side of the bed’s empty, lost in the crowd.
I’m changin’ diapers, singin’ soft lullabies,
Holdin’ back worries that swim in my eyes.
I miss your laugh echoin’ down the hall,
Miss fallin’ asleep with your hand in mine small.
We’re passin’ like strangers in this tired routine,
But I still see the fire behind what you’ve been meanin’.
I’m scared we’ll forget how to talk through the night,
How your arms used to feel when the world felt just right.
So I leave little notes on the fridge when you’re gone,
“I love you, keep fightin’, we’ll make it till dawn.”
This baby’s our miracle, proof of our start,
I’m holdin’ the pieces while you carry our heart.
We’re stretched to the limit, but love doesn’t fade—
I’m right here beside you, in the mess that we made.
(Then back into the final Chorus)
Oh, we’re hustlin’ hard for our family tree,
Stress in our bones, anxiety chasin’ me and thee.
Bills stackin’ high like a mountain to climb,
But we’ll keep on grindin’, one heartbeat at a time.
For the love in our eyes and the babe in our arms,
We’ll make it through the storm, sound the alarms.
Workin’ insane, but we won’t break down,
This love’s on fire, won’t let us drown.
(Outro – together now)
One day we’ll look back, see the path that we paved,
Through the hustle and heartaches, the family we saved.
Yeah, it’s worth every scar, every sleepless night,
For this love that’s our anchor, still burnin’ so bright.
