[Verse 1] Everybody talking loud again Selling dreams in a borrowed pen Saying “trust me, I’ve been here before” Funny how they always want a little more I been taking notes in the quiet parts Coffee cold, but my head still warm If it’s really something meant to last It don’t rush me, it don’t ask [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need a speech rehearsed I don’t need it clean at first If it’s real, it shows with time If it’s mine, it’ll fall in line [Chorus] Don’t tell me what you’re gonna do I been hearing that my whole damn youth If it’s love, if it’s hope, if it’s real Show me the work—let me feel Yeah, the truth don’t need to shout It kinda laughs, then figures it out When the noise fades and the talk don’t work What’s left is the work [Verse 2] Saw a man build something slow Missed a few turns, still found his road Didn’t post it, didn’t brag Just kept going when it dragged Funny how the simple days End up being the ones that stay All the glitter kinda burns quick But the quiet stuff—it sticks [Pre-Chorus] You can fake it for a little while Put a halo on a crooked smile But time don’t care if it’s cool Only asks what you really do [Chorus] Don’t tell me what you’re gonna be I’m just tryna be at peace If it’s yours, if it’s true, if it’s earned Show me the work—let it burn Yeah, the real don’t beg or flirt It shows up calm, it does the work When the lights go out and the talk don’t work What’s left is the work [Bridge] I used to think I had to prove it Now I just move and let it do what it do Some things grow when you let ‘em breathe Funny how that works for me No rush, no race, no crown Just tryna lay something solid down If it lasts, cool—if not, that’s life Still proud of the days I tried [Final Chorus] So don’t sell me who you’ll become I’ve seen futures come undone If it’s love, if it’s hope, if it’s earned Show me the work—let it burn Yeah, the truth don’t flex or jerk It stays light, but it does the work When the world gets quiet and the talk don’t work What’s left… Is the work [Outro] (Mmm…) Yeah… That’s enough.
