Lyrics

Make it Work

I am grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful

So grateful
I’ve been through it all
So I stand tall
You know

Job applications were no problem
This one is a true survivor
I sent the message then it wasn’t long
To get an interview and it wasn’t hard
To make money, buy food
I worked so hard and shared the news
Then that was old news
I gotta make new moves
I gotta show and prove that I can improve
I gotta move on
It’s like a break up song
Or wake up call
I barely even got to put the coffee on
My smile’s fake like clown makeup on

Cause everyday I take the hurt
I manipulate the pain and make it work
Heading home in the rain with no umbrella
The storm’s gonna pass it’ll get better
I heard you can’t win ’em all
Yet I never met a problem that I couldn’t solve
I make it work

And it works for me
It works for me
It works for me
It works for me
It works for me
It works for me
It works for me
It works for me

I gotta be as unique as I can possibly be


And I can’t stop
Won’t stop

I gotta make it work, work
I gotta make it work, work
I gotta make it work, work
I gotta make it work, work

I gotta be as unique as I can possibly be

and make it work, work
I gotta make it work, work
I gotta make it work, work
I gotta make it work, work

When I was young
I was naive and dumb
Flailing around on drugs
Alcohol and too much bud
Now I know those times
Were a waste time
Since I could’ve done something else
Exercise or artistic vibes
Create the high with the gift of self
Cause you can tell I’m not everybody else
I’m going to write it
So I can record it
Take it to the shed
So that when I perform it
The crowd will shake and rock
As the music pops
People try to tell me that I need to stop that
I make the bottom look good
Who cares where the top at
I know where I’m at

In the studio taking the hurt
Manipulate the pain and make it work
Heading home in the rain with no umbrella
The storm’s gonna pass it’ll get better
I heard you can’t win ’em all
Yet I never met a problem that I couldn’t solve
I make it work

And it works for me
It works for me
It works for me
It works for me
It works for me
It works for me
It works for me
It works for me

I gotta be as unique as I can possibly be

And I can’t stop
Won’t stop

I gotta make it work, work
I gotta make it work, work
I gotta make it work, work
I gotta make it work, work

I got to be as unique as I can possibly be

and make it work, work
I gotta make it work, work
I gotta make it work, work
I gotta make it work, work

I got to be as unique as I can possibly be

and make it work, work
I gotta make it work, work
I gotta make it work, work
I gotta make it work, work

I am grateful, grateful
