Busy Lyrics

I'm way too busy
Don't know when I'm coming home
I know you ain't been alone
Know it's not easy
But I gotta work real hard
To get, to get what I want

I'm way too busy
Don't know when I'm coming home
I know you ain't been alone
Know it's not easy
But I gotta work real hard
To get, to get to where I want to be

(Okay)

Reach for the stars that's what I did
I didn't know I'd get so busy
I'd like to unwind, see how that feels
I wanna keep it real still baby

But I'm way too busy
Don't know when I'm coming home
I know you ain't been alone
Know it's not easy
But I gotta work real hard
To get, to get to where I want to be

I want to be what I want to be and
I don't have much time
As you can see, I handle my business
Be what I want to be in five years time
I got so many things, uh, on my to-do list

Reach for the stars that's what I did
I didn't know I'd get so busy
I'd like to unwind see how that feels
I wanna keep it real still baby

But I'm way too busy
Don't know when I'm coming home
I know you ain't been alone
Know it's not easy
But I gotta work real hard
To get, to get to where I want to be

Okay, Monday up at six (uh-huh)
Take my vitamins
Then I meditate and do my skincare routine (uh-huh)
You gotta stay healthy even though you're stressin'
You should see me working out (uh)
This does not stop you, gotta go faster
Ain't stoppin' 'til tonight (uh-huh)

Jumping' on my bike (my bike)
Helmet on tight
Gotta get to work real fast (real fast)
If I wanna make this last (this last)
Try and look fancy on a budget
Working out great if I gotta save (working out great)
I don't take anything for granted
Appreciate what I have today

But I'm way too busy (I'm way too busy)
Don't know when I'm coming home
I know you ain't been alone
Know it's not easy (I know it's not easy)
But I gotta work real hard
To get, to get to where I want to be (where I wanna be)

To get, to get where I wanna
To get, to get where I wanna be, ooh
Nah-uh, I'm really busy
