Lyrics

Focused

[Verse 1] Oh, you know I got a lot of food for thought on my plate, mmm You won't believe all of the people tryin' to get in my face, mmm Not to mention all the ladies trying to take your place, ayy, woah But you know that my attention never drifted away [Chorus] 'Cause I'm focused Yeah, I'm focused on you Woo I'm focused Yeah, yeah, I'm focused on you [Verse 2] Hey, everybody has their days when the work feels like chains When you're tryna shake it up and it still looks the same Oh, but I know I'm coming home to you, so I can't complain, no, no When I walk through the door, all the world melts away [Chorus] And I just focus, mmm I focus on you Woo, hoo I just focus, mmm I focus on you [Verse 3] Hey When the world gets heavy When the days are long Oh, you keep me steady And you make me strong When the train is speedin' I keep holding on I won't let it shake me I won't let it break me, no, no [Outro] I'm just focused Yeah, I'm focused on you, mmm I just focus, mmm I focus on you
