Lyrics
I’m gonna tell you a secret
Expressing intent to reveal a hidden truth
No one dare admit
Highlighting a truth that few are willing to acknowledge
And you will know I’m right
Assurance that the truth will become evident
When you’re tempted to quit
Suggesting a moment of realization when feeling compelled to give up
If you wanna live your dream
Encouragement to pursue one's aspirations
Be willing to sacrifice
Emphasizing the necessity of making sacrifices to achieve dreams
If you wanna live your dream
Reiterating the concept of sacrifices for fulfilling dreams
Baby this is the price
Stating that this willingness to sacrifice is a fundamental cost
Do what you love
Advocating for engaging in activities one loves
And what you love becomes work yeah
Implies that pursuing passion turns it into a demanding endeavor
Do what you love
Repeating the idea of doing what one loves
And what you love becomes work
Reiterating that passion can transform into hard work
Baby I’m not complaining
Stating contentment without complaints but being realistic
I’m just being real
Recognizing that despite its appeal, the pursuit is repetitive
Though it is plated gold
Acknowledging the glamorized nature of the pursuit despite its mundane aspect
It’s still a hamster wheel
Comparing the pursuit of passion to a routine without substantial progress
If you wanna live your dream
Stressing the need for increased dedication to realize dreams
Then double your discipline
Highlighting the requirement for heightened commitment
If you wanna live your dream
Emphasizing the need for hard work and endurance to achieve aspirations
It takes hustle and suffering
Underlining the importance of intense effort and enduring difficulties
Do what you love
Encouragement to persist despite the transition of passion into work
Though what you love becomes work
Reiterating that pursuing passion can become laborious
Just do what you love
Stressing the importance of continuing despite the challenges
Though what you love becomes work
Repeating the sentiment of passion evolving into work
They said if you do what you love
Referencing the common belief that doing what one loves equals no work
You’ll never work a day in your life
Repeating the notion that following passion won't feel like work
They said if you do what you love
Reiterating the misconception about working in alignment with passion
You’ll never work a day in your life
Repeating the earlier statement that contradicts common belief
They lied
Declaring the falsity of the belief that passion negates work
Do what you love
Encouragement to persist despite the transformation of passion into labor
Though what you love becomes work
Reiterating the need to continue despite passion turning into work
Just do what you love
Stressing the importance of perseverance despite passion feeling like work
Though what you love becomes work
Reiterating the sentiment of pursuing passion despite it becoming work
Just Do what you love
Encouragement to persist despite the transformation of passion into labor
Though what you love becomes work
Emphasizing the need to continue despite passion feeling like work
Yeah do what you love
Encouragement to pursue what one loves despite the challenges
Just do you what you love
Reiterating the importance of pursuing one's passion
