Working Like a Horse
A raw, honest anthem about the entrepreneurial grind – where freedom meets sleepless nights and burning ambition. Perfect for anyone who’s ever traded a 9-5 for 24/7.
LYRICS
[Verse]
Been working hard since 6 am
Didn’t get much sleep last night
It’s par for the course
When you’re working like a horse
[Chorus]
Always working twice as hard
Swiping my old credit card
Who to fire and who to hire
Feeling like my hair’s on fire
[Verse]
Don’t complain, you’ve got a job…
Quit one day, you’ll be a slob
Keep your mind and body active…
Think it through, don’t be reactive
[Verse]
Spinning plates and meeting deadlines
Try to keep out of the headlines
It’s par for the course
When you’re working like a horse
[Chorus]
Many think I’ve got it made
Life’s not full of lemonade
I’ve no need to punch a clock
But I’m not sleeping like a rock
[Bridge]
If you play your cards right
You’ll get six hours’ sleep
If you play your cards right
You won’t get in too deep
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
The easy-life fallacy
Of being self-employed
Comes at a very high cost
But very much enjoyed
[Outro]
When you’re self-employed…
When you’re self-employed…
When you’re self-employed…
When you’re self-employed…
You’re a slave to yourself.
When you’re self-employed…
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
Been working hard since 6 am
Didn’t get much sleep last night
It’s par for the course
When you’re working like a horse
[Chorus]
Always working twice as hard
Swiping my old credit card
Who to fire and who to hire
Feeling like my hair’s on fire
[Verse]
Don’t complain, you’ve got a job…
Quit one day, you’ll be a slob
Keep your mind and body active…
Think it through, don’t be reactive
[Instrumental]

kinda feel seen with this anthem, SupaBees really nailed the startup vibe. its like, freedom’s great but man the hustle is real. The part about swiping the credit card? lol, thats my life right now.
Keep at it MikeyJ, the beginning is always the hardest. It gets better!
Enjoy the credit card debt while it lasts, buddy. The grind never stops.
This song hits different when you’ve been self-employed for years. The freedom is a double-edged sword for sure. Anyone else find the ‘hair’s on fire’ part way too relatable?
I gotta say, everyone dreams of being their own boss but this song just lays out the hard truth. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Props to SupaBees for not sugarcoating the entrepreneur life. How many here actually paused to think if it’s all worth it?
Worth every minute for me, wouldn’t trade it for a 9 to 5 ever. Dream big!
