Focused Lyrics

[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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did John Legend say about "Focused"?
Genius Answer

This is one of the older songs on the album, written back in 2017, and has a different vibe than the rest of the record, more acoustic and folksy. It kind of reminds me of an Otis Redding song. I love it. It’s kind of seductive, and kind of everyman as well.
