I KNOW MY NAME [Intro] Yeah… I ain't gotta prove too much I been knew Uh Let it ride… [Verse 1] I came from the quiet, now they hear me when I speak Had a couple bad days, still I never missed a week I don't chase validation, I just sharpen what I bring Funny how they call it luck when they never saw the grind I got scars that made me wiser, not a victim to the pain Took the losses on the chin, then I went and played the game I don't need a room applauding just to know that I'm the man I can look myself in the mirror like, yeah, I understand Still humble with it, but I know exactly what I'm worth Put my name beside the greats, I ain't scared to do the work I don't talk about the crown, I just wear it when it's earned Every lesson that I lived is another page that I turned [Hook] I know my name, I know my worth I know the road, I know the dirt I know I ain't perfect, but I'm one of one And I ain't finished, I'm just having fun I know my name, I know my place I don't need nobody else to validate If they see it, cool, if they don't, that's fine I'm already proud of the man I find [Verse 2] I move different, ain't a race when you comfortable inside I don't envy other journeys, I just focus on my ride Got a pocket full of dreams and a head full of ideas And a heart that kept on beating through the longest of my years I remember being overlooked, now I'm overlooking doubt Every door that wasn't open made me figure my own route I don't need to throw a punch just to show that I am strong Sometimes strength is staying peaceful when they swear that you are wrong I built this from the ground, every brick got my fingerprints Every failure paid tuition, every setback came with sense So tonight I'm taking time, put the pressure to the side Pour a little confidence and let the beat just glide [Hook] I know my name, I know my worth I know the road, I know the dirt I know I ain't perfect, but I'm one of one And I ain't finished, I'm just having fun I know my name, I know my place I don't need nobody else to validate If they see it, cool, if they don't, that's fine I'm already proud of the man I find [Outro] Yeah… No speeches. No explanations. Just growth. I know who I am. And that's enough. Let the record play.
