KNOW THE NAME Lyrics by OutCast

0

(Chorus)

Know the name, lit the flame
Don't get paid, underrated
What's my name, what's my age
This my stage, and I'mma make it
I'mma stay, don't need fame
Not a game it's time to face it
Know the name, know the name
Y'all better know my name ayy

(Hook)

Know the name, know the name yeah
Know the name, y'all better know my name yeah
Know the name, know the name yeah
Know the name, y'all better know my name yeah

(Verse 1)

I ask, my fans
If I'm gonna make it to the top and stand
I can do a handstand backflip
Even if I fall I'll still land
And you'd think that it happened how I planned
Thinking it's about time
They gave me a chance
Thinking I'mma slip up
Living like a man, but
When I get a man down
I don't ever give up

They want me to lose
They want me confused
They give me their hate
I'm still making moves
But look at the news
They called me a fool
I'm not lil baby
Got something to prove
Nothing to lose
I'm on the loose
This not a game
I paid all my dues
Donaldson who
What do you do
You'll know my name
Whenever I'm through

Not about to give up but I came pretty close
Thinking I'm a menace but we moving like a ghost
Living in a shadow but we bout to be exposed
Pour a little gasoline to make it all explode
Spitting like I'm in it I'mma give it all I got
Living like a killer I'mma kill it like a boss
Trynna make a profit I'mma sell it like a Ross
Getting kinda livid I admit it I'mma give it what it cost

Sleeping on the gym floor
I just don't quit
Feeling like a monday
Always working
Looking like a picture
I got the focus
I've been working hard
But no one knows it
It's easy to run
But it's harder to fly
Don't look at me
Like I don't put in time
Remember my name
And the way that I grind
Greatness like mine
Will leave you surprised

(Chorus)

Know the name, lit the flame
Don't get paid, underrated
What's my name, what's my age
This my stage, and I'mma make it
I'mma stay, don't need fame
Not a game it's time to face it
Know the name, know the name
Y'all better know my name ayy

(Hook)

Know the name, know the name yeah
Know the name, y'all better know my name yeah
Know the name, know the name yeah
Know the name, y'all better know my name yeah

(Verse)

At last, I came back
Wrote fifteen tracks in two months max, what's that?
The eighteen Matt was trash
Facts, but that was in the past
And my bad I might lack
The auto tune but it still slaps
And I'm too fast, electric
You can forget gas

If you thinking I'mma re-lax
I don't really feel that
I'm tired of the feedback
Talking bout my meek stats
Everybody wants to eat snacks
Nobody wants to bring facts
Looking like a sleep fest
Yes I really mean that
But I think I'm on the brink of being great
And I'm pretty sure they wanna see me break
But I'm never gonna let somebody say
What I'm gonna be whenever I get off the stage

I'm getting kinda sick of all the hate
I'm kinda feeling like I got a little stomach ache
I pour a little Bismol hoping pain'll go away
Instead I vomit making everything a little bit more difficult
But anyway you wanna be a little bit supportive
Of the person I'm becoming
I don't really wanna joke about
The way that no one ever thought
I'd ever be a rapper but it's funny
With the way I watch the haters
Put my name into their playlist, ayy

Got it like a red dot on your forehead
Going for the kill I show up on your doorstep
Remember what I said when I said don't force it
Running like a veteran I don't show no blood
Riding the beat like I'm riding a bike
If you coming at me then I'm ready to fight
Remember my name and just give me a mic
Greatness like mine is so hard to find

(Chorus)

Know the name, lit the flame
Don't get paid, underrated
What's my name, what's my age
This my stage, and I'mma make it
I'mma stay, don't need fame
Not a game it's time to face it
Know the name, know the name
Y'all better know my name ayy

(Hook)

Know the name, know the name yeah
Know the name, y'all better know my name yeah
Know the name, know the name yeah
Know the name, y'all better know my name yeah
