Know Me Well

Intro

Yeah

Uh-huh

Gates

Verse 1

Woke up to a text from a number I ain't saved

Phone face down on the nightstand

Mama told me stay humble keep my hands clean

But the block don't forget what a man been

I been grinding since a youngin running routes in the rain

Now the same ones that doubted want a plate at my table

Tell 'em wait on the corner

Pre-Chorus

I don't do the talking I just do the work

I don't chase the clout I just chase the worth

Put my people first

Put my people first

Chorus

I built this from nothing nobody handed me the plan

I built this from nothing with my own two hands

Every scar on my body got a story it can tell

I built this from nothing now they know me well

Post-Chorus

Know me well

Know me well

Yeah they know me

Verse 2

Cousin on the phone saying hold your head steady

I been praying on my knees since the day I got ready

Loyalty is currency and trust is a loan

I pay it back double when they call on my phone

Took the long road the hard road the road they don't map

Now I'm standing on the porch looking back at the trap

Pre-Chorus

I don't do the talking I just do the work

I don't chase the clout I just chase the worth

Put my people first

Put my people first

Chorus

I built this from nothing nobody handed me the plan

I built this from nothing with my own two hands

Every scar on my body got a story it can tell

I built this from nothing now they know me well

Post-Chorus

Know me well

Know me well

Yeah they know me

Bridge

Long nights long talks with the mirror

Told myself get stronger get clearer

I ain't never needed no permission

I just needed my ambition

Chorus

I built this from nothing nobody handed me the plan

I built this from nothing with my own two hands

Every scar on my body got a story it can tell

I built this from nothing now they know me well

Post-Chorus

Know me well

Know me well

Yeah they know me
