Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pull up clean, no stain on me
Gas full tank, two lanes on me
Mama said, "Boy, keep grace on you"
So I move like I got faith on me

New watch shine, but I’m still that kid
Same old block, same cornrow grid
They love the glow when the cameras click
I know the road, I remember it

Pocket full of bills and a torn-up plan
Big cold stare, but a soft-palm hand
I don't talk much, let the boots hit hard
Then I look right in, tell 'em, "Watch this, fam"

[Pre-Chorus]
I been low, I been up
I been broke, I been touched
By the kind of rain that makes you grow
Now I step in, whole room know

[Chorus]
Say my name right
Keep it straight, keep it plain, right
I came up, came up
Now I shine, now I ain't like
Say my name right
Gold tooth grin in the late light
I came up, came up
Now I shine, now I ain't like

[Verse 2]
Seen my old friends change in a flash
One got loud, one got quiet real fast
I kept my word, kept my back to the wall
Kept my momma's voice in the dash

Studio nights with the takeout cold
Phone on DND, heart on hold
When the pressure hit, I didn't fold
I just turned that hurt to gold

Yeah, I want the view, want the keys, want the checks
But I want my peace when I take that breath
Want my name in the room when I leave that set
Want my soul intact, want my hands still blessed

[Pre-Chorus]
I been low, I been up
I been broke, I been touched
By the kind of rain that makes you grow
Now I step in, whole room know

[Chorus]
Say my name right
Keep it straight, keep it plain, right
I came up, came up
Now I shine, now I ain't like
Say my name right
Gold tooth grin in the late light
I came up, came up
Now I shine, now I ain't like

[Bridge]
I was built from the long nights
From the knocks and the closed signs
Now the fear don't live rent-free
When I walk in, they see me

[Final Chorus]
Say my name right
Keep it straight, keep it plain, right
I came up, came up
Now I shine, now I ain't like
Say my name right
Gold tooth grin in the late light
I came up, came up
Now I shine, now I ain't like
