Know My Name by John Calhoun Lyrics
(Chorus)
Ain’t no playing safe
Don’t got shit to save
Hope you ain’t standing in my way
I don’t pump my breaks
I had to take a leap of faith
Go against the grain
They told me I’m insane
Til they heard who I became
Now they know my name
I don’t take no shorts I don’t take no loss
Bet I come right back better than before
If you speak on me better hold the salt
I’m a stay in motion bet I know my law
VERSE 1
Bitch I’m poppin now
Bout to lock it down
Who gon' stop me now
I got the shit they bumpin
From the 9 down to Hockeytown
I got the crown
All my people proud
Speakers knocking loud
I remember be were on the ground
And you were not around
I’m flexin up
Like I’m on the juice
Don’t get us confused
I’m not like y’all
I’ve been off the wall
And you just wear be shoes
Pay my dues
Bitch I’m breaking news
Showtime pay per view
Never seen my city on the screen
Until I took you
Where the suns never shining
So they always got the chills
And the kids who wanna party
Give they life up for some pills
I’m a go and make a killing
Leave it to them in my will and
Throw a prayer up for my city
While I’m thumbing through these bills boy
(Chorus)
Ain’t no playing safe
Don’t got shit to save
Hope you ain’t standing in my way
I don’t pump my breaks
I had to take a leap of faith
Go against the grain
They told me I’m insane
Til they heard who I became
Now they know my name
I don’t take no shorts I don’t take no loss
Bet I come right back better than before
If you speak on me better hold the salt
I’m a stay in motion bet I know my law
(Verse 2)
Put that bullshit behind me
I put my team right beside me
Only my future in front of me
Look like I hit the lottery
Man don’t tell me 'bout patience
I wipe my ass with a wait list
These other rappers complacent
I took the bar and raised it
I’m brazen
Cuz they not gon' see what I see
Till I show them in 3D
Then they gon' say they know me
Frontin like we was homies
Then they gon' say that I changed
I don’t owe them anything
They didn’t make my name tho
They didn’t make my lane tho
Thought I was playing games
They dont know what’s in my veins tho
When shit got messy
I remember who helped rearrange tho
I felt the pressure
But it’s nothing like the hunger pains tho
See the glow
And now they know
Exactly what I’m made for
(Chorus)
Ain’t no playing safe
Don’t got shit to save
Hope you ain’t standing in my way
I don’t pump my breaks
I had to take a leap of faith
Go against the grain
They told me I’m insane
Til they heard who I became
Now they know my name
I don’t take no shorts I don’t take no loss
Bet I come right back better than before
If you speak on me better hold the salt
I’m a stay in motion bet I know my law
Ain’t no playing safe
Don’t got shit to save
Hope you ain’t standing in my way
I don’t pump my breaks
I had to take a leap of faith
Go against the grain
They told me I’m insane
Til they heard who I became
Now they know my name
I don’t take no shorts I don’t take no loss
Bet I come right back better than before
If you speak on me better hold the salt
I’m a stay in motion bet I know my law
