My Name (feat. Lydia Caesar)

What you know about hard work What you know about pain It ain't worth it if it don't hurt Cause in my dreams the whole word knows my name Don't look at me like I got no name Doing it wrong for so long Where's my claim to fame Don't even know if I wanna be part of this game I can say it's all driven by pain Don't know if I'm a player Or the guy on the side going insane Do I continue to pretend To extend this play Where I pray there's more to life Something other than today Other than here, struck with fear Trapped inside myself Doomed to a dusty shelf Well that's not how it's going to go My name's gonna be heard Through the trials of feeling low What's it even worth without all the hurt What's left to exert Got pressure from all sides Put on your best furs Put on a dress shirt Without a degree it won't work I can say what will It's the hard work, the pain, the dedication Pushing only my best out Being the most active player in the game Until everybody knows my name What you know about hard work What you know about pain It ain't worth it if it don't hurt Cause in my dreams the whole word knows my name Dreams about to be reality About to be an emcee Who leverages gravity To not one, but every degree To keep from drowning In the deep blue sea Of people who were also meant to be Cause I'm a be second to none I was the absentee before this begun And I'm not aiming blind Did that before, fell far behind I know what this journey consists of Consider it my labor of love About time to unravel the glove I'm tearing apart everything I love Unmasking the troubled emotions that should be above You're not about to find me Lying on the ground, screaming, face down It's over, it's over, it's over I've drowned Head deep in the sands Actually I'm on dry land Facing life's demands And you better believe I know where I stand What you know about hard work What you know about pain It ain't worth it if it don't hurt Cause in my dreams the whole word knows my name
