It's been quite the day
But I'm okay
I can't stop thinkin' about how bad I want it
When I'm on stage
They all know my name
And I'm just speakin' my words and they repeat 'em to me
As I write my nights away
Into the sounds, baby I decay
It's the only time that I find my way
As I, picture crowds where I could lay
First, find the words that I should say
Find the right roads that I should take
Anything to reach that next accolade
In the end, stadiums that shout my name like
Said I don't wanna be nameless
I want strangers to recognize me
Said I just wanna be famous
So I could have the world, listen to me
It's been quite the day
But I'm okay
I can't stop thinkin' about how bad I want it
When I'm on stage
They all know my name
And I'm just speakin' my words and they repeat 'em to me
And I can't wait
To see that day
Have a million strangers who already know me
When they see my face
And they know my pain
And I don't have to explain who I'm destine to be
When I'm on stage
They all know my name
And I'm just speakin' my words and they repeat 'em to me
Let me give you some background
The reason I had to lay this track down
I was locked down in my girls apartment
And I saw a vid of Ye performin' heartless
And I cried to the harmony of that sound
And I would die for one of mine to make that sound
And when it happens to me, I'ma breakdown
Hold the mic in the air with my face down
And every time that I write a new hook
I just think to myself is it somethin' they could say loud
Like yeah, this is somethin' they could say loud
All the people who were sleepin' are awake now
And my bars make 'em slide like a playground
Man, I don't even know what to say now because
It's been quite the day
But I'm okay
I can't stop thinkin' about how bad I want it
When I'm on stage
They all know my name
And I'm just speakin' my words and they repeat 'em to me
And I can't wait
To see that day
Have a million strangers who already know me
When they see my face
And they know my pain
And I don't have to explain who I'm destine to be
When I'm on stage
They all know my name
And I'm just speakin' my words and they repeat 'em to me
