You Know the Name
J. Flue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't got chains
I don't got rings
No ay hold up
I am a humble dude with everything that I receive
All I want in life is for my family to be proud of me
No need to flex
I just need to get these feelings off my chest
I don't deserve sympathy
Cause they think that I am mean
Yes I bleed the way you bleed
And I think the way you think
10 times worse
We could never be the same
They say I'm the one to blame
You can't blame me when it hits the time when they all know my name
Know my name
When they know my fucking name
I'm sick and tired of people tryna play me just like a game
They be talkin shit but can't even man up to all their claims
That's embarrassing
I don't know how you walk around and do not feel ashamed
Yeah It's time to manifest
Put that positive energy in and see what happens next
Put them haters to rest
And always try to do your best
They gon try to push you and test you
But stay focused and grinding on your quest
Cause
You better move you better move
I don't really wanna hear the excuse
A lot of people are dependent on booze
This is your time to cut off the noose
It's time to be the man that you wanna be
Nothing in life is guaranteed
It ain't gonna be sweet like tea
Gotta be out of this world ET
I done bought a car that cost me 10 grand
Shout out to my grams
If I ever need help I got it on command
Even when it's not planned
I been tryna be a man
Finna be there for my family and do the things that I can
I don't got chains
I don't got rings
No ay, hold up
I am a humble dude with everything that I receive
All I want in life is for my family to be proud of me
No need to flex
I just need to get these feelings off my chest
I don't deserve sympathy
Cause they think that I am mean
Yes I bleed the way you bleed
And I think the way you think
10 times worse
We could never be the same




They say I'm the one to blame
You can't blame me when it hits the time when they all know my name
