Know Your Name
Wiz Khalifa Lyrics

Um, it's hardly a secret
It's no secret that you relentlessly pursue your goals.

You aint gon stop tryna get where you going until you reach it
You won't stop trying to achieve your dream until you actually accomplish it.

Always had them bars back in the day
You've always had a talent for music since the past.

When the same ones running up on you wasn't speaking
People who now run up to you for attention, never spoke to you when you were still unknown.

Look at all your achievements
It's hard not to acknowledge all the things you've accomplished.

You work hard so it'd be kinda hard not to believe that
You've worked hard to reach your achievements, and it's hard not to recognize that fact.

You party every weekend (weekend)
You enjoy partying as much as you enjoy your success.

F-ck em all who act like they aint see it then
You don't care about the people who ignored you before and now pretend they know you.

All them nights on the plane
You've spent countless nights on planes, traveling and working hard.

Buses n-gga too, had to charge it to the game
You've had to endure using buses, charging it to the game and paying your dues.

Always want to start em in the fame
People always want to be famous, often without considering the work it takes for fame.

Learn to outsmart em
You've learned to outsmart the people who try to bring you down.

And now it aint no stopping the champagne from poppin'
You are now enjoying the fruits of your labor and can celebrate your success with champagne.

The draws from droppin'
People are starting to throw themselves at you now that you're famous.

Us seeing muscle cars and coppin' em
You're now able to purchase expensive things, like muscle cars.

Started off just a little less popular
You started off less popular, but now you're successful and famous.

Now you got a new place
You now have a bigger, better place to live.

You drive a new car
You now have a nicer, newer car to drive.

You stop all the cameras than life like a superstar
You attract so much attention, people stop to take pictures with you.

Don't care what they say
You don't care what people say or think about you.

You reach for the stars
You have big aspirations and you strive to achieve them.

Got everything you always dreamed or thought about
You've achieved everything you've ever dreamed of.

And everyone knows who you are
You've become famous and everyone knows your name.

Never gets boring
Your life is exciting and never dull.

And haters in your face you just ignore 'em
You've learned to ignore the people who try to bring you down.

Don't know what they talking sh-t for
You don't understand why people talk badly about you.

Seems n-ggas get there's you just tryna get yours
Other people have already succeeded, but you're still trying to achieve your goals.

Therefore, you left all the people you care for
You've had to leave behind people you care about in order to pursue your dreams.

Hopped on a plane and got airborn
You've traveled by plane to achieve your success.

Seen all the bullsh-t and fell for it
You've seen through all the fake stuff in the industry.

But it's all good now
But everything is alright now.

Cause the same ones that talk sh-t telling everyone you made it
The same people who talked badly about you are now telling everyone about your success.

Then you start seein' hoes you dated
Now that you're famous, you're starting to see people you've dated in the past.

Then thoughts started getting jaded
Your thoughts and views began to change due to your new-found fame.

Now your life's sort of different aint it
Your life is now drastically different from what it used to be.

(?) scars what your paint is
Your past experiences shape who you are now.

But was it all worth, it's just painless
You wonder if all the hard work was worth it, since everything feels easy and painless now.

Say you wanna be famous
People want to be famous, but they don't fully understand what it takes to achieve it.

Always knew I was this good
You always knew you had the talent to be successful.

But never knew I'd be this good
You didn't realize how successful you would become.

Them n-ggas just startin' I've been doing it
Other people are just starting out, but you've been doing this for a while.

Hear em talk but they aint living my life
People talk about you, but they don't actually experience your life.

In the dark tryna get in my life
People try to get involved in your life without really knowing you.

But chances I don't 'em, dodge twice
You avoid taking chances with people you don't know well.

Spendin' grands for hoes, this is the high life
You're spending lots of money on women, and this is what you consider the high-life.

And for the camera's posing this the high life
Posing for the camera is part of your high-life.

Bottles raising for my n-ggas not here
You raise bottles to remember your friends who are no longer with you.

I pour out a couple sips
You pour some of the drink out in memory of your friends.

Blew em on the beach, I smoke for you on my trips
You go to the beach and smoke in remembrance of your friends.

Them days I was younger I knew this life was the sh-t
When you were young, you dreamed of a life like this.

But never like this
But you never imagined it would be like this.

It's so amazing, we aint gotta duck shots
Your life is amazing now, and you don't have to worry about getting shot at like before.

We just pour and chase 'em
You just drink and enjoy the good life now.

Aint worry bout it, cause they gon hate
You don't worry about people who hate on you, because they will always be present.

Know where I'm going, look where I came from.
You know where you're headed, but you also remember where you started.
