Late nights, dark roads, had to pave my own
Now they only see the glow-up now
Pressure on my back, but I stayed just fine
Held it down when I had no one else

Mama said, 'Hold on, your time is near
Don't worry, darlin', don't have no fear
Oh, please just hold on
Your time is near now, now, now, now', oh, ooh

Now that I'm up
Do you hear me now?
When I was small
Did you count me out?

While I was breaking down
I still held my crown, oh
But I bet, bet
Bet you see me now, talk to me now

Walking in any room, I'm the man
Those who try to follow, you a fan
Catch me if you can
I'm too fly, yeah, I feel too good
Doing everything that a king really should

On my off days, keep a smile on my face
Love to lead, while the others love the chase
Keep winning, always love the taste
Just being me, won't ever change the pace

Try to hold me down, never miss a step
Can't stop my groove, I'm the best of the best
The weight gets heavy, I won't break a sweat
I'm always looking fresh, I say it with my chest

Movin' to my own beat, my own drums
Greatest that you'll ever see, or heard of
Don't forget where I've been, or come from
Just when you think I'm finished, I ain't done
Nah

Now that I'm up
Oh yeah, do you hear me now? (Tell me do you hear me?)
When I was small
Did you count me out? (Did you count me out?)

While I was breaking down
I still held my crown, oh
But I bet, bet
Bet you see me now (See me now)

Talk to me now
Talk to me now
Talk to me now
