[Verse 1: Mads]
I remember, what they told me
So many negative energy's wanna hold me
So many enemies telling me that I'm hopeless
I don't pretend to be anything, but roaches
Tryna drag me down like they drag queens
So fake, create hate, and bad dreams
But I raised myself up in the attic
I've had it, granny made it happen, I'm rapping
And nobody put a stop to that
This ain't luck, I was stuck in a fluster-rap
Man, I'm not gonna flop, I adjust my cap
Then I'm ready for the weather, yeah, I dust these tracks
Open up my door, yeah, I'm ready for war
Got enough ammunition, and I settle for more
Like a storm raising the roof, ain't changing the roots
Not stable, but tornado's always able to brew, like
[Hook: Zoe]
I've been down, more than I've been up
This is the life I chose, it's the life I love
I don't know where I'm going, only where I've been
All that I remember, I remember
Is I know who I am
(Mads: Before I had fans, my grandmother said you're gonna make it someday, one day)
Is I know who I am
(Mads: Before I had fans, my grandmother said you're gonna make it someday, one day)
Is I know who I am
I don't know where I'm going, only where I've been
All that I remember, I remember
Is I know who I am
[Verse 2: Mads]
I seek what I can't see
And I speak with no plan B
I'm not in peace 'til I feel heat
Underneath my feet
Growing beast in me, showing freaks my streak
Blowing breeze, turn cheek
And I increase my speed, now they plead for a piece
When I sneak my speech, up under this fake game
Everybody do the same thing
Tryna put a f**ing chain on me
Get a stage name, be lame, no brain, so they relate to it
I make it rain pain on these strange p**y's
I won't change, this whole game just got their an*ls bleached
And I raid the beat
Not a damn page in my way is safe from me
I can never stay, stage won't wait for me
So no matter what they pay on any f**ing day
Sorry, main, but it's not okay for me
[Hook: Zoe]
I've been down, more than I've been up
This is the life I chose, it's the life I love
I don't know where I'm going, only where I've been
All that I remember, I remember
Is I know who I am
(Mads: Before I had fans, my grandmother said you're gonna make it someday, one day)
Is I know who I am
(Mads: Before I had fans, my grandmother said you're gonna make it someday, one day)
Is I know who I am
I don't know where I'm going, only where I've been
All that I remember, I remember
Is I know who I am
[Verse 3: Mads]
But do you know how it feels
Not get a chance, and nobody believes?
Walk around like a zombie with bills
I'm underground, but I sound like a mill
But I will keep water my plants
Cause I ain't "sort of a man"
I'm 100 percent, and I am tougher than them
I can suffer in pain and still stuffin' a muffin
Got nothin' but bustin' and buckin' this ham
Media tell you to jump on a trend
If you don't wanna blend in, you can jump on train
If you don't wanna be friends, with these popular kids
If you don't wanna be a fan, of this popular sh**
If you don't want weekends, full of popping them pills
If you don't want distance, from these positive feels
You gotta go be a man, start knock with your fist
Being alive is a riot, I'm tired, but my desire is so much higher
[Hook: Zoe]
I've been down, more than I've been up (yeah)
This is the life I chose, it's the life I love (uh)
I don't know where I'm going (nope), only where I've been (yeah)
All that I remember, I remember
Is I know who I am
(Mads: Before I had fans, my grandmother said you're gonna make it someday, one day)
Is I know who I am
(Mads: Before I had fans, my grandmother said you're gonna make it someday, one day)
Is I know who I am
I don't know where I'm going (nah), only where I've been (yup)
All that I remember, I remember
Is I know who I am
[Outro: Mads]
What I don't, what I don't, what I don't know
Where to go, where to go, where to go, go (uh)
Gotta show, gotta show, gotta show, show (what?)
She raised me good all alone (alone)
