[Hook: Russ]
Always knew I had to put in work
Always knew that this was gonna work
Always knew that I'd bring home the bands
Always knew that I'd become the man
I always knew that second guessing
Was the opposite of truth
I bet my future on my faith
And let myself do what I do
Now my gambles looking like
They weren't gambles after all
I always knew, I always knew
Yeah, I always knew
[Verse 1: Russ]
Shows overseas and they sold out
Made your girl bring the hoe out
Lotta' people tryna get in contact
Lotta' people tryna get a contract
Cause they want my name on a X
I ain't gonna' lie yeah I think about my ex
I ain't gonna' lie yeah I think about the checks
I ain't gonna' lie yeah I think I got next
Always been the one my fam' turned to
Skeptics Imma' convert you
Give your girl something she can twerk to
I always knew what rap star perks do
Always knew they'd all start callin'
Always knew I'd have a lotta' options
Always knew the money was a sure thing
Always knew I'd make the whole world sing
[Hook: Russ]

[Refrain: Russ]
Always knew I couldn't trust nobody
Always knew I had to trust myself
Always knew they'd try and call me co*ky
Always knew they didn't love themselves
[Verse 2: Russ]
Back in Atlanta and I'm workin'
Always knew it'd paid off to be observant
Always knew I'd end up in a car with curtains
Always knew I'd elevate to a new version
Of my self
2.0
These shots so strong feel the recoil
Who's loyal?
I don't need two hands
Same ones I came in with
Oo-yeah
[Hook: Russ]
Always knew I had to put in work
