[Intro]
(Oh, ah-ah, yeah-yeah)
(Oh, ah-ah, yeah-yeah)
Ha, ha
[Pre-Chorus]
Get up on my level, I'm playing hard
Get up on my level, I'm playing hard
I go through the pain and I— (Ha)
I go through the pain and I take the scars
You gotta be on your job, dog
You gotta stay in and play the part (Ha)
You know this game wanna take your heart
[Chorus]
You better be who you say you are
You better be who you say you are
You better be who you say you are
You better be who you say you are
You better be who you— (Who you, huh)
You better be who you say you are
You better be who you say you are
You better be who you say you are, one more time
[Verse 1]
I said I'm the boss and I mean it (Ha)
Uh, I said that I'm him and I mean it
Uh, the validation, I don't need it
The love weren't real, I could feel it
When the love ain't real, I can sense it
I said who I am and I meant it
They put their head down to you, yeah-yeah
They started doubtin' me, yeah-yeah
Feel like no one was proud of me, didn't reach out to me, took all the light out of me, yeah-yeah
'Till I came back around and the tables have turned and they wiping me down now, yeah-yeah (Huh)
They figured out that I got the blueprint, underground JAY-Z, yeah-yeah
Infiltrated the station, rocking the nation, fuck you, pay me, yeah-yeah (Yeah-yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
Get up on my level, I'm playing hard
Get up on my level, I'm playing hard
I go through the pain and I— (Ha)
I go through the pain and I take the scars
You gotta be on your job, dog
You gotta stay in and play the part
You know this game wanna take your heart
[Chorus]
You gotta be who you say you are
You gotta be who you say you are
You better be who you say you are
You better be who you say you are
You better be who you— (Say you are)
You better be who you say you are
You better be who you say you are
You better be who you say you are, one more time
[Verse 2]
You got me lookin', don't lie, dog
You know the truth gonna find you, dog
You gotta stick to your style, 'cause they gonna try and trick you out your vibe, dog
Girl said you all in her mind, your life on the line, this game so wild, dog
I know some niggas go homies, they caught a few bodies, they out of their mind
I know some niggas that lived in a hurry, they ran out of money, ran out of the time
I know some niggas leading on a ting, ain't paying for a thing, staying in their yard
I know some niggas rather be up on the wing, no bail, givin' no mind, yeah
I'm so lucky I know what I'm in for and that's exactly why I go hard, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Get up on my level, I'm playing hard
Get up on my level, I'm playing hard
I go through the pain and I— (Ha)
I go through the pain and I take the scars
You gotta be on your job, dog
You gotta stay in and play the part
You know this game wanna take your heart
[Chorus]
You gotta be who you say you are
You better be who you say you are
You better be who you say you are
You better be who you say you are
You better be who you— (Who you)
You better be who you say you are
You better be who you say you are
You better be who you say you are, one more time
