BETTER BE WHO YOU SAY YOU ARE

[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
