Verse 1]
They hug me tight but the grip feel fake,
Smiles too wide like they ’bout to break.
Clappin’ off beat, yeah I peep that hate,
Cheerin’ my wins but they hesitate.
Every time I rise, they stiff, they freeze,
Talkin’ “you lucky,” nah—say it with ease.
Like glow’s a fluke, like shine’s a phase,
Like I ain’t built this in lonely days.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
They don’t get it, they can’t relate,
Call it chance but I call it fate…
⸻
[Chorus]
They still learnin’ my name, my name,
Tryna figure out how I play the game.
But I don’t play, I just am the flame,
That’s why they choke when they say my name.
I don’t chase, I don’t beg, I claim,
Everything comin’—it’s never the same.
They watch close but it won’t translate…
They still learnin’ my name.
⸻
[Verse 2]
Boys line up when I enter space,
Sayin’ I’m different, they love my face.
DMs stacked like a case on file,
Meanwhile they scrollin’ through hate in denial.
“I don’t get it,” yeah, I heard that tone,
“How she win like that on her own?”
’Cause I don’t fold, I don’t bend, don’t plead,
I don’t audition—they follow my lead.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I breathe once, they gravitate,
I choose once, they elevate…
⸻
[Chorus]
They still learnin’ my name, my name,
Tryna figure out how I play the game.
But I don’t play, I just am the flame,
That’s why they choke when they say my name.
I don’t chase, I don’t beg, I claim,
Everything comin’—it’s never the same.
They watch close but it won’t translate…
They still learnin’ my name.
⸻
[Bridge]
They hate how easy I make it look,
Like I ain’t write this page by book.
No breakdown scenes, no public chase,
Still end up front with the crown in place.
It cuts them deep where they can’t compete,
Where doubt and envy quietly meet.
They feel that pull they can’t inspire—
That natural-born, untamed fire.
⸻
[Break / Flow Switch]
I don’t compete, I don’t compare,
I don’t look twice to see who there.
The room clock me when I walk in,
That’s where I start—where they tap in.
They wanted crumbs, I wanted throne,
They needed proof—I knew my own.
They tellin’ stories of almost fame…
I’m livin’ proof—remember the name.
⸻
[Final Chorus]
They still learnin’ my name, my name,
Still tryna copy but miss the frame.
’Cause I don’t chase, I became the lane,
Now everything I want, I claim.
It ain’t luck and it ain’t no game,
It’s in my blood, it’s in my flame.
And what hurt most? I never changed—
They still learnin’ my name.
