[Verse 1]
I was scrollin’ through the noise
Thinkin’ that was me
Highlights, headlines
Tiny little screens
Chasin’ every echo
Of who I “should” be
‘Til the silence hit different
Started questionin’ my speech
Why I laugh when I’m hurt?
Why I brag when I’m scared?
Why I’m loud in a crowd
But alone I’m impaired?
Every mask on my face
Got a backstory, yeah
Every scar on my soul
Got a map hidden there
[Chorus]
If I don’t know me
How the stars gon’ line it up?
How the road gon’ rise enough?
How the signs gon’ find the bus?
If I don’t know me
How my name gon’ match my path?
How my pain gon’ turn to craft?
Universe just do the math
(So I dive, dive deep)
Past the surface, past the past
(‘Til I find that seed)
Where the truth been tucked in black
If I don’t know me
How the stars gon’ speak my name?
So I look in, look again
’Til the outside has to change
[Verse 2]
Family said “be humble”
World said “stand tall”
Teacher said “pick somethin’”
Church said “lose it all”
Pulled four different futures
From the same tight wall
But my quiet little whisper
Never raised its call
So I sat with my shadow
Didn’t flinch, didn’t run
Asked my anger why it burns
Asked my envy what it wants
Wrote letters to my younger self
Read ‘em out loud
Turned my “why am I like this?”
Into “yeah, that’s how”
Now my fear’s in the passenger
Guidin’, not drivin’ fast
Got my guilt in the rearview
Watch it shrink in the glass
When I move from my center
Every step feel exact
Like the ground been waitin’ years
Just to meet my track
[Chorus]
If I don’t know me
How the stars gon’ line it up?
How the road gon’ rise enough?
How the signs gon’ find the bus?
If I don’t know me
How my name gon’ match my path?
How my pain gon’ turn to craft?
Universe just do the math
(So I dive, dive deep)
Past the stories I was sold
(Where the roots run steep)
Where the quiet turns to gold
If I don’t know me
How the stars gon’ speak my name?
So I look in, look again
’Til the outside has to change
[Bridge]
Everybody want a purpose
Few want a mirror
Wanna hear from the heavens
But ignore inner whispers
What if fate ain’t a fortune?
What if fate is a choice?
And the lock on your future
Is the truth in your voice? (yeah)
[Chorus]
If I don’t know me
How the stars gon’ line it up?
How the road gon’ rise enough?
How the signs gon’ find the bus?
If I don’t know me
How my name gon’ match my path?
How my pain gon’ turn to craft?
Universe just do the math
(So I dive, dive deep)
Every flaw, every fact
(‘Til my soul speaks free)
And the whole sky answers back
If I don’t know me
I’m just driftin’ past my lane
So I look in, look again
’Til the universe knows my name
