Lyrical Analysis of...
That’s me
- [Verse 1]
- Look at me, I’m the one
- Walk in, room get done
- Same old doubts? I outrun
- Big step, then I’m gone
- I got scars on my sleeves
- Still I move how I please
- Talk cheap, but I breathe
- Cold stare, warm dreams
- I been bent, never broke
- Heavy days, still I spoke
- Turn that pain into smoke
- Now I’m here, that’s the joke
- They said sit still, play small
- I was pacing the hall
- Reading cracks in the wall
- Learning how to take it all
- New shoes, scuffed at the toe
- Late nights, nowhere to go
- Still I kept my head low
- Then I put on the show
- I came up on a lean year
- No applause, no clean win here
- Just a busted up front step
- And a voice that got clearer
- I kept my hands steady
- When the room got heavy
- If they wanted me ready
- I was already ready
- My own rhythm, my own beat
- Walked these streets on tired feet
- Every setback, bittersweet
- Made the victory feel complete
- Didn't wait for an invitation
- Built my own damn foundation
- Ignored all the hesitation
- Now I'm my own destination
- I wore the same black jacket
- Pocket torn, I still kept at it
- Every room tried to size me up
- I was already past it
- Learned to smile with a split lip
- Keep it moving, let the stiff slip
- If the whole world said "not yet"
- I was already in it
- [Pre Chorus]
- They tried to box me in
- I cut right through the seam
- I don’t need their approval
- I been building my own dream
- I don’t chase their sign off
- I learned how to stand tall
- Every door I got shut
- Made the next one less hard
- [Chorus]
- That’s me, that’s me
- Can’t nobody fade me
- That’s me, that’s me
- Built it from the debris
- That’s me, that’s me
- Still standing lately
- Say my name, say it clean
- Yeah, that’s me, that’s me
- That’s me when the phone rings
- That’s me with the sharp edge
- That’s me with the loose change
- And the keys on the bench
- [Verse 2]
- I know my flaws, I know
- Still I watch myself grow
- Every loss that I chose
- Turned to fuel in the glow
- I’m the laugh after rain
- I’m the scar, I’m the gain
- I’m the fire in my veins
- I don’t fold, I don’t change
- If the path get steep
- I just dig my feet
- When they count me out
- I make history repeat
- I missed a few, kept score
- Came back asking for more
- Knocked, they left the door
- So I learned to build my own
- I don’t need a crown
- I just need solid ground
- When the whole thing shakes down
- I’m the one that stays around
- I know the cost, I paid it
- Same hands that made it
- Had to take the long way
- Had to let it be faded
- Now the room knows my name
- Not from luck, not from fame
- Just the work and the strain
- And the fact I remained
- [Pre Chorus]
- They tried to box me in
- I cut right through the seam
- I don’t need their approval
- I been building my own dream
- I don’t ask for a handout
- I bring what I got now
- Every step that I laid down
- Told me I could stand proud
- [Chorus]
- That’s me, that’s me
- Can’t nobody fade me
- That’s me, that’s me
- Built it from the debris
- That’s me, that’s me
- Still standing lately
- Say my name, say it clean
- Yeah, that’s me, that’s me
- That’s me when the lights cut
- That’s me with no backup
- That’s me, still showing up
- Even when it gets rough
- [Bridge]
- If I fall, I rise
- No disguise, no lies
- I been mine all along
- That’s why I stay strong
- If the floor gives way
- I find another way
- I don’t need a straight line
- I just need today
- [Chorus]
- That’s me, that’s me
- Can’t nobody fade me
- That’s me, that’s me
- Built it from the debris
- That’s me, that’s me
- Still standing lately
- Say my name, say it clean
- Yeah, that’s me, that’s me
