I’M THAT GUY
[Intro]
Yeah…
They used to ask me what I’m chasing
Guess they see it now
[Verse 1]
Back then, they ain’t really pay me no mind
Now I walk in, hear ’em saying, “Damn, you shine”
Funny how they show up when the timing gets right
Where were you when I was working every night?
Long days, late shifts, still chasing something
Everybody had opinions, nobody was building nothing
Had a dream too big for the place I was stuck in
Now I’m betting on myself, got the whole thing running
[Pre-Chorus]
I remember nights nobody called my phone
Now they hit me up like we go way back home
Funny how it goes, funny how it goes
Now they wanna know what I’ve been working on
[Chorus]
I’m that guy
Used to dream about it, now I’m living my life
I’m that guy
Still got a long way, but I’m getting it right
I came too far to turn back now
Put too much work in to slow back down
They can talk, they can doubt, they can watch from the side
I’m still gonna be that guy
Oh-oh-oh
I’m still gonna be that guy
[Verse 2]
I ain’t talking money, I ain’t talking fame
I’m talking ‘bout becoming who I said I’d be one day
Had some bad breaks, had some people change
Had to find a little fire in the middle of the rain
Still got scars that I don’t show
Still got miles on this long-ass road
I ain’t where I wanna be, but I’m not where I was
And I’m finally seeing what the hard work does
[Pre-Chorus]
I remember nights nobody called my phone
Now they hit me up like we go way back home
Funny how it goes, funny how it goes
Now they wanna know what I’ve been working on
[Chorus]
I’m that guy
Used to dream about it, now I’m living my life
I’m that guy
Still got a long way, but I’m getting it right
I came too far to turn back now
Put too much work in to slow back down
They can talk, they can doubt, they can watch from the side
I’m still gonna be that guy
[Bridge]
I know what it feels like
When nothing goes right
When you’re up against the world
Still showing up to fight
I kept going when nobody knew
Now I’m closer than I ever was
And I’m not done breaking through
[Final Chorus]
I’m that guy
Used to dream about it, now I’m living my life
I’m that guy
Still got a long way, but I’m getting it right
I came too far to turn back now
Put too much work in to slow back down
They can talk, they can doubt, they can watch from the side
I’m still gonna be that guy
Oh-oh-oh
I’m still gonna be that guy
You ain’t seen nothing yet
I’m still gonna be that guy
[Outro]
Yeah…
They used to ask me what I’m chasing
Guess they see it now
