Say My Name Twice (versión 2) – Lil Cassiel

Intro

Four a.m., the block still breathing, streetlight flickers slow

Cassiel — remember that, you'll need it when I go

Verse

Grew up counting cracks up in the ceiling, not the sheep

Momma working doubles, I was raised on borrowed sleep

Corner store on credit, IOU behind the counter

Every dollar that I touched I turned it to an ounce of

Hunger, something bigger, something louder than the block

Wrote my name in Sharpie on the wall behind the lock

Now they askin' how I did it, how I climbed from nothin' flat

Broken watch still tickin', I was racing time like that

Ninety-six hour weeks, stacking pennies into towers

Turned my doubt to diesel, turned my silence into powers

Every no I got, I filed underneath my proof

Built my whole foundation out the shade beneath the roof

Now the ceiling that I stared at is the sky I'm reaching for

Kicked the door so many times it don't remember locks no more

Every step I take I leave a print they gotta trace

Say it once for memory, then say it twice for face

Hook

Say my name twice, once ain't enough
