Say My Name Twice (버전 2) – Young Ferro

Intro

Two a.m., the dashboard glow

they never thought I'd make it, so

say my name twice (twice)

say it slow

Verse

Cold fries in the passenger seat, twelve dollars in my palm,

counting quarters at the red light, keeping quiet, keeping calm.

Momma worked the night shift, I could smell the diner grease,

teachers said I'd fold like laundry, wrote me off like I was cheap.

I was sleeping on a sofa with a spring inside my spine,

scribbling in a notebook while the whole block toed the line.

Coach benched me for the season, said my footwork wasn't quick,

now the same man in the bleachers watch me carry every brick.

Uncle said the music was a lottery, a wish,

now the ceiling in his kitchen shaking hard from my playlist.

Every "no" a nail I hammered into something I could climb,

turned the doubt into a ladder, turned the pressure into shine.

Rearview full of exits that I never took, I stayed,

same corner store, same streetlight, but I'm counting different pay.

They was betting on my funeral, I bought myself a lease,

tell the ones who wouldn't clap for me the boy became the beast.

Chorus

Say my name twice, watch it echo in the night,

Ferro, Ferro, told you I would get it right.

All the ones who doubted, now they memorize the sound,

say my name twice (twice), I'ma say it 'til it's loud.

Verse

Third gear on the highway, city fading in the mist,

I remember every whisper, kept a ledger, kept a list.

Girl who left in autumn 'cause my pockets ran on empty,

now the autumn leaves are gold and, funny, everybody friendly.

I don't answer to the maybe, don't reply to the "one day,"

I was cooking in the silence while they laughing in the doorway.

Banker slid the paper back, said "son, you got no history,"

now my signature's a landmark and my come-up is a mystery.

I ain't flexing for the feature, I'm just filling in the blanks,

every scar a little lesson, every setback earned my thanks.

Little brother watching close, so I keep the message clean,

show him you can leave the bottom without leaving who you been.

Windows down, the wind confessing everything I lost,

paid the price in sleepless mornings, know the color of the cost.

They forgot me in the winter, watch me bloom outside the frost,

put my back against the wall until the wall became the boss.

Chorus

Say my name twice, watch it echo in the night,

Ferro, Ferro, told you I would get it right.

All the ones who doubted, now they memorize the sound,

say my name twice (twice), I'ma say it 'til it's loud.

Bridge

No spotlight, just a phone light and a dream I couldn't quit,

every prayer I whispered nightly, look, it finally caught a fit.

I'm not bitter, I'm just certain, I remember where I stood,

so the next time that you say it, say it slow and say it good.

Outro

Two a.m., the dashboard glow,

told you, told you, now you know.

Say my name twice (twice)

say it slow.
