Built around Going from invisible to unforgettable, now everyone in the room knows who you are before you walk in. Street Wire's raw, unfiltered production carries the concept through hip-hop that rewards repeat listens. "Now it opens with my first name and a hope that I'll return" — the kind of line that sticks in your head three days later. The mood runs commanding, powerful, iconic. Genre showcases on Majik's aren't filler — they're proof that independent music can carry real emotional weight when the lyrics and production align.
[verse 1]
I used to walk in rooms and not a head would turn
Now the room adjusts its posture when it sees my name confirm
The hostess checks the list but she already knew
The table's set the champagne's cold the view is overdue
I didn't chase the fame I chased the mastery
The fame just followed like a shadow naturally
Every handshake now comes with a sir or mister
The same lips that dismissed me now deliver
[chorus]
They know my name before I walk through the door
They know my name they've heard the stories before
I didn't shout it from the mountain I let the work echo
They know my name in every room I enter now
They know my name and there ain't no forgetting how
I went from zero to the one they all know
They know my name
[verse 2]
The email used to say to whom it may concern
Now it opens with my first name and a hope that I'll return
The conference that rejected my proposal in year one
Just named a panel after me and asked me what I've done
Reputation is the currency that compounds overnight
When the work is undeniable the name becomes the light
I walk through airports and a stranger says respect
That's the dividend of decades that my doubters didn't get
[chorus]
They know my name before I walk through the door
They know my name they've heard the stories before
I didn't shout it from the mountain I let the work echo
They know my name in every room I enter now
They know my name and there ain't no forgetting how
I went from zero to the one they all know
They know my name
[bridge]
A name is just a word until you give it weight
Until you stack the evidence upon the syllables
Until the sound of it carries more than letters
Carries legacy carries proof carries better
Now say it with me
[chorus]
They know my name before I walk through the door
They know my name they've heard the stories before
I didn't shout it from the mountain I let the work echo
They know my name in every room I enter now
They know my name and there ain't no forgetting how
I went from zero to the one they all know
They know my name
[outro]
Say my name
Yeah you know it
Say my name
They all know it
