Calendar page flipped, light on the wall
Red circle breathin, I been ready for it all
Morning sun hit the date like a sign
Ain't out yet but I know it's mine
Backstage wristband hangin
My name big font on the banner
Whole world chant my handle
I walk slow, crowd move faster
Tour bus parked by the tunnel
Whole team packed like a huddle
Security talk in they mics
But I still feel every rumble
From the floor to the nosebleeds shaking
Phone lights up like a wave in the making
Mama on a plane, yeah she made that flight
Whole school watchin when I step to the mic
World wants my name, I feel it in the air
Ain't heard it yet, but it's already there
Lights not on, still I see the flare
World wants my name, I'm ready for the weight
Written on the date, written in the flame
This ain't a hope, it's a callin I claim
Ain't out yet, still they feel the same
World wants my name, world wants my name
World wants my name
Fan sign, table full of markers
Little kid hands me a worn-out poster
Said"I wrote these bars in my notebook too
Tryna be big, tryna be like you"
I laugh, write big on the corner"Dream loud" in a circle for the aura
Selfies stuck in my jaw like a workout
Still I pose, still I hold when they shout out
Airport gates like a meet and greet
Customs know me, they repeat that speech"Where you headed?""Anywhere with a stage"
Passport thick like the lines on my face
World wants my name, I feel it in the air
Ain't heard it yet, but it's already there
Lights not on, still I see the flare
World wants my name, I'm ready for the weight
Written on the date, written in the flame
This ain't a hope, it's a callin I claim
Ain't out yet, still they feel the same
World wants my name, world wants my name
World wants my name
Is this fame or a mirror?
Every cheer show the fear I bury
Heavy crown, but the glow feels necessary
Every night, different flight, same story
I look up, see my name on the rafters
Think of days I would rap in the bathroom after
School bell, now it's sold-out banners
Whole globe tuned in to my answers
World wants my name, I feel it in the air
Ain't heard it yet, but it's already there
Lights not on, still I see the flare
World wants my name, I'm ready for the weight
Written on the date, written in the flame
This ain't a hope, it's a callin I claim
Ain't out yet, still they feel the same
World wants my name, world wants my name
World wants my name
They call it daydreaming
I call it somethin I built by hand
You don't know that greed
I feel it right before it's real
