Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They stumble on these syllables I've known since birth
My name flows like water but they make it hurt
Every mispronunciation makes me laugh inside
'Cause what they fear to say is where my power lies
[Pre-chorus]
Ana hoon, can't you see?
The strength that runs in me
My identity's not yours to tame
Not here to play your game
[Chorus]
Can't pronounce my name? (Watch me rise)
But you'll remember me (Till you die)
Can't pronounce my name? (That's alright)
Still gonna make you say it all night
Yeah, you'll remember me
[Verse 2]
Built my own damn kingdom from the ground up high
Let them trip and fall while I touch the sky
Every letter sacred, every sound divine
Not a single piece of me I'll leave behind
[Pre-chorus]
Ana hoon, watch me be
Everything they can't see
My legacy's not yours to claim
Not here to play your game
[Chorus]
Can't pronounce my name? (Watch me rise)
But you'll remember me (Till you die)
Can't pronounce my name? (That's alright)
Still gonna make you say it all night
Yeah, you'll remember me
[Breakdown]
[Traditional oud solo]
Let it ring through your bones
Through the streets I call home
Every letter, every sound
Sacred ground, sacred ground
[Bridge]
They can try to change me
Try to rearrange me
But my name's my crown
And I won't bow down
[Chorus]
Can't pronounce my name? (Watch me rise)
But you'll remember me (Till you die)
Can't pronounce my name? (That's alright)
Still gonna make you say it all night
Yeah, you'll remember me
