Are you proud of me?
Tell me, tell me, yeah tell me that you're proud
Are you proud of me?
Tell me, tell me, yeah tell me that you're proud of me
Shoulda known, shoulda known
Tell me that you're proud
Say it like you mean it
You know I need it
You know I need it
Tell me that you're proud
Say it like you mean it
You know I need it

[Verse 1]
Tell me everything I want to hear
I'm feeling insecure
Planned my future for the fall
But I'm still unsure
Sometimes I want to go
Some days I want to stay
Ever since you came
Things ain't really been the same
Liked how you were different
Told me to put my dreams first
Trynna skip a day job
Ain't no time to rehearse
Been reminiscing on the past I need to reverse
Starting finding happiness when music was my main source
I've been eating skip the main course
Went from the stands to balling up on the same courts
As the artists that I was watching growing up
They think I'm close to being done
But I'm just starting up
Yeah, see I can never give enough
I can only give it all
I've been waiting for the moment that I finally get that call
Half of it is timing
Myself is who I'm finding
Just tell me that you're proud
Even if it ain't the truth
[Hook]
Are you proud of me?
Tell me, tell me, yeah tell me that you're proud
Are you proud of me?
Tell me, tell me, yeah tell me that you're proud of me
Shoulda known, shoulda known
Tell me that you're proud
Say it like you mean it
You know I need it
You know I need it
Tell me that you're proud
Say it like you mean it
You know I need it

[Verse 2]
I've been caught up in the motions
Losing my emotion
Hold myself together with these notions ain't no potion for the life
As a kid I was left out now I'm only right
The ones that made life hell
Got me here despite that
I learned to fight back and never take their shit
Tryna go from being broke to being the one that's fixed
In the crowd is where I'm midst
They hoping that I miss
But when I play I'm like Lebron I never need assists
Likewise, I'm never missing heat
Used to talk my music up
And now I let it speak
While I'm being honest I will tell you what I think
I can never say this but I hate to see you drink
That's just on my mind
Couldn't say it to your face
If I could there'd be memories I'd erase
Still I'm searching for myself
Tryna find my place
In the end I hope you're proud of everything I made
[Hook]
Are you proud of me?
Tell me, tell me, yeah tell me that you're proud
Are you proud of me?
Tell me, tell me, yeah tell me that you're proud of me
Shoulda known, shoulda known
Tell me that you're proud
Say it like you mean it
You know I need it
You know I need it
Tell me that you're proud
Say it like you mean it
You know I need it
