[Intro]
If you don't know it by now
You’re gonna figure it out
[Verse 1]
I'll always be a high hoping, slow fading
Wide-open, gonna make it just a little late
I'Il always bring a style to it, second-guessing
Smile through it, still stepping with a lot of faith
[Chorus]
(If you don’t know it)
If you don't know it by now
(Baby, by now)
You're gonna figure it out
[Verse 2]
I shine when no one else is looking, fire maker
Still cooking years later, fuck the spotlight
I'Il always be a wallflower, big dreamer
Self-empowered, shy and ready to put up a fight (Fight)
[Chorus]
(If you don't know it)
If you don't know it by now
Know it by now, mmm (If you don't know it)
You're gonna figure it out
(Figure it out)
(By now, if you don’t know it)
You don’t know it
If you don't know it by now (Know it by now)
(By now, if you don’t know it)
You're gonna figure it out
[Outro]
They don't see it
But I don't pay them any mind
They don’t know it
I'll be here for a long long time
They don't see it
I always take them by surprise
They don't know it but I'lI be coming with the fire
They don't see it, see me coming
Once they know it
They'll come running
It started out with this drum groove—then turned into this thing where the vocals got larger and then you have the horns come in. It’s like a playful dialogue between these instruments, whether it’s the guitar or the flugelhorns or the vocals—they’re all just playing off each other.
