Lyrics

[Intro] Eh-eh, ah! Step in, make room [Verse 1: Female] You see the way I enter, shoulders set No borrowed shine, no unpaid debt I learned my pace on a long hard road Now every move says what I know [Pre-Chorus: Female, Male response] (F) If you came to test me, come correct (M) Come correct (F) I keep my word and I earn respect (M) Earn respect (F) When the drum rolls low, I take my place (M) Take your place (F) One small smile, then I set the pace (F) I know my level, I know my level (M) She knows her level, she knows her level (F) Feet on the ground but my aim stays high (M) Aim stays high (F) I know my level, I know my level (M) He knows his level, he knows his level (F) Move to the left, let the whole room rise (Both) I know my level, no need to tell me I built this name with my own two hands I know my level, come dance beside me When the log drum drops, we take our chance [Verse 2: Male] From the early bus to the late-night set Kept my head cool, never lost my step Auntie said, “Child, let your work speak clear” Now the whole place sings when the bass comes near [Pre-Chorus: Male, Female response] (M) If you came to test me, come correct (F) Come correct (M) I keep my word and I earn respect (F) Earn respect (M) When the drum rolls low, I take my place (F) Take your place (M) One small smile, then I set the pace (F) I know my level, I know my level (M) She knows her level, she knows her level (F) Feet on the ground but my aim stays high (M) Aim stays high (F) I know my level, I know my level (M) He knows his level, he knows his level (F) Move to the left, let the whole room rise (Both) I know my level, no need to tell me I built this name with my own two hands I know my level, come dance beside me When the log drum drops, we take our chance [Dance Break: Both] Left, right, turn it around Small-small step, now bring it down Hands up high, then touch the floor Log drum talking, give me one more (F) No crown needed, I stand tall (M) No loud promise, I give my all (F) You can feel that truth when I walk in (Both) I know where I’m going, let the dance begin [Final Chorus: Female and Male] (F) I know my level, I know my level (M) She knows her level, she knows her level (F) Feet on the ground but my aim stays high (M) Aim stays high (F) I know my level, I know my level (M) He knows his level, he knows his level (F) Move to the left, let the whole room rise (Both) I know my level, no need to tell me I built this name with my own two hands I know my level, come dance beside me When the log drum drops, we take our chance I know my level Eh-eh, I know my level
