In Your Name

I wanna make it everlasting So when I'm long gone I hope I'll be remembered in time, as a king Who hoped for more than glory and shine And a dream, but I still ain't even touching my prime And by design, I understand success is all relative Eventually I had to find my truth Flashback to LA, I was lost and jealous But these bars that I'm spitting gonna provide you the proof Gather round, let me tell you what I'm about I'm a sinner, I'm a saint, who ain't figured it out I gotta dream, I gotta goal, but trouble seeing the route That's why my team can't stand times when they seeing me doubt And so I, I put my thoughts on a page Hope the world hear my story See it's not for the fame But it's more for the climb, everything in due time I echo this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name So if this is my last flow Visualizing stamps all on my passport I don't want no advance I just build from the ground floor I sound more, just like an artist, who's been starving for years And I'm starting to see now that I'm out-rapping my peers And me writing to you now is just me facing my fears It took me to a darker place I'm talking heaven to hell After Confessions and New York, my mind was locked in a cell Wasn't concerned with the issue whether or not I'm gon sell Remember flipping through my notebooks feeling like these raps stale And that's deep for ya Red ink out my pen And I bleed for ya And it's funny how these phony niggas seem loyal What else can I say? My mind goes back to better times when I was rapping with Trei But then I made Brighter, felt I had a lock on the game You pulled me back and reminded me that, that It's all this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name So Dear Lord I'm coming to you now And I'm asking you, please forgive me for all my sins And if I ever start to doubt myself Please, please stop it before it ever begins I understand that's it's your will Sometimes I forget that it's not mine Nobody can tell me that you're not real The strength behind everything that I jot down I put it in your hands, Lord I can't see it all I gotta have some faith I know you got some plans, Lord It don't matter if they rip it apart Cause deep down, I know it's the purest form of my heart And to those, who speaking ill on my name I'm praying that you give them guidance not a heart of disdain No longer playing with my blessing, no longer stressing I echo this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name All this in your name
