My Name Is - Crucifix

Yeah, I feel I’ve been doing this for a lifetime

But y’all still don’t know my name

But you gon' learn today

It all started back in 1994 boy

A young kid growin' up in a war boy

Starin' death in the eye toe to toe boy

Duckin' bullets with my face to the floor boy

I done been to the lowest you can go boy

I lost everything in life but my soul boy

That’s why I’ll never ever rap like a dope boy

Survived killers with AK’s and grenades in a rage at my door boy

I started rappin' because the pain was deep

And I done seen too much bloodshed to sleep

So I’m geeked to the peak with no words to speak

And all I feel is defeat while I grind my teeth like

Somebody gotta bleed on somebody’s beat

Somebody might as well be me, be me

I took a number like I’m meant for the top

I’m ready to drop this spot so hot they can’t stop me

Inevitable that when you pop you got a world of friends

Never thinkin' about the time that you be puttin' in

Now the world and everybody is wonder where you been

But the truth is they just ain’t been listening

I’m a little bit of Pac, a little bit of Bone

A little bit of David in the Psalms writin' songs

A little Outkast, Johnny Cash and some Pastor

Call it Vice Versa, reverse the past

My music is therapy to poison the pain

And every song like a piece of me, ain’t lookin' for fame

I ain’t never thought about selling my soul for this game

But I’m gonna spit so hard that it knows name is

Crucifix, my name, my name is, my name is

Crucifix, my name, my name is, my name is

Crucifix, my name, my name is, my name is

A daily reminder the pain that’s inside of me keeps on dividin' me 'til I nail

it to the Crucifix

I started for the love of the music because it helped me

I was born with struggle in my blood and I know it’s out to kill me

Nineteen with a dream ain’t gon' back down

Writin' raps on the toilet of a crack house

Spittin' verses at the cops while they pat down

Runnin' by the moment like I’m livin' in the freestyle

It’s like I’m shootin' every word that’s said

It’s like I’m aimin' at the stars but inside I’m dead

It’s like I’m hangin' onto nothin' but the beats I’m fed

I’m conversatin' with the roaches that share my bed

I got nothin' in this life but a mountain

With people thinkin' that I’ll never make it so they’re doubtin'

I’ve given so much that I been stopped countin'

I sold my only car just to print my first album, ahh

Now that’s a gamble when no one cares

I put it all out on the table homie I ain’t scared

People talkin' about, «This dude came from where?»

It’s been decade since I dropped My Life’s Prayer

I’m like a little bit of Biggie, and a little bit of Nas

A little Lynyrd Skynrd with a little Goodie Mob

A little Youngbloodz in the mud, smokin' bud

«If you don’t give a damn, we don’t give a fuck!»

My music is therapy to poison the pain

And every song is like a piece of me, ain’t lookin' for fame

I ain’t never thought about sellin' my soul for this game

But I’m gonna spit so hard that it knows name is

Crucifix, my name, my name is, my name is

Crucifix, my name, my name is, my name is

Crucifix, my name, my name is, my name is

A daily reminder the pain that’s inside of me keeps on dividin' me 'til I nail

it to the Crucifix

I take that X, put if off, put it off

I take that X, put if off, put it off

I take that X, put if off, put it off

I take that X, put if off, put it off

Crucifix, my name, my name is, my name is

Crucifix, my name, my name is, my name is

Crucifix, my name, my name is, my name is

A daily reminder the pain that’s inside of me keeps on dividin' me 'til I nail

it to the Crucifix
