No Stage Name

Hook: No stage name needed, just the flame and the cause, I carry the Cross, cuz Christ Jesus is Boss, of all bosses, The cost of Salvation is paid, Bloodshed meant to Save from the Lamb who was slain, No stage name needed, just the flame and the cause, I carry the Cross, cuz Christ Jesus is Boss, of all bosses, Look at me and know that I'm changed, Only name that I need is the one that He gave   Verse 1: Let me introduce myself for those who don't know me, I slayed myself so I could live holy, the old me, Had to go, not for show, but my Christ-volume was turned down super low, Had to boost it way up, drop the worldy stuff, Satan was in my face, had to call his bluff, Actin tough, but I found out that he ain't rough, Only could see that once Bracey had enough   Well enough was enough for me, There came a time I had enough of me, Screwin everything up for me, The only one I could blame was me, I turned around, only thing I could see was me, I, had to find a way to free myself, In my heart, Lord, I need Your help, Take away my identity, The only name I need's the one You gave to me,   Verse 2: Those who knew me would tell you that I was all about me, I just couldn't see, Until I really "g-o-t G-O-D," I got to Him, by way of "JC" who gave me the "HG" That did a new thang within "MB" I used to rely totally on "m-e" Thought I was strong carryin' on, but so fast I got weak, I looked down and saw footprints movin across the beach, And arms lifted me above so the flood could never reach, Who is the one of whom I speak? If you don't know who I'm talkin' bout' when I lyrically preach, Everything that He taught, understand that's all that I teach, Just to be a step closer to the one I beseech, He's the Ancient of Days, the Lamb that was slain, And you can't take that to the bank, He didn't die in vain, Yes, I share in His glory, cuz I also share in His pain, Got my share of eternal life cuz I believe in His name.   Verse 3: People ask me how I changed my attitude, They say, "Bracey, ain't ya' friends mad at you?" Do they hate you cuz you up and changed ya' game, and left street fame just to take Jesus' name, I say, "I realized I'm not my own, That I'm passin' thru, this is not my home." Nothin' this world could ever give to me, Could be better than knowing that He lives in me,   And I live through Him, when I sing or I spit, My fuse is lit, He's the heat behind all of my hits, Got my soul out the grave, now my name's on The List, And I preach a Free Gift on licks from Platinum Tips, "Who's Platinum Tips?" "He's that dude that made that beat for Bracey, that joint is crazy, Yo ain't you Bracey?" "Yeah" "Dude!  Man your tracks amaze me!" "Me? Man, yo it's all cuz of Jesus baby!"   Breakdown: Why do I need a stage name when I can come in His name, Call me what you want, I ain't nothin but a slave, Unashamed and I proclaim that I love my chains, I ain't worried bout a thang, so , I'ma keep it plain. - 2x
