sinning in Your name Lyrics

Grandpa changed the name

Back in the day, became Sabir

Had to put a message

Out to all the dealers

In his peers

Had to show he'd

Do it sober

Wouldn't touch that

Dirty soda money

Sitting on his shoulders

I can see his motives clear

Cause it's 2022

And I got the same noose

Dealing with the same dudes

And they pay the same dues

Old money dirty money, coming in

Gotta choose

Live up to the name Sabir

Or go sinning for the views

When it's time to

Make a move

You should know I'm

Coming stronger

Cause I can't afford to lose

So I'll make this

Money longer

I just pray the Lord

Forgive me

While I make my

Ego stronger

And I pray they won't

Forget me

When they seeing me

Go farther

Father, Krishna

I ain't got an option

Family gonna gossip

And my momma be watching

As the clock ticks I gotta

Show that I'm popping

Pressure for the profit is

Overtaking my confidence

Dealing with comparisons

I had to get arrogant

Made my ego bigger

Just to guard against

Embarrassment

But that's my inheritance

First-gen American

Dancing on a string as

A white man's experiment

Lemme change the rhetoric

Lemme be the evidence

Shows where I'm

Selling out the door

Feeling eminent

I won't be irrelevant

Flow is so heaven sent

Sinning in Your name

Cause the game's about

Your relevance

Saw my dad jealous cause

My uncle's a producer

But now he clout chasing

Cause that fame be Medusa

Some days I'm looser

Some days I'm Buddha

Devil on my shoulder

Says I'm getting older

Ain't where I wanna be

I feel like I'm not

Great enough

Family is onto me

I think they just

Can't wait enough

Know I'm bound for greatness

Fuck the money

I done made enough

Do this for the kid sitting

Alone who wasn't brave enough

Grew up we were struggling

I had to get hustling

Saw my dad cry cause

The jobs he was juggling

Told him I would

Get it right

Knew I was in

Trouble when

I felt my world crash

Ego death, I was fumbling

Thank God, thank God

That I kept it going

I knew I had a mission

I was waiting for

My moment

My dad's dad started

This journey, and now I own it

Now I'm back, back

Taking my story

I'm here to show it

I been

Dealing with comparisons

I had to get arrogant

Made my ego bigger

Just to guard against

Embarrassment

But that's my inheritance

First-gen American

Dancing on a string as

A white man's experiment

Lemme change the rhetoric

Lemme be the evidence

Shows where I'm

Selling out the door

Feeling eminent

I won't be irrelevant

Flow is so heaven sent

Sinning in Your name

Cause the game's about

Your relevance
