Everybody Knows My Name
Bride Lyrics

Everybody knows my name, everybody wants the fame
Despite my humble beginnings, my name and fame have spread far and wide, making me a target for attention and admiration.

Everybody wants to see, everybody wants a piece of me
People are drawn to the image and persona I've cultivated, and they all want a chance to experience it for themselves.

Everybody wants the fun, everybody sees the gun
Everyone is attracted to the excitement and thrill of my lifestyle, but they often overlook the danger and violence that come with it.

Everybody be so kind, still got my piece of mind
Despite the many demands and pressures placed upon me, I am still able to maintain my sense of self and inner peace.

Everybody can you feel my pain
Although many people may envy or admire my life, they cannot truly understand the challenges and hardships I have faced in order to achieve this level of success.

I was born a poor boy, left home when I was four
My upbringing was marked by extreme poverty and early abandonment, which forced me to learn to fend for myself from a very young age.

Momma never named me so I never was for sure
My mother's absence in my life left me without a true sense of identity or belonging, which has shaped my search for recognition and validation from others.

I learned to read enough to know life was not so kind
Through my own experiences and education, I grew to understand that the world can be harsh and unforgiving, especially for those without status or power.

All I own is my guitar and my peace of mind
Despite the superficial wealth and fame I have accumulated, my true treasures are the music and inner peace that sustain me through the ups and downs of my career.

I went out into the world to find my place in life
I have always been driven by a deep desire to discover my own purpose and achieve success on my own terms, outside the constraints of my upbringing.

I'm learning more every day surviving really bites
Although I have achieved a great deal in my career, the harsh realities of life and fame have taught me that success often comes at a great cost and requires constant adaptation and growth.

They ask me for a line of coke, needles, knives and guns
Despite my fame and status, many people still view me as a source of drugs or weapons, and are willing to compromise my safety and well-being in order to achieve their own ends.

I said to myself I've found home cause this place sounds like fun
Despite the dangers and challenges of my lifestyle, I remain drawn to the excitement and inspiration that come with exploring new places and experiences.

I've seen holy rollers, midnight strollers, cops shake with fear
Through my travels and experiences, I have encountered a wide range of people and situations, including religious fanatics, thrill-seekers, and even those charged with maintaining order and safety.

I've seen high heels clicking, red lipstick, blood, sweat and tears
I have also witnessed the struggles and sacrifices of those who seek glamour and beauty, often at great emotional or physical cost.

I've read about a man who died on a cross for everybody's sins
Through my own spiritual journey, I have come to appreciate the profound sacrifice and love of Jesus Christ, who gave his life so that others might find redemption and peace.
