“The Name” is a worship-filled aggressive track about exalting the name of the Lord, the work the Lord has done on KB’s life, and God’s protection. This track marks the first collaboration between KB and Koryn Hawthorne.
It features uncredited vocals on the chorus by Quinten Coblentz, who also did...
[Intro: Quinten Coblentz & KB]
All my heavy chains gettin' broken
Come exalt Your—(Yeah)
[Verse 1: KB]
Made my bed and I dug my grave
You've done work with the folk, myself
I saw God 2-double-0-8
Been gettin' wilder, yeah, to this day
I got no shame in my face
I regret to not give thanks
HGA, man, whatever it take
On my name, that's my gain
All day, goin' psycho (Psycho)
On top of the key, go iso (Iso)
Man, just tryna go disciple, uh
You just tryna go viral
You tryna build you up an empire, uh
Kick it more, you gon' revive us? No
Dust in the wind, let it blow away
Sun comes out, all the stars gotta go away
[Chorus: Quinten Coblentz, Quinten Coblentz & Koryn Hawthorne]
All my heavy chains gettin' broken (Hey)
And my weary heart's given hope
Come exalt Your Name
Exalt Your Name
All my prison doors swingin' open (Hey)
'Cause the enemy couldn't hold
Come exalt Your Name
Exalt Your Name
[Verse 2: KB]
Yeah
"Remember my God," what I wrote in my will
Break my bones, never break my zeal
Take my home, you can take my deal
Filled with the Ghost, so I say what I feel
We don't talk, tryna make it to the top
Get there, find God holdin' that spot
I work hard and I'm good what I got
I'm a rapper when the doctor said that I wouldn't talk
Uh, cold as the wind chill
Thirteen, I was thrown through a windshield (Kee)
Every day that I'm still healed, uh
You could be Lord, I could be still, uh
Need You more if I'm payin' my bills
Need no preacher, come give me no chills
Give me Your face, Lord, give me Your will
Honesty is free and the soul get healed
In this mug tryna OD
My freedom's Your glory
When it's goin' left, Ginóbili
Still doin' what You told me
Puttin' all the pieces back together
You will not forget us, how You called me
Know You wrappin' up the story
[Chorus: Quinten Coblentz & Koryn Hawthorne]
All my heavy chains gettin' broken (Hey)
And my weary heart's given hope
Come exalt Your Name
Exalt Your Name
All my prison doors swingin' open (Hey)
'Cause the enemy couldn't hold
Come exalt Your Name
Exalt Your Name
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: Quinten Coblentz & Koryn Hawthorne]
All my heavy chains gettin' broken (Hey)
And my weary heart's given hope
Come exalt Your Name
Exalt Your Name
All my prison doors swingin' open (Hey)
'Cause the enemy couldn't hold
Come exalt Your Name
Exalt Your Name
[Outro: Quinten Coblentz, Koryn Hawthorne, Both]
Forever (Forever)
And ever (And ever)
Your glory (Your glory)
Of heaven
Come exalt Your Name
Your Name, Your Name
(Exalt Your Name) Your Name, Your Name
Forgive us (Forgive us)
Defend us (Defend us)
Come lift us (Come lift us)
We live to exalt Your Name
Your Name, Your Name
(Exalt Your Name) Your Name
The Name was written by Cardec Drums & Quinten Coblentz & Wes Writer & Koryn Hawthorne & KB.
The Name was produced by Cardec Drums & Quinten Coblentz & Wes Writer.
Back in January I was playing around with some ideas for Quinten Coblentz the artist (who remembers him?). I made a beat with a bit of a Crowder-ish feel (even added some live banjo in the background!) and wrote this hook, thinking “Call Your Name” was gonna be my big CCM single in 2020.
But before...
