What is a name?
A label that defines a person
Describes them flawlessly
Yet it also confines them
Puts them in a box
Live up to your name
A name serves an important purpose
To call you
To haunt you
Because names stick forever
Like glue
They follow you like a dog
You own the name?
Or does the name own you
Don't let a word define you
Drag you down with it

What is a name?
A label that defines a person
Describes them flawlessly
Yet it also confines them
Puts them in a box
Live up to your name
A name serves an important purpose
To call you
To haunt you
Because names stick forever
Like glue
They follow you like a dog
You own the name?
Or does the name own you
Don't let a word define you
Drag you down with it
Been a while
