I also wrote some song lyrics while I was there, and I really felt like God was leading me to write a prophetic song to 50 Cent. One thing to keep in mind before you read these lyrics is that while I believe these words were inspired by God, written through me, to 50 Cent, more importantly I believe the words carry a message to everyone else in this generation, including myself. A message straight to us from God’s heart. Here are some of the lyrics to a song I wound up calling “A Cheap Name”: Wisdom comes through suffering Tell me why’d you let him give you a cheap name? It’s time to come home Playtime’s over now
