First of all, there's already a popular reggae artist named Elephant Man
Second, as my mother always said,
there's nothing cooler than being yourself.
And third, and most importantly
(clears throat)
Chorus (2X)
F-F-F-F-f*** an MC Name
I don't need no god d*** MC Name
I got nothing to hide, you got something to say
(George Watsky doesn't need a f****** MC Name)
Verse 1
If I go spit a poem
If I go kick a flow
Doesn't really matter man cause the jam is a Watsky
When I get a mic and I go rip a rhythm ain't a name
in the whole d*** gonna stop me
Probably gonna rip it too
Cause the city wants a hippy with a bit to prove
I got s*** to do
I got the sickest crew
And so what the f*** is it to you, dude
If I got no stage name
I got stage game out the a**
And a masterplan
It's an avalanche
When I spit a little bit of slam
And I hit you with the battleram
Got a cattle brand "GW bar none" so what do you park man?
Got money and cars? d***, I study the stars
and I couldn't care less who you rep in your set show respect
I'll be rapping I bet
Lean to the left flow right Oh my god!
A rose by any name got thorns as sharp
Yo, stage names are for p**** stars
And Watskeet skeet skeet skeet is far
From what I'm trying to do ,Who I'm trying to be
Mother f f f f*** this industry
If I gotta be MC U to do MC Me
(George Watsky MP3)
F-F-F-F-f*** the limit I got a keep it coming if I wanna make it to the top
So I be giving you what I been doing during the minutes
that other rappers have been napping on the clock
Cause if I walk the walk and I talk the talk and I'm
popping off cause my flow is hot
Then I'm pretty m************ positive I never gotta
call myself somebody I'm not
Chorus
Verse 2
What's in a name man, flow comes first
I'm never gonna curse - that I got it worst when I roam the earth
It's a ridiculous coincidence that shows my worth
You know my parents went and chose my emcee name at birth
(3) I don't need a mask
to cover my a**
So why would you ask?
Go put me on blast
I'll take you to task
This name is my last
(gasp) so put it on my tombstone when I pass
(Here lies a fine emcee, the kind who grasps the fact
that these aren't circus acts to make you clap,
it's rap to make you think and act)
I think you understand by now the thought involved
That if I wanted to be called another name I would
have scrawled it on the bathroom wall
I'm not apologizing for a policy that makes a college
kid go call himself Thugdog and not expect a**ault
I'm marching on and calling all dissenters who
Would like to be included in this emcee designation coup
I'm set to get a crew
we're gonna get a clue and then we'll put it up for you to view
coo coo ca choo
i am the "insert you"
come on everybody do it too
Chorus
Bridge
I invoke the spirits of the great nameless emcees who came before me:
tupac shakur
ali shaheed muhammad
sean price
saul williams
dahlak brathwaite
michael franti
gabriel teodros
joell ortiz
mike jones
mike shinoda from Linkin Park
I invoke the spirits of the great nameless professional
athletes turned rappers who came before me:
Deion Sanders
roy jones, jr.
shaquille o'neal
I invoke the spirits of the great nameless white emcees who came before me:
fred durst
aaron carter
kevin federline
ommm
