Intro
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 a god damn MC Name
I got nothing to hide, you got something to say
(George Watsky doesn't need a f**ing 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 damn gonna stop me
Probably gonna rip it too
Cause the city wants a hippy with a bit to prove
I got sh** 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? 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**no 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
Cause 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 motherf**ing positive I never gonna try to be 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
(what?) 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 pa**
(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
