Uccchh - Chokehold Lyrics

Make em choke on the name God gave you
Make em choke on the name God gave you
Make em choke on the name God gave you
Make em choke
Make em choke

Guess who's got the beat to make you go puum-puum puum-puum
Guess who's got the beat to make you go puum-puum puum

Growin up they tried their best
To tear me down
Despite my greatness
Call me names outside my namesake
Shame me for the things they wan take
They slapped on ratchet or called me ghetto
Seat at the table, i said hell no
Regardless of inflection and ignorin the tone
These names earth side, we takin em home
Shaniqua, Sharifah, Shanelle or Salim
Oluwa, Mengesha, Shontel or Raykeis
God-given, designed and based on royalty
No matter the times, can't take my name from me

Make em choke on the name God gave you
No no oppressor
Can't nothin save you
Name worn with pride as the crown grows greater
Beam cuz I'm blessed and highly favored
Onyemauchechukwu
Nobody knows God's thoughts
Chinyere is what God gave
Scream it from the mountaintops
Ezinne, it means good Lord
A name my grandma was donned
Uchenna, now don't wear it out
They call me the wish of God
Make em choke on the name God gave you
No no oppressor
Can't nothin save you
Name worn with pride as the crown grows greater
Beam cuz I'm blessed and highly favored

Reachin for water
As air constricts
I am the land too
My heritage
By fire by force
Shall it grace your lips
Names of my ancestors
Make them say it
Enunciate clearly
From then to the now
Reprinting the books
Can't erase us no how
Mi brethren, my peeps
Ndi ni le ga hu
Say his name. Say her name
Say our names in its truth
Zari, Niyankor, Tyriq and Latisha
Yesta, Ogechi, Ngozi, Felicia
Adaugo, Chigozie, Amari, Kibet
Catrina, Amana, Xenobia, Yafet
Siddhartha, Priyanka, Toluwanimi
Nijae, Chibundu, Meron, Nkechi
Ifunanya, Tunde and Kofi
Take time with my name
If I gotta learn Schlotzsky's
Roots and foundation
Like a planted tree
God-like and royal
It's usually to mean
Still butchering my name?
Then i know you live in fear
Cuz my name and yo steak cooked the same
Rare

Make em choke on the name God gave you
No no oppressor
Can't nothin save you
Name worn with pride as the crown grows greater
Beam cuz I'm blessed and highly favored
Onyemauchechukwu
Nobody knows God's thoughts
Chinyere is what God gave
Scream it from the mountaintops
Ezinne, it means good Lord
A name grandma was donned
Uchenna, now don't wear it out
They call me the wish of God
Make em choke on the name God gave you
No no oppressor
Can't nothin save you
Name worn with pride as the crown grows greater
Beam cuz I'm blessed and highly favored

Make em choke on the name God gave you
Make em choke on the name God gave you
Make em choke on the name God gave you
Make em choke on the name God gave you
Make em choke on the name God gave you
