Watsky - Fuck an Emcee Name Lyrics

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-Fuck an MC Name

I don't need no god damn MC Name

I got nothing to hide, you got something to say

(George Watsky doesn't need a fucking 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 shit to do

I got the sickest crew

And so what the fuck is it to you, dude

If I got no stage name

I got stage game out the ass

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? damn, 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 porno 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 fuck this industry

If I gotta be MC U to do MC Me

(George Watsky MP3)

F-F-F-F-Fuck 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 motherfucking 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 ass

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 assault

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
