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

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 [Watsky]
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 game 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 master plan, 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 F-F-F-F-Fuck 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 motherfucking positive I never gotta try to be somebody I'm not
Chorus
Verse 2 [Watsky] 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
