Wretches and Kings - Remember the Name (Live in Montreal)
To save face / how low can you go Talk a lot of game but yet you don’t know Static on the way / make us all say whoa The people up top push the people down low Get down And I’m running it like that The front of the attack is exactly where I’m at Somewhere in between the kick and the hi hat The pen and the contract The pitch and the contact So get with the combat / I’m letting ‘em know There ain’t shit you can say to make me back down no So / push the button let the whole thing blow Spinning everything outta control Now everybody go
[Chorus:] This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill Fifteen percent concentrated power of will Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!
Mike! - He doesn't need his name up in lights He just wants to be heard whether it's the beat or the mic He feels so unlike everybody else, alone In spite of the fact that some people still think that they know him But fuck em, he knows the code It's not about the salary It's all about reality and making some noise Making the story - making sure his clique stays up That means when he puts it down Tak's picking it up! Let's go!
Forget Mike - Nobody really knows how or why he works so hard It seems like he's never got time Because he writes every note and he writes every line And I've seen him at work when that light goes on in his mind It's like a design is written in his head every time Before he even touches a key or speaks in a rhyme And those motherfuckers he runs with, The kids that he signed? Ridiculous, without even trying, How did he do it?!
