you haven't heard of him - what's in a name? lyrics

[iconic]

haven’t heard of him…

it goes i-c-o- to the n
i see to the end
my pen game is something that i can’t explain
my name is something that’ll live beyond the time i’m dead
it’s embedded in rhymes, venom in my lines
they’ll be ringing in your head
by 2055 singing my bars, solid as lead (huh!)
iconic – everything i ever said
bet your bottom dollar, follows like apostles
and still getting stronger, like i rock beat
you better stop and see
iconic more like socrates
kicking more rhymes than soccer teams

d-mn…

now i’m flowing like a fountain, been rated and doubted
i haven’t even dropped an album, just building tracks to build hype without them
what you know about it?
i got a whole story
when i reach the glory i’ll keep my friends, f-ck the phonies
i’m at the top of my game, i mean peak of my life
you get to hear it every time that i speak on the mic!

[creflow]

yeah! creflow! you haven’t heard of him!

i just hop in the booth and let my big wisdom tooth
vent the truth, ice cube in his youth
here to tighten the noose, i t-tan like zues
my timing’s tighter than suess, lines rich and recluse
treat my mic like my b-tch, call it domestic abuse
for the way i beat these bars, sh-t i got no excuse
i’m the beast in the barn, you’re just a pooch
got a reach like webb, mine is manute
like comparing a giant to something minute
frozen concentrate, compared to real fruit
a high ranking officer, boy where’s your salute
i’m out flanking your king, and crushing his troops

[mayhem]

andre means manly strong and brave
derived from a french origin name
given by mother and father, my initials
amg is just like my father
it’s my mark, my legacy, it defines who i am
it’s masculine, prestigious – that’s who i am
a name defines the person that you are
from your walk and your talk
your personality and speech
the importance in a name is hard to explain
being a black man bearing a french name
am i a sellout to my culture?
should i have been a malcolm x, a shariff, or mustafa?
names after a black king bearing jewels
am i considered a fool?
my name to me is biblical, historical, and lyrical
a flare for the dramatic, andre gordon
is a lifeline and timeline with roots back to slavery times…

[azbo]

how can a name ever really define us
a ta g that was just placed upon our heads when we were minors
we’re rhymers, it’s azbo over aaron it’s timeless
this world is overrun by tags, labels, and designers, the social climbers
there’s so many meanings to aaron if you can find them
like ancient egyptian origin meaning warrior lion
yeah i’m strong like iron, there’s no denying
i’m trying to just fit this alliance of nameless souls
you haven’t heard of them, they reek of defiance
but got the mind, body, and soul like biological science
so we triumph like giants, we don’t suffer in silence
we bare our names with such pride and strive in search of more guidance
unlike my rap name, i don’t represent violence
unlike my brother, i’m no basket case, i’m straight up reliant
middle name of the king so that is royalty you’re buying
just like the man himself, elvis, yeah it’s the hits i be supplying!

[el waxo]

whats in a name, you’re asking? mine’s waxy
i already told you i got a bike, i don’t taxi
spit a representation, throat’s rasping
meaning slips away no matter how hard you grasp it
a symbol, one arrow point out the action
life is a performance so really, everyone’s acting
flows grow and stem like anthotaxy
single, maxi, taken, backstreets
i couldn’t give a f-ck any more even if daffy duck asked me
or yosemite sam, gad darn it, ginger beard
i’m lanky, i’m banking on any old reject
no sanctions, frankly i’m holding my p-n-s
ice cold, penguin, call me a biscuit
my life i fixed it and rewrote the misprint
t-tled it schmi, jeebles, wax, lomad man of mystery
we called my dad large and in charge, know your history

[unorthodox]

deranged for a brainiac, insane like a maniac
strange cause i’m trained in the ways of these ancient raps
trapped by my habits, i’m contained in a savage pit
ravaged by my accidents, my lips mumble babble spit
dunkin’ with a rapidness i’ve sunk all your battleships
f-cking with your happiness, till you’re sad, slashing wrists
glad like a m-s-ch-st, smashing through the pessimists
laughing at you thrashing as i toss you from the precipice
lost within the mist, the rocky bottom of the cliffs
on the off chance you live, you’ll be walking with a limp
or talking with a lisp, shocked at your loss of limbs
twisted like a piece of straw caught in a wicked wind
i’m the seven deadly sins, thin, with a bl–dy grin
slight of hand like magicians, i can vanish in minutes
insisting with insistence, citizens, please listen
this has simply been fiction, my descriptive rendition
i’ll strive with my wisdom to thrive in existence
my life is of interest and my name is my business
it’s unorthodox, spitting visions to rhythm
rhyming over instrumentals from you haven’t heard of him

[dash the baptist]

they took slaves and they gave us religion
civilizing through jehovah’s witness, colonial outpost, ancestor’s living
i’m named david, my great-greandfather, then kofi nana ehwi forjoe
kofi is the name of the kid born on friday, then f to the o to r, j-o-e
the origin of the name, crazy story:
black man in colonial time, he changed his name
easier pr-nunciation, it was like nfordwua, now it’s forjoe
born poor through the hard times, from ashes he came
revolution independence they took aim
many generations so no choice but to do the same!

[bleach]

yo, i carry my son, like my name (that’s what my dad said)
sad, he’s dead now he’s in my head now
bow my head down he’s holding his hands above my head now
and said go ahead so i show them the greatest respect
the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree so i pay with respect
use my name in vein mayne and get slain on the track
“what’s a name,” is the name of the track
b.l. teams up with the illest: y double h-o-h
got tracks spinning like hubcaps since the old days
sniper rifle cypher, i lay low with the woofer system
got swag, so the cougars hissing
okay i slay, i got krueger in me (night night)
simple keep my name out of your mouth or you’ll be sleeping with the fishes
that’s what i’m talking about
pen game ill-matic, you ill backwards, pragmatic b-st-rd signing off
like the ruger blasting off
i had enough of that bull got that ill-noise true -ss-ssin
you a star? well maybe in a jewish g-ssing…

[1bomb]

my names sam and if i’ve got to be honest
i really hate that name, but that is the topic
my names brought fame since the beginning of days
from the holy bible to my facebook page
god says, “listen to sam,” so do what he says
jokes – i stopped praying at an early age
about the same time i realized my own fate
i was put on this earth to make my own name
1bees, 1bomb, remember it, safe
forget sam, no one calls me by that anyway
mr. jones stays riding on these sound waves
1bomb stays at it until he sounds great, cos he’s trying to escape from minimum wage
and take my talent from my bedroom to the states on a stage
it’s like they got me in a cage like some beast untamed
so i’m about to unleash and break out and escape, in a crazed rage!

[conflict]

whats in a name?
my name i hate it, conflicted since i made it
stuck with it for years, now it’s too late i can’t change it
google just mistakes it, youtube can’t relate it
add “hip hop” at the end cos conflict is always taken
l d n are my initials made sense to use that name
now i wish my beats name was my emcee name
only myself to blame, never thought i’d gain fame
even if fame, is my name, on google’s first page
n-o double-d-i-n-g-s, that is my name
abbreviate to noddy, that’s what all the kids would say
chant it in the playground, then turn and run away
and now my nickname is a take-the-p-ss name
now i’m older well i guess it’s as unique as me
search my name…ain’t another lee that’s done as much as me
work hard for my legacy, hope that i can put my name in lights
make my daddy proud…
carry the name, take it to dizzy heights

[badbelly]

so what’s my name…
what is it!!
is it just another past you won’t revisit?
just a label on a map as you change your course?
maybe that’s why we’re heading for another divorce…
sat-nav broke and we’re stuck in this city
and i’m fully aware of this f-cking irony
i never asked to be here but now they love me
or at least the one they shout out “badbelly!”
size 10s stomping on your home ground
footsteps causing reverberations in sound
history wiped and now you got a new man
surname changed, you got rid of the lang
news flash! guess what?
i don’t care!
i got two kids, and they’re still standing there
i got the name and they will carry it on…just like their daddy did

- you havent heard of him lyrics
