(Shadrach, Shadrach)

Say what you like, just spell my name right (I've got a good name)
Say what you like, just spell my name right (yeah)
Say what you like, just spell my name right (I represent more than my rap)
Say what you like, just spell my name right

I've got a good name, my first name came from slave in Babylon, back in the day, rat in a cage
Raised in chains, he trained like Rocky, but I mean his brain not boxing
So he got sly like Stallone, got game like 50 cent posse, up first to work on his coffee grind
In no time promoted to the king's right hand, but no hype man, had to take the right stand
When the king made a statue of gold he told the whole nation that they had to bow down to it
That or get tossed in the furnace Shad and his boys said boss you can burn us
We can't serve this statue it's worthless
The king was mad but Shadrach wasn't nervous
It must have been some strange phenomenon
They walked straight through the fire
Chaka Khan
Saved by faith stronger than flames,
If I'm half as brave then I honour my name
I've got a good name

 [bad word] 

And my last [bad word] down some generations
Came down from the elevation
High in the hills of a great nation
With a bright future and a dark past
That won't overshadow the hope cause the night's passed
Down from my grandfather who held down the village
Feel it when I touch down there
Now it's spilling in the same veins
As a good dad, with a good name
You see Shad's pop, always played bad cop
He had no badge though, we didn't give him mad props
But now I respect it
Guess it's perspective
In hindsight seeing it's corrective
So when I get kids if they get arrested
They going to get licks like breath mints
Check it
He held a tough job down
Held my mothers hand
Handed down proud roots from my motherland
To my hometown people say my name sounds dope no doubt but that's not why I'm most proud
I've got a good name
