New Breed - What's My Name
(from the album Stop the Music)
© copyright 2002

(Verse1)
Yo I'm the master builder
Causin you to feel the rhythm of life as I orchestrate and organize
My people that's walkin straight - they harmonize
Evident through love in their eyes
They're the reflection and spittin image of me
Unless they're walkin seperate and individually
In which case the face of creation tell the story
Creatures of the sky give me glory
People can't ignore the way I make the thunder roar
Lightning flash, separate the sun moon and stars
Many still wonder 'bout their purpose and cause
I wrote it in my book of rhymes baby infinite bars
I'm the amazing never changing ever remaining
Hold all things together my word sustaining
Let there be no whack emcees
'Cause if you're clever you would reverence and respect Me.

What's My name - The Author and Finisher
Alpha & Omega Ain't no one greater
Yeah that's right
What's My name
Everlasting, Mic mashing King of Glory
None before Thee
What's My Name
Wisdom of the ages, just turn the pages, y'all can't move the crowd and rock stages
Consistent with the truth blazin
Tell me have you ever heard someone so amazing

(verse 2)

How long will you simple ones love your simple ways
I'm more than just wise I hold the number of your days
In the palm of my right hand and a mic in my left
I'm spittin' life from the roof top with every single breath
Still you choose to ignore
Walk with your eyes to the floor
You're gonna run into disaster and I'm a close my door
You should've listened to my teachings
Bound the truth around your neck
I would've given you honor, wealth, favor and respect
But the foolish hate correction
Simpletons no discipline
Those who mocked arrogantly 'bout to reap a whirlwind
I been here since the beginning
Helped create the world you live in
The craftsman at His side
Time and logic I override
Only to collide with the young and the dumb
Who think that they know better and could battle wisdom
So I give them time to spit their dopest rhymes
But all I get is nonsense with a good punchline

What's My Name
Wisdom of the ages, just turn the pages, y'all can't move the crowd and rock stages
Consistent with the truth blazin
Tell me have you ever heard someone so amazing

(Verse 3)
Yo that ice for which you struggle so hard
I created it
I leave emcees devastated when I detonate bombs in my palm
And don't flinch or blink
I become the ocean that you sink in
Leave you think-ing about ways to defeat or define Me
But still y'all step to me blind
With an arrogance apparent in a rhyme bout
There ain't no time out
I just stop time
Make you stop rhymes
Got you twisted cause I'm flippin your scripts line for line before you speak
Now you realize just how weak your offense is
It's offensive
That mere man would try to contend with
(3b)
I challenge the heart of every single man
To come find me and understand who I am
Treasures untold will unfold from these lips
From no other woman will you get a sweeter kiss
Ignorance may be bliss but understanding gives power
Train your eyes to see the thieves, the imposters, and the cowards
I hold the crown of honor
Can give you riches that'll make you
But just cause I'm a lady that don't mean that I won't break you
Being wise in your own eyes brings pride that'll shake you
You must realize that wisdom reign supreme
This Puerto Rican queen will rock you on stages
And bring you to your knees while she keep the truth blazin
