[Hook]

(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)

[Verse 1]

I got a good name

My first name came from a 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

And told the whole nation that they had to bow down to it

That or get tossed in a 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’ve been some strange phenomenon

They walked straight through the fire: Chaka Khan

Saved by a faith stronger than flames

If I’m half as brave then I’ll honour my name

I got a good name

[Hook x2]

[Verse 2]

My last name’s come down some generations

Came down from an 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 a village

Feel it when I touch down there

And now 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, I guess it’s perspective

In hindsight seeing it’s corrective

So when I get kids, if they get arrested

They gon’ get licks like breath mints, check it

He held a tough job down, held my mother’s hand

Handed down proud roots from my motherland

To my hometown

People say my name sound dope, no doubt

But that’s not why I’m most proud

I got a good name
