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 I got a good name/ I represent more than my rep/ I'm sayin', I got a good name (x2) 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 spillin' in the same vein 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 S-H, S-H-A-D/ (Where I'm from)/ That explains me
