Above the Name
His name is Jamal, but they call him New Boy
New boy? What am I a silly toy?
Get to know me, call me by my real name
I don’t understand this immature game
Be above the name I decided to become
And introduce myself, now they don’t sound dumb
His name is Daeron, but they call him Dae
He always gets mad because he wants his way
When they call him slow, he starts to fight
Not knowing they were jealous of all his might
They wished they were just like him
Then he hit his best friend Jim
What’s this fight all about?
Be above the name
Turn your head and shout
You got to stop the name calling, everyone has their own name
The person who did it will be a shame, you got to stop the name calling
His name is Tae Jauhn, but they call him ugly
They said he’s dumb, they saw a side of he
That they didn’t know, cause they were hurting him
He began to throw some temper tantrums
He let the names win, he gave them power
Be above the name, stand tall and tower
His name was Michael, Lil Mike he liked
But to be funny, they call him Lil Tike
They didn’t know how much it really hurt
And on top of it they called him jerk
He was upset and he started to cry
They got him even though he’s a tough guy
The words won this round, don’t let it beat you
Be above the name, and tell them too
You got to stop the name calling, everyone has their own name
The person who did it will be a shame, you got to stop the name calling
Her name was Ali, but they called her Big Al
They didn’t know they were hurting that gal
Low self esteem cause she thought she was fat
Never will she get a date, looking like that
She watched what she ate, sometimes didn’t eat
No energy always tired and beat
So before you speak, always think
And don’t go to their level, don’t stoop, don’t sink
Be above the name, get to know the person
You never know if you’ll be friends and have fun!
You got to stop the name calling, everyone has their own name
The person who did it will be a shame, you got to stop the name calling
We said you got to:
Stop the name calling everyone has their own name
The person who did it will be a shame, you got to stop the name calling
