SWiSS - "Remember The Name"



You ready? Let's go
Yeah for those of you who want to know what we're all about
It's like this y'all come on


This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill,
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name


Mike, he doesn't need his name up in lights
He just wants to be heard whether its the beat or the mikes

He feels so unlike everybody else, alone
In spite of the fact that some people still think that they know him

But no, he knows the code
Its not about the salary its all about reality and makin' some noise
Makin the story makin sure his clique stays up
That means when he puts it down Tak's pickin it up, let's go

Who the hell is he anyway? He never really talks much
Never concerned with status, but still leavin' them starstruck
Humbled through opportunities given
, despite the fact
That many misjudge him because he makes a livin from writin raps

Put it together himself, now the picture connects
Never askin' for someone's help, to get some respect
He's only focussed on what he wrote, his will is beyond reach

And now when it all unfolds, the skill of an artist

This is twenty percent skill, eighty percent fear
Be a hundred percent clear because Ryu is ill
Who would've thought he'd be the one to set the West in flames
And I heard him wreckin' with the crystal method, name of the game

Came back dropped Megadef, took em' to church
I'm like, bleach man, why you had the stupidest verse?
This dude is the truth, now everybody givin' him guest spots
His stock's through the roof, I hear he going with S-dot

This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill,
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name


Eight years in the makin', patiently waitin' to blow
Now the record with Shinoda's takin' over the globe
He's got a partner in crime, his talent's equally dope
You won't believe the kind of things that comes out of this kid's throat


Tak he's not your everyday on the block
He knows how to work with what he's got
Makin his way to the top

People think its a commoner's name
People keep askin' him was it given at birth
Or does it stand for an acronym?

No, he's livin proof, got him rockin the booth
He'll get you buzzin quicker than a shot of drink with juice
Him and his crew are known around as one of the best
Dedicated to what they doin, give a hundred percent


Forget Mike, nobody really knows how or why he works so hard
It seems like he's never got time
Because he writes every note and he writes every line
And I've seen him at work when that light goes on in his mind

Its like a design is written in his head every time
Before he even touches a key or speaks in a rhyme
Those other fellas he runs with, those kids that he signed
Ridiculous, without even tryin, how do they do it?


This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill,
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name


This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill,
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name
