Verse 1: Before I was born I was already given a name, that name was Jeames I was born to brisbane, at that stage in life theres nothing to explain, so lets skip a few years to when i felt pain. A family strain, mum and dad were having fights, couldnt go to sleep I had to sleep with the bed light, on, wouldnt close my eyes without a lullaby song, neither's in the right but my mum was in the wrong, love for the long, but it was love for the short, bottled up inside caved in memories of thought, but i thought, of all the life lessons ive been taught, i was taught to fight for what you love until the loves been brought, all that was brought was pain & tears, just wishing for the rain to wash away all your fears, memories are faded, they've been smudged and smeared, judged & cleared.... Verse 2: What defines my name? Is it whom I associate, or is it the way you lead your life destined by fate, To define one person is a way to discriminate, appreciate what you got dont terminate, illiminate the problem by finding the source, life's like the olympics a challenging course, but im the sort that if i want something ill aquire, enquire on the dream then chase your desire, persistance is the key, the fuel for the fire, procrastination wont take you anywhere higher. On a flyer, one day my face will be displayed, Lee EmCee in bold letters promoting my name. Verse 3: What defines a name when were stereotyped, the way people dress or act will determine your type, but who has the right to catorgorise, we all have the right to lead our own life! Acts acted out can also give you a label, if you cant live up to your word your just not able, your not stable, your about to tumble, like the roman ruins your about to crumble, Causing trouble, as a rebellious teen, influences introduced me to the rap scene, persistance is getting me closer to my dream, when dreams turn reality then define me! Some are given nicknames as a way to define, Like its really hard to read some letters between the lines, Thats how my nickname was forced into my life, I guess im lucky LeeBoy is a common rhyme. When its your time & you've got there attention, your dreams have been reached so release the tension, you could happily retire, live off the pension, but i thought that matter i wouldnt have to mention. In One sentence, id have people in hysterics, they relate to what i say cos what i say is authentic, its generic, every name has its own meaning, so why do some think its ok to be demeaning, In need of cleaning some aspects need to be swept, under the rug but still some need to be kept, to define my name this understanding must be met, Dont make me out to look any less then the best.
