Good Name
Good Name
Well you have a million dollars and you have a new car,
You just bought a house with twenty five rooms,
A product of the Ivy with the highest I.Q.,
You can fake it when you don’t have a clue.
Your blessed with so much talent you don’t know what to do,
They say you’ll capture every reward,
But everyone you work with shakes their head in dismay,
They’d rather stay at home and be bored.
What do they say about you when you are gone,
Forgot about kindness, just moved on,
Might be the greatest, might be the king,
If you don’t have your name, you haven’t got anything.
Chorus:With a good name, you can go a long way,
¯And it’s a real shame, when you throw it away,
¯’Cause with a good name, you can go a long way,
Your custom made attire makes them stop in their tracks,
Your hair is always carefully groomed,
On the outside you’re the model of the GQ man,
Inside you’re the picture of gloom.
You’ve had everything you wanted ever since you were young,
Every door was opened to you.
When the records are released for the world to consume,
Will your reputation muddy the view.
What do they say about you behind your back,
When you’re with your friends how do they react,
Assets are growing in leaps and bounds,
Person on the inside keeps a bringing you down. …Chorus….
All that really matters at the end of the day,
After the income grind,
Can you face yourself when you put things away,
What will you leave, what did you leave behind,
What will they say about you when you are gone,
Forgot about kindness, just moved on,
Might be the greatest, might be the king,
If you don’t have your name, you haven’t got anything,….Chorus…
