Household Name

Never forget Khali Raymond (savage writer).

I look at this empty billboard on the side of

a building in Lower Manhattan

Thinkin’ I’m about to be on it, forget that

I wanna be on the building itself in the future

I look at my card on Google Search,

thinkin’ I’m gonna have me a Wikipedia page someday

I will become a household name

Whether if I use savage writer, savage poet, Mr. Raymond

Mister K, R. Khali, Sensei Kha

The Chameleon, Shamir Sherman, or Trpy Shvt

How about this one

Khali Shamir Maliki Raymond

You’ll know that it’s me,

it’ll get around to you one way or another

After I pop with these books,

I’m jumping back into the music – Hip-Hop is my heart

From there, I’m taking up film and whatever else comes after

There is nothing that I cannot do, so yea

Keep on doubting me

I will become a household name

You won’t give me a reason to sell out because I know the way you be playing your games

I’ll be more authentic once you find that I’m self-made

Fuck your award committees, you wouldn’t

know real skill even if it slapped you fools senseless

like someone beating their wife up

Only what the hell is popular,

the cool kids would call it hot or poppin’

I’ll create my own shows instead,

I don’t need a Grammy to be considered worthy

I don’t need to grace GQ to show you how sexy I am,

I know that I’m handsome

I don’t need any of yous’ validation,

ya’ll gone be the ones coming to me with your whack ass invitations

Bringing me all the way to a show I won’t even win nothing for

Fuck off with that coy shit

Let me tell u’ what I’m about to be

I will become a household name

Especially in my city, 973
