Hey, yeah!
Hey, Zach, Rickie! I think this is the anthem track right here!
Hey, hey, yeah!

I think you've heard the name before
Josiah Davis
Finally hit The Stu with Andrew
Thank God we left the basement
Spending so much time tryna figure out where my place is
I hate dark spaces, but there's no way I'm a racist
God tracin'
Every line I have on my hands, and I'm in his
But I'm racin'
To make it in music, that ain't a fib
So I hit up my dogs for assistance
Michael Vick
And we came up with a track, a little somethin' to stick
In the kitchen cookin' tracks for a minute
I'm with it, flip it like a pancake
Sizzle each time I spit it
I'm spinnin' like the yo-yo in my hand
I hit it like an axe to a tree, no Lumberjack
Yo, I'm formerly known
I left the name behind cause, well as you know, I'm not grown
I'm feelin gassed, mic passin', on legendary status
I'm defying the status quo
Not trying to practice, bro
I'm packin' heat, don't rap at me
This my job, no habit, yo
Formerly known as a sinner
But Satan got dunked on, and now I'm a winner
I'm eatin' a lot, but I couldn't feel thinner
Cause Jesus took the weight off my shoulders
Thank God for the healer
That's irony

Formerly known
Just a crusader of rap
Like Joan of Arc
Hop on the track: me, Josiah, and Zach
Step to the mic and I numb it down with some morphine
Went through some changes
Yeah, you could say I was morphing
Find me snatchin' pillows
When I catch these brothers snoring
Soaring, exploring the air like I'm a Boeing
Rapper on the beat
Basquiat with a paint brush
I go hammer on the flow, I'm that MC you can't touch
Rappin' with Josiah, man you know I feel elated
On this mixtape yellin'
"Hey, mom, I think we made it"
I been happy rapping since day one, like no belated
I was chillin' in the breeze, but now I've heavily deflated
My ego
I was bad and I was boujee like the Migos
Now I'm good and I been chillin' just me and my cool amigos
Freed my mind like Neo
Eatin' right like Mio
I was lost but I'mma keep on swimmin' like I was Nemo
Every day is such a gift, such a present
Every second chance I get is like the new version of Blessings
I been lettin' my light shine, I'm luminescent, hey
Catch me in my residence prayin' that God deflects this hate

Big Z-Money, that was the name
But Rusty Red, that's my claim to fame
Yeah, I'm just tryna stay in the game
Some may say that's a shame
But they don't know what's goin' on in my brain
Rappin's never been the reason that I exclaim
Even though I spit flame
And I'm on this mixtape
The reason that I shout these praises
Is 'cause Jesus and me are on a first-name basis
This man gave me a sword
By his grace I am floored
In his eyes I'm adored
Breaking' Satan's lock
Kickin' down doors
Knockin' other rappers to the floor
And all I did was spit a couple bars and whip in a Ford
Zach Attack
Was a pretty great name
But it started sounding whack
It was time for a change
So I kicked him off the track
It's Rusty Red in the flesh
And I'm rockin mic's from Impact to Bangladesh
Warren seems whack without this ginger kid in it
Blue Devils but we Godly, so the name gon' be switchin'
Big ups to the man above my head in the sky
'Cause when I kill this beat, I know it has a place when it dies
Cut the beat
