The legend of the Neuse
Weighs you down like thousand pounds
Hanging around your neck
And you just can't break loose
The burden that you carry
Is drawn all across your face
Like a hundred scars
That will never heal any day

So what 's in a name?
To remind you of someone?
What's in a name
To remind of where ya come from

You were told before
It's just not the same
Ain't no point in trying
Why ya wanna be like him?
The image in your mind
Is your own truth
Damn, these stories
Are getting long in the tooth

So what 's in a name?
To remind you of someone?
What's in a name
To remind of where ya come from
Where ya came from
Where ya came from
