about

O.Z Bangaz kicks off the release of his EP I'm Possible with the debut of the video of the first single titled "What's Your Name? At first listen, this may sound like another braggadocios rap song, but it's a little deeper than that O.Z says. "My inspiration for making this song was the various ways people attempt to ask me who or what I am. Usually when I get that question it's someone asking me very politely or in a very disrespectful way about Albinism. So the lyrics to this song are primarily responses that I have given people. Depending on my mood and how the interaction is, determines whether my response is straight forward, sarcastic, witty and clever, or just as disrespectful as the person asking the question.

Most people think Albinism is an ethnicity or race. When I tell them that I'm Black and that Albinism is a medical condition that exist in every part of nature, they are confused. This either leads to me explaining that there are White, and Japanese people with Albinism and so on. Sometimes people just blatantly tell me that I'm lying and that there is no way that I'm Black. O.Z continues by saying, " After having so many people tell you that you are lying when you are telling the truth, you start to get creative with responses. Thus the lyrics:

DADDY WAS A BOOM-BOX BLASTING FULL THROTTLE

MOMMA WAS HOT MISS LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE

AND YOU WONDER WHY I CAME OUT DIFFERENT -NOW YOU KNOW

SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT I'M MIXED -MULATTO

I'M A HUNDRED PROOF BLACK, BUT THE SKIN LACKS THE COCOA

lyrics

CHORUS

WHAT'S YOUR NAME WHAT WHAT'S YOUR NAME - O.Z
WHAT'S YOUR NAME WHAT WHAT'S YOUR NAME - O.Z
WHAT'S YOUR NAME WHAT WHAT'S YOUR NAME - O.Z
CAUSE I REALLY THINK YOU COULD BE THE ONE

VERSE

I STARTED OUT AS A WRITER
AND AS MY FLOWS GOT TIGHTER
I WENT FROM STANDING IN CYPHERS
TO GETTING PAID LIKE A PIPER
THEY SAY MY MOUTH IS A SNIPER
VENOMOUS LIKE A VIPER
JUST LIKE THE CHI I'VE BEEN BAPTIZED BY THE FIRE
MY DEF FLOWS INCREASE DEATH TOLLS
ALL ORIGINAL NAH I DON'T SAMPLE
WHEN IT COMES TO GENIUS I GOT AMPLE
I REPRESENT "THE GO" SO THE FLOW IS COLD
JUST SAY MY VERSE YOUR BREATH BECOMES VISIBLE
LET'S KEEP IT REAL I'M THE SHHH NO PEPTO
DIDN'T MEAN TO STILL THE SCENE BUT THE FLOW WENT CLEPTO
FORGET BEING A BEAST, MAN I AM THE JUNGLE
MY SWAGGER IS SO MADAGASCAR
I'M AN ANIMAL AN EMCEE CANNIBAL
CALL ME HANNIBAL LECTER
AS I PROCEED TO LECTURE
IT'S WESTSIDE CHI SO I WILL
FOREVER REP KICK BRICKS AND BE IL
AND IF YOU EVER SAY YOU WANT TO BATTLE
I'LL DISMANTLE YOUR CREW AT WILL
YEAH IT'S MURDER IN MY LINES BETTER GET A WILL

CHORUS

WHAT'S YOUR NAME WHAT WHAT'S YOUR NAME - O.Z
WHAT'S YOUR NAME WHAT WHAT'S YOUR NAME - O.Z
WHAT'S YOUR NAME WHAT WHAT'S YOUR NAME - O.Z
CAUSE I REALLY THINK YOU COULD BE THE ONE

WHAT'S YOUR NAME WHAT WHAT'S YOUR NAME - O.Z
WHAT'S YOUR NAME WHAT WHAT'S YOUR NAME - O.Z
WHAT'S YOUR NAME WHAT WHAT'S YOUR NAME - O.Z
CAUSE I REALLY THINK YOU COULD BE THE ONE

VERSE

DADY WAS A BOOM-BOX BLASTING FULL THROTTLE
MAMMA WAS HOT MISS LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE
AND YOU WONDER WHY I CAME OUT DIFFERENT - NOW YOU KNOW
SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT I'M MIXED - MULATTO
I'M A HUNDRED PROOF BLACK BUT THE SKIN LACKS THE COCOA
WHEN IT COMES TO STYLES - MAN I GOT SEVERAL
THEY ALL NORMAN BATES - THAT MEANS THEY PSYCHO
I SWITCH THEM UP LIKE WOMEN SWITCH PADS ON THEIR CYCLE
I SAY THINGS TO TOY WITH YOUR MIND - LIKE TYCO
YOUR GIRL SWITCH TO ME FROM YOU LIKE I WAS GEICO
LOOKING FOR HER 3AM - MAN SHE AT MY HOME
GETTING WORKED OUT LIKE BILLY BLANKS -TAE-BO
JUST SO YOU KNOW - SHE SAID YOU'RE NO RIVAL
I HAD HER SPEAKING IN TONGUES, THE LOVING GOT TRIBAL
LIFE IS A SPIRAL - MINE IS HEADED UPWARD
STRUGGLES GETTING SMALL LIKE THE INDIAN IN THE CUPBOARD
I'M TAKING NAMES AND SPANKING BUT - LIKE I WAS A MOTHER
BET ON ME AND THAT'S A BET THAT'S COVERED
I'M A LETHAL WEAPON - MEL GIBSON - DANNY GLOVER
ONCE THEY MADE ME - -MAN THEY NEVER MADE ANOTHER

CHORUS

WHAT'S YOUR NAME WHAT WHAT'S YOUR NAME - O.Z
WHAT'S YOUR NAME WHAT WHAT'S YOUR NAME - O.Z
WHAT'S YOUR NAME WHAT WHAT'S YOUR NAME - O.Z
CAUSE I REALLY THINK YOU COULD BE THE ONE

WHAT'S YOUR NAME WHAT WHAT'S YOUR NAME - O.Z
WHAT'S YOUR NAME WHAT WHAT'S YOUR NAME - O.Z
WHAT'S YOUR NAME WHAT WHAT'S YOUR NAME - O.Z
CAUSE I REALLY THINK YOU COULD BE THE ONE
