RYKER - No Face (Official Audio)

Roll call, and they always get my name wrong. Picking teams, I'm always the last one. In the yearbook, my photo sits above somebody else's name. Sixteen, lights off, I put my face away. No photo, no real name. Upload. Now the whole room knows every word, and nobody has ever seen my face. No face, just the voice. Remember me. 在美國長大的台灣移民二代,從小被叫錯名字、被當背景;十六歲不放照片、不寫本名,把第一首歌傳上網。RYKER 萊克出道曲。 RYKER 萊克|Masked rapper.

Every roll call, teacher looked at me and said another name, me and Kevin in the back, she swore that we looked the same. Picked last every time when they split us into teams, like I was part of the wall, like I was background in the scene. Yearbook day, flipped the pages to find my face, found my picture with a stranger's name in its place. So I learned it young, what they see when I walk through the door: they never saw a person, just a face they'd seen before. Sixteen, bedroom light off, phone propped up on a shelf, first verse into the mic, just me talking to myself. Hit upload, no photo, no last name, no clue, just a name on the screen: RYKER. Something new. Cap pulled low, dark lens, black mask on my face, first choice in my life that nobody made in my place. If you can't see me, then you can't mix me up, now all you've got is the voice... and the voice is enough. No face, just the voice! Don't look at me, just hear me. No face, just the voice! You know me, you just can't see me. No face, just the voice! Every word is my ID. No face, just the voice! Remember me. Strangers started sharing it at two in the morning, comments piling up, "who is this?", and it kept on pouring. Nobody knew my face, nobody knew my race, for the first time in my life I was judged by what I say. Same kids who called me Kevin, now they know every word, singing every line back, but my name they never learned. No face in the frame, no name on the tag, no flag on the back of the jacket I wear, no box you can check, no row you can stack me in, nothing to stare at, just air, every bar is a step, every step is a climb, every climb is a year that they didn't care, now the last one picked is the first one they play, and they still can't tell who is there. So call me what you want. You were wrong before, but there's no face left to mix up anymore. No face, just the voice! Don't look at me, just hear me. No face, just the voice! You know me, you just can't see me. No face, just the voice! Every word is my ID. No face, just the voice! Remember me. Everybody wants to see it. Blurry photos. Guessing games. You want to see my face? You saw it every day for twelve years. You just never looked. Then the offers came in, "just show your face on the show," "take the mask off once, kid, and watch how far you could go." And I thought about that yearbook, that page, that frame, they want the same face now they used to call by the wrong name. So I told 'em no thanks. Keep the check. Keep the lights. Spent my whole life unseen. Now I choose it, and that's my right. This is for the kids with the wrong name on the list, the ones in the back row the teacher always missed. Let your voice walk in first, let it knock on every door, they'll learn your name by ear, like they should have before. No face, just the voice! Don't look at me, just hear me. No face, just the voice! You know me, you just can't see me. No face, just the voice! Every word is my ID. No face, just the voice! Remember me. "So what do you look like?" You already know me. You've heard me. Remember me. #RYKER #EnglishRap #HipHop #MaskedRapper #AsianAmerican #TheNoNameLessRAP #TNL #AIMusic #VirtualArtist #OfficialAudio #NoFace YouTube →    / @thenonamelessrap
