[Db] My name is Michael Wayne Ather, but you can call me Yellow Wolf.
[G]
[Eb]
[Gm] When I was seven years old, [N] I had no concept of what hip hop was.
[G]
I was living [Dm] in the woods in Alabama.
[C] [G] My mom's long-term [Gm] boyfriend at the time had toured with Run-DMC and Aerosmith on the Walk This Way [F] tour.
He had made friends with the [Gm] crew and he brought the crew out to Alabama to our house.
I just [G] remember a crew of people showing up to our [Gm] house and [D] showing me some My Ideas [Bb] t-shirts and some Beastie Boys license to build [N] tapes.
All I really knew about was Foghat, Leonard Skinner, and the Goonies.
A [D] little bit of Hank Williams.
So when I heard [G] that, I was just blown away.
Yeah, I was just gone off of it.
[Gm]
18, 19, [A] I was really searching for [Dm] some kind of identity other than just being a white boy.
And I knew that my [Gm] dad and my mom had [A] Cherokee roots and Blackfoot roots.
[Dm] So I started just trying to find myself through that.
[C] It really, really came [Dm]
out of thin air.
I was just strolling around at night, just [A] meditating on my own, and it just came.
It was later on as I got older where it started to make more sense with who I was.
Yellow being the fire and [N] the hunger and the light.
And Wolf is just the survivor.
That's how I apply Yellow Wolf to who I am as a person.
People say what's in a name.
If it has ever applied to anyone, it's me.
I remember people throwing stabs at Yellow being a color, a weak wolf, like Yellow Belly or stuff like that.
But it's actually quite the opposite.
[Dm] It's good.
It's good to make people think.
I'm not [Gm] mad at anybody's opinion, [Dm] whether it's good or bad, honestly.
As long as they're thinking about it, it's good enough for me.

[Eb] Wolf!
