Names? Who am I?

Our names are for the most part unique to us and are one of the little things we keep in our lifetime. We use or hear our name every day, but what's so important about it? Do our names keep our identity? I will let you answer those questions for yourself, but for now i have a job to do....


My name is Owais, no not the water Oasis,

I knew my first name before i knew how to tie my own laces.

Yes, It might sound kind of lame,

But its part of my religion, A Muslim name.


A little wolf or blessed i may be,

My first name is part of me.

Jadwat. Originated from South Africa or from the UK,

Its my Last name, thats all ill say.



Its mine, its mine , its mine i say,

You can say it anytime, at night or in the day.

I see my name as my personal identity,

If you think not you are the definition of insanity.


But, how do you end a rhyme?

If i end here, would it only be 14 lines?

My name is my imprint like my fingerprint on my thumb,

Or maybe it was just randomly given to me by my mum?


So i hope you enjoyed that shot creative rhyme rap/poem that i wrote about my name and its origins. If you didn't understand or get it ill give you the rundown. Firstly a lot of people get confused when they meet me( they think my name is Oasis -  the water company) just thought i would put that out there. Moving on, Owais can be spelt Uwais but yes it is a Muslim name. As i am from South Africa and it is a colony of Britain, i found it necessary to include that it is of both origin(My Last name). The direct translation from the Qur'an of Owais can be blessed/gifted or little wolf. Lastly not much to the history of my name but i would consider it to be a vital part of my identity. I hope you enjoyed!


Until next time! #ButI'mNotARapper
