Calling out to lost boys and girls
I'm gettin' tired of the disrespect
We won't stop 'til we rule the world
It's our time, we up next! (Next, next)
Our sail's about to be set (set, set)
They ain't seen nothing yet
Tell 'em who's in charge so they don't forget
What's my name, what's my name? (Uma)
Say it louder
What's my name, what's my name? (Uma)
Feel the power
No one's gonna stop us soon the world will be ours
What's my name what's my name?
What's it, what's it, say it, say it loud
(Uuuuuuma, Uuuuma)
All eyes on me, let me see 'em (Uuuuuma, Uuuuuma)
What's it, what's it, say it, say it

I don't need to wear no fake crown
Stand up to me, you don't stand a chance
It's our time, we up next (next, next)
My crew's as real as it gets (gets, gets)
The worst is now the best
And leaving us here will be their last regret

It's a pirate's life, every single day (hey!)
She's the captain, I'm the first mate

Uma
In China Anne McClain's song What's My Name, she calls out to all the lost boys and girls, tired of the disrespect, and claiming that they won't stop until they rule the world. She emphasizes that it's their time and that they're up next, meaning they're ready to take over. They're set to sail out and haven't shown the world what they're capable of. She brings out her alter-ego "Uma," who she claims is the queen of the town and is the one who calls the shots. Uma doesn't need any fake crown as she is powerful enough to stand tall in whatever situation she finds herself in. The chorus of the song is all about asking, "What's my name?" and the response being "Uma," and saying it louder to feel the power. China Anne McClain's character Uma is unapologetic about who she is and ready to make a name for herself.
