Adam WarRock - High School Reunion lyrics

[Chorus] X 2 I never went to my high school reunion Ain't nothing I could tell 'em Ain't nothing I could do with 'em Ain't nothing I could be No symbol, martyr; Just me Never - Knew me at all So tell me: Who am I supposed to be? When I do it like this [Verse 1: Adam WarRock] Yeah, took a bit just to let it all soak in Born in the eighties; Raised in the nineties Little skater punk with the rap sk**s Making his way around the pulpit And the southern baptist would say that Music was the devil and I let it go to my head Used to fall asleep with my disc man spinning around With the headphones spilling from my bed Instead high school for me I was scared just to let the other kids really see Everything I wanted to be so I hid that Lost in the west side of Tennessee In the southern white culture; Black so fried A little Asian kid just trying to stay alive And I grew up pissed at the world Now I put that sh** inside of every MP3 Digitally they didn't know That they were fixing to see The little kid in me that he was itching to be The ill-est MC ever to be and so I started making music So irrelevantly and so inevitably Ignore what everyone was telling to me And I competitively just started wrecking the scene And now people that I knew What way back then all like What's up with Eugene? Well it's Adam now and i'm god damn proud Of this thing that I made straight up from the ground If you didn't know it then Then you knowing it now I'm running with a different kind of crowd Then when I started out Instead just talking about the things that come out Whenever the mic is pointed at my mouth And I'm gonna say it loud Are you southern rap now? Nah man, Just a rapper from way down south [Chorus] X 2 I never went to my high school reunion Ain't nothing I could tell 'em Ain't nothing I could do with 'em Ain't nothing I could be No symbol, martyr; Just me Never - Knew me at all So tell me: Who am I supposed to be? When I do it like this [Verse 2] Call me a geek or a nerd Haven't you heard That's that new new And I do too All that voodoo In the new school And I spit raps Like the Juice Crew And I ain't lying like Snoop do And my face is stunned like I'm Sulu And y'all played out like Fubu Back then I got teased and harangued Kids so cruel with the teeth and the fangs But now they can't keep up with the slang When I drop from the beat and I'm feasting again Back then, I was way less confident But now I'm on this sh** because I rock the hits And I'm never gonna fall for this Bullsh** full of media marketing So we leave it in the past Like the bad times back when Backpacks on the shoulders Were the fashion When we sagged our pants And I loved that hip hop And ate it like cake to a fat kid In between the bad times we had friends Got our backs in the hallways laughing Running around until we heard the bell ring And ditched cla** 'til we made it to band practice Like I need a reminder of the good times Keep it really close to the vest and I grew To a man way different from the kid that I was But it's fun to think back of way back when So I don't need to reminisce Because I'm way past the point Of reliving the past (yeah) I don't really want to hear about your last ten years Mine's been busy You can hear it on the track [Chorus] X 2 I never went to my high school reunion Ain't nothing I could tell 'em Ain't nothing I could do with 'em Ain't nothing I could be No symbol, martyr; Just me Never - Knew me at all So tell me: Who am I supposed to be? When I do it like this [Outro] X 2 To the bullies and the jocks And the nerds and the freaks To the A.V. club and all the band geeks To the goth kids, Rock kids high on weed Straight-A kids who study during the week To the teachers, coaches, principals too Counselors telling me what I should do And I never went back to my damn high school After ten years this is what I'm trying to do
