[Verse 1:Adam WarRock]
We held court in the land where gods and kings watched
Our hearts forged with metal and great lessons were taught
A great weapon was hoisted out the sky and it fell
Cracking the ground beneath as the earth's belly had swelled
And a man just a regular, ordinary, citizen
Daydreaming through life though he battled against the listlessness
To see the world, cause inside him there grew
A power that made it's way from the gates the place is new
Reading The Sword in the Stone he knew the stories of his father
And he dreamed of bigger things though he rarely ever bothered
Til the day when he was face-to-face a man in the mirror
Fate's d**h-hand was nearer, the plan became clearer
And any other day he might have pa**ed that by
But any other day, wouldn't have the will to try
But with that from inside
He reached out and took control of his life
Now the people all over the world know
[Hook]
Now I'm back
To change the story
And I'm Back
To make it mine
And I'm back
To switch the history given to my by
The gods and the creators whose hands touch the divine
When my life was changed the day I first touched the mic
This is the retcon
The future's never gonna be the same
This is the retcon
I'll rewrite history again
This is the retcon
Adam's back to settle the score
This is the new event back at your comic book store
[Verse 2]
He saw the ships that pa** the crashing waves of the sea
We heard the immigrants forming their home communities
And now the product of a scientist and a siren
Forged a child next to the steel machines retiring
Who once gripped the Atari controllers, paddles, and joysticks
Facebook, art, and skateboards, things givin' him joy since
The day he saw his heroes the way he was introduced
To universes and people who changed-up all the rules
And he cried for the Dark Phoenix, cheered for Cap's shield
Watched as Wayne Manor produced theories to yield
All the secrets for the villains that tried their best to diminish
The people who cower shaking with monsters trying to extinguish
And the hope would last long
The heroes would prove wrong
That good would beat evil
The heart in him grew strong
And he drew sketches, dreamed of winning contests
And he held his hand up with the Infinity Gauntlet

[Verse 3]
And so he lived his life, further pushed the feeling back
That maybe making their living was done through making raps
And when he chose to focus on comics, super heroes, and such
Watched as all the things he loved were slowly blowing up
And so he quit his job and made the mission his name
And he did shows for crowds; sometimes nobody came
But he kept workin' and pushin' out the product to the ma**es
Stayed deep in the Bat-cave figurin' out the patterns
And now he's makin' the music and the people are listening
Flow hot to touch: nitroglycerine
And now he's hotter than lava John Blazin' the track
And sold that old life story; he can never go back
So he changed his history; now he's been on tour
Released the hottest mix tape; made the people cheer more
And now his origin story's gotta be written again
Cause he's back better than ever; the beginning to the end to the beginning
Ain't nothin' changed
'Cept everything
