Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-whoa-oh
[Verse 1: Adam WarRock]
I was a snotty nosed kid
I did what I did
Back in the day
Just a little bit overanxious
And full of that vinegar and piss
My rhymes were multi-syllabic
Before I learned to speak
Doctors used to ask me
"what's the remedy?"
I tell 'em, see
Y'all ain't feeling this
Rhyming physicist
I've been living this
Optimistic sh**
I'm convinced that it's
Just a damn matter of time
Before I figure out
This whole "life" thing
Reading back over the words
I toss up on the screen
All my thoughts and dreams
I take a pause it seems
Because I still know i can do anything
They used to ask me my opinion
Though they hated that they wanted it
Given the gift and I honored it
4.0 through college kid
But now games swole
Like collagen
Spread through the globe like paula did
bu*terfly effect when i flap my wings
Cause the rest of my future; I altered it
Your headphones are the stethoscope
My heart that you hear through the speakers
Whenever I speak these words to your ears
You're sure that it's real
Gifted cla**es since a little kid
And f** the charts
I already tested way off of it
Tell them, chris

Neo-Tokyo they listen to the radio
They hear the songs steady playing
On the stereo
Oh-oh
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-whoa-oh
[Verse 2: Adam WarRock]
In 1988
They released a movie
Said that in a year the world would end
And now in 2012 people cite the mayan calendar
By the time we flip to 2013
In heaven we'll send, yo
So tell me, what's a little kid to do?
Because I'm done with school
But i don't want to grow up
Or play the rules
People used to say
Gotta get a job
So I put my hands on my ears
And I did what i loved
And I lived in a world where
Not a single person was telling me what to do
Cartoons and comics
Video games and movies
Man, I'm just being honest
About the things that move me
Adam was just a dream
And now it's real because
I didn't need a record deal
So how's it feel?
[Chris Haley]
(whoa-oh-whoa-oh-whoa-oh)
[Adam WarRock]
Yeah sometimes it feels that way
You can't put it in words
Just gotta sing
From here on out
Man, I swear it's the only life i know
When you live in neo-tokyo
It's about to explode, oh!
[Hook: Chris Haley] X 2
Neo-Tokyo they listen to the radio
They hear the songs steady playing
On the stereo
Oh-oh
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-whoa-oh
