Yea I was way too skinny back I high school
Hung out with the 'smart' clique - they labeled me as 'uncool.'
Looking back now, its really not a loss
Cuz someday down the road my friend will be your boss
For some, rap is life. for me its just an outlet
Told my sh** s**ed, and laughed at from the outset
At this point, I don't care. I smile -- laugh it off
Soon I'll have you by the balls "please turn your head and cough."
Call me Ron Burgundy cuz now 'I'm a big deal'
Always known back in the day as the 'third wheel.'
No one really liked me. Is it cuz I'm a muggle?
Now there's girls left and right asking me to cuddle...
It's funny how things change ever-so rapidly
Now I love life after living it so vapidly
Yes I said vapid. That was in the word bank
Cliques so smart you could call us a 'think tank.'
Maybe I'm a nerd. Or maybe you're just jealous
Met your mom yesterday, she's a tad overzealous
Skinny little b**h, call me Topher Grace
Or am I that gay guy from Will and Grace?
No one really knew me - they just threw on some labels
I didn't acknowledge them, because that enables
Back then I had the girl and I ran the school
Dropped out of football because I wasn't cool
Short, skinny nerd with gla**es...
It's funny how I've changed since my honors cla**es...
Tall, dark, and handsome, yeah I've got it all
Now why the hell won't Emma give me a call?
I'm her biggest fan - I wrote her a** a letter
If only she could see me, I know that I could get her
Got a nice little musical interlude like the cool rappers do...
Ha, I wish
I knew what it took to be popular back in the day
But I wasn't into d** and s**ual things not me no way
But now things have changed
It's more about the person and not the things that they do -
Checklist rearranged
See a different version without taking my eyes off you
People grew up and out - that's the way it goes
Used to bump tunes alone, now I'm seeing shows
Maybe one day you'll see me center-stage -
Doing things expected of people that are twice my age
Think about it:
Everything we do is just a means to an end
So once I grew up, I didn't need the most friends
The ones I have are great. They're my brothers for life
They've felt the pain I've gone through. The struggle and strife
I guess what I'm saying is that "popular" is just a word
Something every little kid I'm sure would have preferred
But rest a**ured, you will be alright
You've got a tight circle 'round you to keep you upright
So don't hang your head if you aren't the one that the girls like
Cuz once you get older you'll make a comeback just like Mike
They can never take from you your style or cla**
But they'll sure as hell try, so out of pity I will raise a gla**...
