Dale Chase - Nerd Corps lyrics

[Hook] This isn't hardcore, this is for the art dorks Theatre geeks, and comic book losers, and all the smart sorts This is for the tabletop dice-rollers and poetry readers And every nerdy kid who's still reppin' the art form Join the Nerd Corps, here's your application Join the Nerd Corps, you know we're all waitin' Join the Nerd Corps, you know we're coming through So listen up, here's what the corps can do for you [Verse 1: Adam WarRock] Start a website Start a blog, too You like hip-hop? Alright we got you So now these rappers talk about my sk**s like "He's alright, but he's not real" Go ahead and talk about how Adam never paid his dues Your business model's all worn out like my favorite shoes With your little local scene and your wack-a** crew Don't even ask to do a show when I'm pa**ing through And just because I speak on comics and rap On bombing these cats, be honest What's your problem with that? So now you wanna talk on how you could do better Rocking your throwback Snoopy iceberg sweater I'm a postmodern gangster, ironic half-stepper Rapping for a living cause my momma never taught me better Cause this is hip hop, just not the stuff you're used to We're like the ultimate version of the Juice Crew [Hook] [Verse 2: Adam WarRock] I know, I used to hate being labelled as a nerd MC I grew up trying to shake the labels others gave 'em to me 'Dork, geek, loser, chink, gook, idiot' Stones will break my bones, but words still hurt a little bit That's why I listen to Wu-Tang and Redman Discman batteries eating up as quickly as they can But I grew into these size elevens easily Rocking open mics and freestyle competitions, see These days DJs settle the score with beats by Bad Spella and C-64 Which gave me room to freely express myself some more And show that nerdiness deep down in my core And now I'm stronger at the mic than ever before And pretty soon you're gonna get an Adam CD at your door And to all those dudes used to make fun instead Their chicks are wearing WarRock T-shirts to bed [Hook] [Verse 3: Adam WarRock] First, we offer freedom of expression in our bill of rights Rap about whatever you want to, use your inner light Two, you can wear whatever uniform is comfortable Rocking Birkenstocks and a poncho if you wanted to Three, you can be any color or race Do whatever you want and rap to any other's taste Four, make sure your fans don't even like rap That's fine, cause these days fans don't even hide that Number five, you can even use big words in your verses Every audience member is checking their thesaurus Number six, do your best to rap and rhyme it to the beat That's a loose requirement, best left to the elite Number seven, only do shows in crappy dive bars And let local acts open up who really try hard Number eight, make the music that comes straight from your heart And support independent art, support independent art
