Tim Blais - NERDS: A Manifesto lyrics

I got a lyrical proclivity Special like relativity General knack of physics Incredible rap ability Feeling me? Don't tell me these gla**es lack in virility I'm physically intimate yo Cause physics is into me The cold open Nerds from CERN to Hoboken The soft spoken When talking openly Gets your nose broken It's no joke and I'm Not hoping to make light Just throwing a rope If you got no hope To hang tight Dang right I know what high school life is like Can't fight When every bully is twice your height Turning the pages fascinated up late nights By day worried cause other girlies don't think your weight's right But stay bright little nerdling Cause when the hard part's done you got the world on a string Leaving home as a hobbit you'll return as a king Cause modern life is brain boxing and you're lord of the ring It goes Nerds! Our name since junior high But now we're Doctor Last Name saving juniors' lives It goes Nerds! We got pushed at the front of the cla** But now we running banks pushing fat stacks of cash It goes Nerds! Ears burnin but we never let it catch fire Stayed calm built a dot com empire Nerds! So keep your pride with your face in the dirt Cause it's no secret that the geek shall inherit the earth I'm repping nerd rights Because we're hotter than thermite Sharper that any pencil At the start of the term Might I suggest That next to any text a nerd writes That Hollywood gossip whoring Is boring like a termite Cause we're the greats From Shakespeare to Cape Fear Oscar nom dot com bubbles in your great beer Engineers need a mention here For turning tension and stress Into a professional career Yeah we've learned to be relentless So whether you're a chemist Inventor of medicines Or a dental hygienist Apprentice in theoretical dietetics of lettuce Just get up and represent; You know the world has got a nerd fetish So all my geeks in the closet living secretly I see you sneaking nature docs on the BBC No time to hide, take pride in our legacy Cause it's a brand new world; 51 Pegasi Nerds! You say we're lame; are you kidding me? We run your day from your games to your Twitter feed Nerds! You think great techs can't have great s**? We study Wikipedia pages and type in LaTeX Nerds! Kept you blind, under cover like a peregrine Sly enough to leave you Hufflepuffin' while we Slytherin Nerds! I never got to be fly as a kid But my vocabulary gave me sick rhymes to spit I studied science Grew up to be a rhyme sayer No Minnesota connection, one of a kind Say you're pumping iron? I'm pumping ions through this bilayer You can't abide this myelin if you try, player Mind greater than a giant Ghana land snail Sign "theta" when I'm answering my fan mail Rhymes get under your skin just like a hang nail Wits make you dizzy better hold on to the handrail I know my limits So don't you try to limit me Won't be derivative Spitting back what you're giving me What matters is understanding patterns and symmetry So I'll be integrating your factual data lyrically OMG so OP These NERDs Got the ATP to defeat all you NPCs LCD to your CRT TNG to your TMZ ICBM to your TNT Cause we're explosive like caesium Bright like burning magnesium Swallow you like amoebas Enveloping paramecium Fighters right in our element Like a knight in Elysium When we bridle the elements Hell we make it look easy hon You think it looks easy? Umm.. Well how bout we face off? Ignoring laboratory procedure? You'll blow your face off So keep your He-Man stats in your grey skull Cause grey matter is power That's the power of Grayskull Nerds! They called us ADHD, made us take pills Now we're rippin 88 keys, rocking great sk**s Nerds! If you ever took band or theatre Take a bow to the haters And say "Calc-u-later!" Nerd! You don't appreciate this high tone Tell me again how you would die without your iPhone Nerd! Music, science and art, the trifecta Kneel before the mighty pocket protector
