Adam WarRock High School Reunion Lyrics Adam WarRock lyrics

[Chorus] X 2

I never went to my high school reunion
Ain't nothing i could tell 'em
Ain't nothing i could do with 'em
Ain't nothing i could be
No symbol, martyr
Just me
Never
Knew me at all
So tell me
Who am i supposed to be?
When i do it like this

[Verse 1]

Yeah
Took a bit just to let it all soak in
Born in the eighties
Raised in the nineties
Little skater punk
With the rap skills
Making his way around the pulpit

And the southern baptist would say that
Music was the devil and i let it go to my head
Used to fall asleep with my disc man
Spinning around
With the headphones
Spilling from my bed

Instead high school for me
I was scared just to let the other kids
Really see
Everything i wanted to be
So i hid that
Lost in the west side of Tennessee
In the southern white culture
Black so fried
A little Asian kid
Just trying to stay alive
And i grew up pissed at the world
Now i put that shit inside of every MP3

Digitally they didn't know
That they were fixing to see
The little kid in me
That he was itching to be
The ill-est MC ever to be
And so i started making music
So irrelevantly
And so inevitably
Ignore what everyone
Was telling to me
And i competitively
Just started wrecking the scene
And now people that i knew
What way back then
All like
What's up with Eugene?

Well it's Adam now
And i'm god damn proud
Of this thing
That i made
Straight up
From the ground
If you didn't know it then
Then you knowing it now
I'm running with a
Different kind of crowd
Then when i started out

Instead just talking about
The things that come out
Whenever the mic is pointed at my mouth
And i'm gonna say it loud
Are you southern rap now?
Nah man
Just a rapper
From way down south

[Chorus 2] X 2

I never went to my high school reunion
Ain't nothing i could tell 'em
Ain't nothing i could do with 'em
Ain't nothing i could be
No symbol, martyr
Just me
Never
Knew me at all
So tell me
Who am i supposed to be?
When i do it like this


[Verse 2]

Call me a geek
Or a nerd
Haven't you heard
That's that new new
And i do too
All that voodoo
In the new school
And i spit raps
Like the Juice Crew
And i ain't lying like Snoop do
And my face is stunned like i'm Sulu
And y'all played out like Fubu

Back then i got teased
And harangued
Kids so cruel with the
Teeth and the fangs
But now they can't keep up
With the slang
When i drop from the beat
And i'm feasting again

Back then
I was way less confident
But now i'm on this shit
Because i rock the hits
And i'm never gonna fall for this
Bullshit full of media
Marketing

So we leave it in the past
Like the bad times back when
Backpacks on the shoulders
Were the fashion
When we sagged our pants
And i loved that hip hop
And ate it like cake to a fat kid
In between the bad times we had friends
Got our backs in the hallways laughing
Running around until we heard the bell ring
And ditched class
'til we made it to band practice

Like i need a reminder
Of the good times
Keep it really close to the vest
And i grew
To a man
Way different from the kid that i was
But it's fun to think back
Of way back when
So i don't need to reminisce
Because i'm way past the point
Of reliving the past (yeah)
I don't really want to hear about your last ten years
Mine's been busy
You can hear it on the track

[Chorus 3] X 2

I never went to my high school reunion
Ain't nothing i could tell 'em
Ain't nothing i could do with 'em
Ain't nothing i could be
No symbol, martyr
Just me
Never
Knew me at all
So tell me
Who am i supposed to be
When i do it like this

[Outro] X 2

To the bullies and the jocks
And the nerds and the freaks
To the a.v. club
And all the band geeks
To the goth kids
Rock kids
High on weed
Straight-A kids
Who study during the week
To the teachers
Coaches
Principals too
Counselors telling me
What i should do
And i never went back to my damn high school
After ten years
This is what i'm trying to do
