Aaay, I used to be a rapper! Woooah, I used to be a rapper! Whaaat, I used to be a rapper! There was a time in my life when that's all that mattered Huh?I used to be a rapper What?! I used to be a rapper There was a time in my life when this was all that mattered Can you even believe that I used to be a rapper? What happened?! That's what you've gotta be askin' Why would this pinnacle of health and style quit rappin'? Yeah that used to be me, even Ripley wouldn't believe it I'm living proof that if you have a goal you can achieve it Been there, done that. I killed it with rhyme Criminals always returns to the scene of a crime Sure, fine. You may not know my name But underground rap was always an unknown man's game The old me was spry; but now old me's gonna die But I'll boldly go where no other man may dare try Past my prime, was better about 60 lbs ago I've got time, and maybe a few more LPs to go Oh my, oh my, would you look at that? Midnight already, man, I gotta crash I'm gonna catch my death, already out of breath Everyone watching live probably already left No heft, not deft, and an awful penchant For showing up whenver his name is mentioned "StarF's rapping again? He's not serious, is he?" And I never truly went away, I just got "busy" I'll lie to myself to pretend that I'm still young Keeping abject slang on the tip of my tongue One verse down and I'm already feelin' shook Alright, alright, fine, let's go back to the hook Aaay, I used to be a rapper! Woooah, I used to be a rapper! Whaaat, I used to be a rapper! There was a time in my life when that's all that mattered Huh?I used to be a rapper What?! I used to be a rapper There was a time in my life when this was all that mattered Can you even believe that I used to be a rapper? Check my vitals again, all my idols are dead Killed em all myself or otherwise forgot what they said Put two and two together, the answer simple and handy: You don't need anyone's permission to do what makes you happy Don't @ me. This doesn't have to be my calling I'm still poor, but it's my tires and not me who's balding So I got up on a stage like it was all the rage To get nostalgic about an act that you just learned about, great As introductions go this could use some more clarity You didn't pay to hear it so I guess that's not fair to me Heresy! He speaks from a bygone era Somewhere between "lyrical" and emos with mascera Too obscure for my peers, and too weird for the kids No one can relate, it's no wonder I'm still in the biz If they hate it you create it cause you know it's unique If you search around long enough you'll find your niche And even if you don't they say the fun is a feast No starving artist, you can be full of yourself at least They compliment you off stage, take it from me Say ya got something special and you're really funny But they'll forget you by morning, and you'll forget the feeling Years go by so fast and you've become so unappealing So you write a new song with the new hand you're dealt And when they ask why? Say "I do it all for myself" Aaay, I used to be a rapper! Woooah, I used to be a rapper! Whaaat, I used to be a rapper! There was a time in my life when that's all that mattered Huh?I used to be a rapper What?! I used to be a rapper There was a time in my life when this was all that mattered Can you even believe that I used to be a rapper?

Remember me? I used to be a stalker Nerdy punk rocker, awkward stupid gawker But that site got shut down and that phase was cringe So I gave it up for a responsibility binge Shit was okay, I made a little money in the process Matured into a better person if we're being honest But I miss the nonsense, and the goofy ass raps Driving twelve hours to perform for a 30 room cap Shiiit, back in the day when we were on some Tube Technology The good memories? I could write a whole anthology The bad ones? They wreaked havoc on my psychology But gave me some good stories on some AJR shit probably I would never give it up, I was happy making music Getting away with somehow being a part of RPG-Unit Accepted into Scrub Club despite being so noobish And passing as a rapper despite throwing out the rubrik Who? Shit, my name is StarF, always has been Ready for the comeback of this disillusioned hasbeen Used to be Audacity, now I'm rocking Pro Tools Still can't make beats for shit, so good thing there's no rules In the game of Life this seems as good as any starting spot Wanted to do this since I saw Schaffer rock it in a parking lot Why not? Recapture the magic of the gathering Rock it in Orlando after Covid stops meandering And even though I know I'll probably be called dumb a lot I just can't wait to get back on a stage so I can front, a lot Gonna catch the horsemen on tour in Autumn We're only getting older so time to smoke em if you gottem It's nerdcore for life, whether at the top or bottom So if you're only here to judge? Tell me what's yer fuckin problem Recapture the energy and strive to give no fucks Oh and Lars! Thanks for the shirt, I still owe you 20 bucks

Credit card, student loan, never gonna own a home Trying hard, in the zone, plagued by imposter syndrome America's burning down, I'll drink to that, another round! Seratonin, dopamine, have you seen mine in the lost and found? Time to work, go to bed, wake up now do it again Overtime, working hard, still less money on this card Not enough, am I okay? Won't see my girlfriend today Out of touch, getting old, forgot whatever I was told More fast food, alcohol, just how far now can I fall? Doctor's note, yeah as if, can't afford the insurance Got some friends, where'd they go? Let them down again, I know No more joy, not even close, no cash so I self-diagnose Halt! Who goes there?! Is it the ghost of the person I once was? Or a spectre of one I wasn't, but wanted to be Well hey, that does it Sorry I blew it, one day you're happy next day you're through it Don't overdo it, drop to the ground and give up music I've lived some life, at this point I've seen plenty There were times when I didn't believe I'd survive my twenties Contemplated suicide, not in action but in essense Thought about it a lot, would never do it but shit, it was there in presence The story isn't over though, this is no way to end it This is as young as I'm ever going to be Shit, that's fucking sad to me All those broken promises, I said I'd do it Potential is such a dirty word, I'll never live up to it This is as young as I'm ever going to be Ah, fuck. I've wasted so much energy

Blank page, time to sit and stare Write rhymes? Why would they even care But that's just depression at least a regression now speaking in place of a previous lesson I taught myself empathy in turn found apathy sensory load now giving fried synapses Oh boy, a delicacy where I'm from Write under a lamp like a loaded gun Intuition leanin' in like "I told ya son, Never give into the compliments, if you do, yer done." Fun, fun, fun... It's all I ever used to have You know you're gonna miss it when it's gone You know you're going to forget how to write the songs You pretend like it's a struggle, pretend life is so grating When we all know it's nothing but nostalgia in the making Give it up At least grow up You know you're gonna miss it Life as we know it is exquisite Stop pretending like it sucks Give it up Dream state of mind, maybe you could help me find A cut of my former clarity to free me from this bind From behind I didn't see it coming like a freight train Years of slacking off turned into a subtle way to inflate pain I thought by now I'd be massive, I didn't mean the weight gain They told me I had potential so I took it on myself to wait, lame. So now I'm here, and I know it's not so bad Because one day I will cherish everything that made me sad Find a new form of self-punishment, that's the only sort of fun I get Giving up is way too easy and so I can't believe that I haven't done it yet Guess I'm here to stay, a forced cliche, no more to say It's what I tell myself on the day just so I can keep the crushing feelings at bay (heyyy) You know you're gonna miss it when it's gone You know you're going to forget how to write the songs You pretend like it's a struggle, pretend life is so grating When we all know it's nothing but nostalgia in the making Give it up At least grow up You know you're gonna miss it Life as we know it is exquisite Stop pretending like it sucks Give it up [x2] Oh stop rambling, oh stop whining You're doing well for yourself, and you're hardly not surviving Could be striving for thriving or just desperate for rhyming But the disparate meanings are caught in the disjointed timing Signing off on your misery, your favorite coping mechanism For a life that didn't need it, pretend you're trapped in a prison When you've got your own keys, and you decorated the bars Shooting for the stars from here wouldn't get you very far And you knew that didn't you, a calculated risk That added up to nothing when you're living just like this You knew the outcome before you jumped But you bathe in self-induced self-loathing like it's not something you made up You suck Give it up At least grow up You know you're gonna miss it Life as we know it is exquisite Stop pretending like it sucks Give it up [x2]
