Rejects - Richie Branson

Reminiscing on those days, late for class, eating breakfast

Throwing on that Hot Topic shirt that’s on my dresser

High school Richie was ignored and rejected

Hoping for the day I get adored and respected

See before I started rapping, getting lots of love

I used to be that kid all the girls called a scrub

They used to point and laugh when they see me walking up

I just took it as experience, so I chopped it up

And now they popping up at all my shows looking mad

Cause they know I’m the best guy that they never had

Used to get rejected but I’m really glad

Cause it’s true what they say, nice guys finish last

This one’s for the social rejects

Where my nerds and my freaks and geeks at

It’s about time that we got some respect

It’s about time that we got some respect

This one’s for the social rejects

Where my nerds and my freaks and geeks at

It’s about time that we got some respect

It’s about time that we got some respect

See, I’ve been a nerd since birth

And I used to think that being a nerd was such a curse

Trying to act like the cool kids, even rehearse

Until I figured it was cooler to spit the truth in this verse

Listen, if you’re really trying to shoot for the stars

You should never change and remain true to who you are

And don’t try to chase the clothes, jewels, and cars

Just take it from me, you’ll go far

Just follow your heart

Yea and just ignore the haters

They just mad cause they know that nerds make more paper

They just haters cause we greater

There’s no stopping us like Charlie’s glass elevator

This one’s for the social rejects

Where my nerds and my freaks and geeks at

It’s about time that we got some respect

It’s about time that we got some respect

This one’s for the social rejects

Where my nerds and my freaks and geeks at

It’s about time that we got some respect

It’s about time that we got some respect

Hands up if you have a high GPA

And keep 'em high if you play a lot of video games

Now wave 'em side to side if you love anime

Now say goodbye to everybody who wants to hate

This one’s for the social rejects

Where my nerds and my freaks and geeks at

It’s about time that we got some respect

It’s about time that we got some respect

This one’s for the social rejects

Where my nerds and my freaks and geeks at

It’s about time that we got some respect

It’s about time that we got some respect
