[Verse 1]
Got a shelf full of heroes
Tiny worlds in their plastic stands
Midnight raids in a hoodie
Energy drink in my hand
Friends say “grow up
Man”
Like it’s something I can plan
But I’m saving this same old save file
Holding tight where I still can
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah I skip that party
For another boss I can’t beat
They talk in small talk
I talk in combos and cheats
If I’m too much
Then maybe you’re not enough speed
This is my story
Hit start
Watch me proceed
[Chorus]
I’m an anime
Nintendo nerd
Button-mashin’ every word
If you don’t get me
That’s your loss
Not mine (not mine)
Got my player one unlocked
Can’t reset the way I’m wired
I won’t change who I am to fit your line
I won’t change who I am this time
[Verse 2]
I got tears from a season
You ain’t even bothered to name
You keep scrolling through people
I keep grinding in the same game
You flex cars
New brands
I flex cards
Rare pulls in my hands
You chase crowds
Cool plans
I chase stars on a skybox map
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah they call it childish
Like they ever felt this free
You’re stuck on hard mode
Tryna be what they wanna see
If I’m too loud
Turn the volume down on me
’Cause I’m done pretending
To be your boring NPC
[Chorus]
I’m an anime
Nintendo nerd
Button-mashin’ every word
If you don’t get me
That’s your loss
Not mine (not mine)
Got my player one unlocked
Can’t reset the way I’m wired
I won’t change who I am to fit your line
I won’t change who I am this time
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
You can laugh at my posters
Call my hobbies a phase
But your highlight reel fades out
Mine’s in endless save states
[building harmonies]
I’m not glitching out
I’m exactly how I’m made
Hit the power
See me
Shining on the title page
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
