Back in ’77, yeah I ran that town
Bell-bottom swagger on the playground ground
Metal lunchbox, thermos on lock
King of the blacktop, ruler of the clock
Teacher said, “Boy, better stay in your lane”
But I was out here collectin’ all the fame
Kickball captain, dodgeball stamp
Didn’t need a trophy—I was known as champ
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Gold stars lined up on the wall
Didn’t lose much… if at all
If you ask me how I got that crown—
⸻
[Chorus – big, catchy, singalong]
I was a Second Grade Champ, yeah that’s a fact
’77, better take it way back
From the jungle gym to the lunchroom line
If there was a win, it was probably mine
Second Grade Champ, yeah I had it locked
Chocolate milk boss, whole carton stocked
You can laugh now, but I stand my ground
I’ve been number one since a desk bolted down
⸻
[Verse 2 – playful country storytelling]
Now I’m in the kitchen flippin’ grilled cheese gold
Kids lookin’ at me like a story unfolds
“Dad, how you do that?” I said, “Sit right there—
This ain’t luck, kid, this is skill and flair”
Rakin’ up leaves? Yeah I dominated fall
Hot wheels tracks? I designed ’em all
Peanut butter stacked with a champion spread
Even made nap time bow its head
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Glue stick legend, art class king
Jump rope champ, didn’t miss a swing
If it ever happened, yeah I probably won
⸻
[Chorus]
I was a Second Grade Champ, yeah that’s a fact
’77, better take it way back
From the jungle gym to the lunchroom line
If there was a win, it was probably mine
Second Grade Champ, yeah I had it locked
Chocolate milk boss, whole carton stocked
You can laugh now, but I stand my ground
I’ve been number one since a desk bolted down
⸻
[Rap Break – fun, rhythmic, punchy delivery]
Hold up—lemme talk my talk real quick
Velcro shoes but I still moved slick
Crayons sharp, box never mixed
If it was a contest, I was top of the list
Spaghetti day? Yeah I set that pace
Nap time king—never lost my space
Show-and-tell? Man, I shut it down
Best rock collection in the whole third town
Erase that chalk, I wrote my name
Every single board, every single game
You can fact check all you want, but man—
History says I’m still the champ 😎
⸻
[Bridge – half-sung / half-spoken, funny]
“Everything though?”
Everything.
“Even jump rope?”
Double champion.
“Even naps?”
Undefeated… deep sleep division.
“Dad…”
What? I got records.
⸻
[Final Chorus – biggest energy]
I was a Second Grade Champ, yeah that’s the truth
Built my legend in a plaid shirt youth
From a chalkboard line to a backyard flame
I’ve been chasin’ wins since they called my name
Second Grade Champ, yeah I wear that crown
From a little wood desk to this grown-up town
It ain’t about first, it’s the laughs we stamp—
…but I’m still gonna say it—SECOND GRADE CHAMP
⸻
[Outro – playful, rhythmic tag]
So if I’m cookin’, rakin’, fixin’ a lamp
Just remember who you’re talkin’ to… champ
Class of ’77, still runnin’ the camp—
(beat drop / spoken)
…undefeated.
