about
This track is one of my absolute favorites. Written during the run of the title "Wolverine and the X-men", this track features all the best of that series. Quentin Quire, Glob Herman, No Girl, Sprite, Eye Boy, Shark Girl, they're all here. That series was probably my favorite series with Kid Apocalypse so far. It just worked really well having it be a sort of high school dynamic and I wanted to represent that with this song. Much love to the original track this is obviously a parody of, "Gangsta's Paradise". Please don't sue me Coolio.
lyrics
As I walk through the halls,
of this mutant academy,
I catch every kind of stare,
as if they're all mad at me.
Cause the human kind of hate,
no it wasn't enough.
We got muties hating muties.
Frontin, acting all tough.
What? You think I'll take this guff,
from a guy named Glob Herman?
Or the kid with pink hair,
dude looks like Pee-Wee Herman.
So what? Big deal.
So you're the Kid Omega?
I'm the O.G. alpha,
like Jules and Vincent Vega.
Bet you think it's a laugh,
to say I asked a Bamf to prom.
We'll just see who laughs last,
say hello to your mom.
What's that? I didn't hear you,
I was sipping on my Sprite.
And I got No Girl,
maybe Cyclops was right.
We've been spending most our lives,
following a guy with laser eyes.
We've been promised once or twice,
that we'll find the mutant paradise.
We've been spending most our lives
following the guy with laser eyes.
We've fighting most our lives
against a guy who's magnetized.
Forget the Danger Room,
this is the danger school.
Attack kids with great power,
must be some kind of fool.
Eye Boy will see you coming,
Shark Girl will send you running.
Eye beams will be blasting,
and for you we'll be gunning.
The Hellfire Club,
now it's an academy?
Well isn't that quaint,
sounds more like a fad to me.
All the money in the world,
and not a single lick of sense.
You better conjugate that verb,
cause you'll be past tense.
We got power in droves,
we got courage in spades,
we got the skills to pay the bills,
and we about to get paid.
So many have tried,
and not a single one succeeded.
Move over Avengers,
cause the X-Men are needed.
Tell me why are we,
surprised to see,
Nearly every team,
has Wolverine?
We've been spending most our lives,
following a guy with laser eyes.
We've been promised once or twice,
that we'll find the mutant paradise.
We've been spending most our lives
following the guy with laser eyes.
We've fighting most our lives
against a guy who's magnetized.
And I've come a long way,
since gluing jewels to an X
And I've never looked back
ain't been cashing hot checks.
And everyone's been asking:
"Yo Evan! What's next?"
All I know is the flow,
send Remender some texts.
Trade my suit and my tie,
for some old gold and blues.
Maybe black, maybe yellow.
Got so many to choose.
Looking fly,rocking leather,
from my head to my shoes
X-Man or X-Woman,
ain't got nothing to lose.
We've been spending most our lives,
following a guy with laser eyes.
We've been promised once or twice,
that we'll find the mutant paradise.
We've been spending most our lives
following the guy with laser eyes.
We've fighting most our lives
against a guy who's magnetized.
We've been spending most our lives,
following a guy with laser eyes.
We've been promised once or twice,
that we'll find the mutant paradise.
We've been spending most our lives
following the guy with laser eyes.
We've fighting most our lives
against a guy who's magnetized.
