How It Was Lyrics by Gym Class Heroes

...For the Kids

2001

[Verse: Travie McCoy]
So we disappear into these last few years
With our broken bones and intertwining tones
And like Indiana Jones, we have become courageous
Outrageous in thoughts and style
Making beats that become feats of the hands and mind
And we learned that not even time can break us
In our place drums
In our confidence and our residence
Every presence is still heard from the first note struck
And the first string plucked
Even when we were down on our luck
And all we heard was "you guys suck"
We persevered
And cleared even our own expectations
Created new vibrations
Started a new buzz
That went from how it is
To how it was
