[Intro]
“So being a nerd, for me, isn’t about wearing pocket protectors, avoiding sunlight, no one ever really dies, or even being a huge fan of something electronic. As a partaker in various nerd subcultures, and as someone who takes it upon themself to personally, and sometimes broadly, define words based on the contexts which I hear them used in, I think people who are nerds just know...in their hearts...in our hearts...that…”
[Chorus 1]
Life is a beautiful gift
Life is a beautiful gift
Life is a beautiful gift
Life is a beautiful gift
[Verse 1]
For whom? I don’t know
All my attention goes to games, girls, my bang bros, and my word flow
In the end, what happens? Well, you already know
You die! Lights out, mystery solved, let’s go
I’ll have you know I’m a lame nerd, not a fan of competition
But when smash bros starts up, my heart’s jumping and kicking
This album’s as much for y’all as this album is for me
I consider composing bars and recording music a treat
And whether or not I make money, I’ll consider this a feat
I’m not about competition like I said, but I can’t say no to a beat
I’m like Dwight Shrute, you mess with me? I don’t like you
I pity you, Jim, your wititude is silly, fool
I am of The Office, guess that’s parent number six
If I had to recall them all, then it’d be quite a long list
“Um, technically, the max amount of parents one has is two”
Well I define words broadly, said that twice now dude
What other words do I know, so I can sound like a nerd?
Goppaloppastoppachauvenist and hoppstapoppabest
Oh tarnation, I forgot all the rest
Out of the similes I know, I’m glad life is not a test
I’d tell you more but you already know the rest and mine’s the best
[Chorus 2]
Life is a beautiful gift
(That’s a metaphor by the way, sorry)
Life is a beautiful gift
Life is a beautiful gift
Beautiful life is a gift...life, yep, ehr, yeah...
[Verse 2]
“Your raps are pretty lame IMHO”
Ok bro, lately I don’t crave your say-so
Is slapping butts with towels and talking about sport winners
More unifying than gaming up all night over mics with some thin nerds?
That’s not for you to say, it’s for me
2 plus 1, that’s three, and I’m just getting starteed
Speaking of, I’ve got a huge t-shirt collection
And my enthusiasm for them is demonstrated by my affection
For nerd art, here’s a dictionary, get word smart
You say you’re street smart? Hehe, I’ve seen you flirt with cheeks, partner
And you’re hilarious, tripping them, stealing phones
Is that the most effective way to not be alone?
Spoiler alert! The answer is yes, I’ve tested it
And my nerd life is not conducive to success with the ladies, so go on, you have em
I’m enjoying life, you’re trying to convince yourself that you have one!
You might find yourself if you follow this simple maxim
[Chorus 1]
Life is a beautiful gift
Life is a beautiful gift
Life is a beautiful gift
Life is a beautiful gift
[Verse 3]
I save a lot of currency, likewise, I spend some
I’ve got an effective strategy to maximize my expenses funds
I wait for the Steam sales and buy Nintendo on Amazon
And I try to resist the temptations of famicom games
Anyway, I also enjoy video games vicariously
I watch people play games on Twitch daily, marry me
I’m an important figure in a dozen online communities
Truly, they’re my family, but you’re probably already through with me
What’s new to me is being cool for free
My online friends say I’m a dude who speaks truthfully
And hilariously, hence my usage of the unusual phrase, marry me
Pardon me, I repeated that, now back to the parrying
I have so much worth, it’s like I’m more
Than just a speck of dust on this earth
So I hope I don’t get sniffed! But it doesn’t take an oculus rift to see that
[Chorus 3]
Life is a beautiful gift
Life is a marvelous gift
Life is a tremendous gift
Life is a spectacular gift
Life is a tubular gift
Life is a wonderful gift
Life is an incredible gift
LIFE IS A GIFT
