Marvel vs. DC by Adam WarRock Lyrics
[Adam WarRock]
It was all a dream
I used to read wizard magazine
Marvel vs DC
I don't want to fight no more y'all
Check this out right here, unh
[Verse 1]
I was raised in a small, southern community
People used to look at me different
Cause I look different
But this song ain't about race
It's about lines in the sand that
We draw to keep on producing any hatred
And internet culture only took away the faces
For when we had to say shit
Negativity and cynicism took the world over
I rode my bike and grabbed my backpack
And hold it over my shoulder
And went down to the comic book store
With a copy of Me Against the World bumping
I spend my ten bucks
And learn to love the elements
That made me feel so relevant
And it's your place to feel something
And I grew up thinking
One side was better
And I ignored tradition
Thinking half the story
Could shepherd me through
The gate ways of seeing the world
That lay beyond the racks that spun
At the front next to the register
[Chorus]
And all hear is marvel vs dc
And all I see's a sea of people of like me
And all I feel is the hate
In their voices
Ignoring the choices
Life has given you and me
And all I hear is marvel this and dc that
And all I see's a sea of people at my back
If you're down to stop with all the nay-saying
Then Adam WarRock is here to keep
The tape playing
[Verse 2]
I made fun of the big guns
The breasts, the muscle bearing chests
Absurd jackets and outfits
Each saga and death
The funerals and the times spent
With secrets comic creators kept
I was a zombie
Walking around in a daze
I was fan with crises all the way
And I still remember back when
Mom and dad would fight
I'd read a comic
And sketch to pass the day
I'm feeling better now
Life is sweller now
And I see that I can love it
For what these pages say
And sure at times i'm frustrated
But great writing is dope
And sick ass art
Can be the saving grace
And that's whether it's
Green Lantern or X-Men
Ghostrider or next
Way heal ranging[?]
I look through
So that's why when I rap
I try to talk about the things
That bring us together
The way that comic books do
[Chorus]
And all hear is marvel vs dc
And all I see's a sea of people of like me
And all I feel is the hate
In their voices
Ignoring the choices
Life has given you and me
And all I hear is marvel this and dc that
And all I see's a sea of people at my back
If you're down to stop with all the nay-saying
Then Adam WarRock is here to keep
The tape playing
(that was a good drum break)
(come on)
[Verse 3]
There ain't a thing that i can do
About this black hole
We're all swimming in a dead pool
Of lost souls
Got more to chew on
Sort of like a mind bender
A brainiac on the mic
That's why I stopped going
Back to the store
'Cause the fans were like
The Walking Dead
Just banshees screaming
Off all their Talking Heads
It's like they saw Spider-Man
Left like Batroc
Corporations raised the prices
Shutting out the have-nots
And you can call them
The Illuminati new world order
Made of franken-castle
Like I told ya
So strange
(call The Doctor)
All do[?]
(now they got ya)
Weak as Tony Stark
When he's chilling out sober
I ain't no Casanova
I can't convince you
Mr. Sinister in your minds
I can't get into
But if you wanna be a Superman
Show me
Stop with all the pointless battles
Like Don Quixote
(Adam WarRock
Dale Chase
It's how we do it baby)
It was all a dream
I used to read Wizard magazine
Batman and Steve Rogers
In the mezzanine
Hanging pictures on my door
I try to find my way back
Cause I don't want to fight no more
It was all a dream
I used to read wizard magazine
Marvel vs DC
I don't want to fight no more y'all
Check this out right here, unh
