about

This song is about how even though it seems like everyone is some type of nerd these days, I've "Been Here" all my life!

lyrics

[Intro]
What up y'all? Swell Rell here (Swell Rell)
We got Coach on the beat. I appreciate you by the way
Uh, let me talk to you real quick (holla, holla, holla, holla)
Y'all know how everybody is a nerd now? (Yup, yup, yup)
Shit like cool. Shit like trendy. It's, it's cool to be a nerd (true, true, true)
I need y'all to know somethin' (what's that). I been here! (Go!)

[Chorus]
Been here all my life. Been here bout this nerd shit
Been here all my life. Been here bout this nerd shit
I've been here all my life. Been here bout this nerd shit
Been here all my life. Been here bout it (go!)
Been here all my life. Been here bout this nerd shit
Been here all my life. Been here bout this nerd shit
I've been here all my life. Been here bout this nerd shit
Been here all my life. Been here bout it (yuh)

[Verse]
Been here all my life (yup). You must think I'm insane
Once heard I was a closet nerd but had Lion-O on my keychain (ok)
Cookin' y'all like my name Dane
Tryna get money like Bruce Wayne (cash)
The way I'm break y'all fools' backs got y'all saying "Is he Bane?"
(crack, crack, crack, crack, crack)
Are you Glass Joe? You can get knocked out
You already know
Punch-Out! (yeah), Contra (yeah), Street Fighter
Played all of those
Darkwing Duck, Talespin, Recess. I watched all he shows (ok)
Mask of the Phantasm. Best Batman. No cap son (no cap)
Every single day, it was Pokemon before school (Pika)
Every single day, it was DBZ after school (Goku)
When Power Rangers came on, I'm tellin' you, I'd act a fool
Always be yo damn self. That's why the slogan is "Nerd iz Cool"
90's Spiderman and X-men. That brought me joy
Batman, Ninja Turtles, Transformers. Had all the toys
Digest my raps. So good for you. Got nutrients like bok choy
Like a platformer, when the screen's coming. No time to talk. It's time to (Go!)

[Chorus]
Been here all my life. Been here bout this nerd shit
Been here all my life. Been here bout this nerd shit
I've been here all my life. Been here bout this nerd shit
Been here all my life. Been here bout it (go!)
Been here all my life. Been here bout this nerd shit
Been here all my life. Been here bout this nerd shit
I've been here all my life. Been here bout this nerd shit
Been here all my life. Been here bout it (go!)


[Outro]
Ayo, shoutout to my nerds who been doing this since elementary, middle school
Ya in your 30s, 20s, 40s, 50. Whatever you are now. Shoutout to you
This song is specifically for you (yeah, yeah)
Let it bounce. Let it bounce. Let it bounce
Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
Been here
