Adam WarRock used to work as a lawyer but has since devoted his life to nerd-core hip-hop.
“Clark Kent” is his tribute to (and the real name of) Superman, underdogs, and working class people wherever they’re at in life.
The tempo of the beat is near walking-pace, enforcing the feeling of persevera...
[Verse 1: Adam WarRock]
Baby I ain't a Superman, I'm more Clark Kent
Just a simpleton yes, just a civilian
These other ladies they be talkin' about super strength
And heat vision
I ain't got any of 'em, so keep fishin'
I ain't a Brainiac, from some dark place
She's more Boardwalk, I'm more Park Place
Work just to keep them lights on in those dark days
Lex Corp. office drone, yeah the job pays
Got no S on my chest plate, man
Only name on my shirt is my damn name tag
And people wanna know where I've been in the past, uh
"Clark, why you always disappearing in disasters?"
Just to reiterate, I ain't no Superman
I'm just a scaredy-cat working for the weekend
So Misses Lois Lane; man I gotta be insane
You don't even know my name, let me tell you who I am
[Chorus] X 2
Glasses all bent, email sent
Workin' every day just to try to pay rent
I'm Clark Kent
I'm Clark Kent
I'm Clark Kent
Baby I'm Clark Kent
[Refrain] X 2
You ain't a Superman more like a Clark Kent
You ain't a Superman you're more like a Clark Kent
[Verse 2]
Baby I ain't a Superman
I'm more Clark Kent
They call me Adam where I'm from
S'good money spend
If time is money his rhymes are something kinda like
Finding a twenty when you ain't got another cent
Know what I'm saying?
I'm the infinity watcher, Nick [?] hip-hopper
With a doctorate in rockin' it
But just a regular guy; one pant-leg at a time
Private school style with the public school mind
But still I bring that boom when I swing right through
With the dragon punch, literally
Fing fang foom
Yeah look at what I do's to ya, cruise to ya
Leavin' every page torn like my name was Natalie [?]
I'm just Clark Kent drinkin' at the world's end
Kind of a dork, just ask my girlfriend
So be proud of your lackluster status
Regular guys: hands up
Who's the raddest?
[Chorus] X 2
Glasses all bent, email sent
Workin' every day just to try to pay rent
I'm Clark Kent
I'm Clark Kent
I'm Clark Kent
Baby I'm Clark Kent
[Refrain] X 2
You ain't a Superman more like a Clark Kent
You ain't a Superman you're more like a Clark Kent
Yeah, from Earth to Krypton
Just put your hands up one time, yuh
[Chorus] X 2
Glasses all bent, email sent
Workin' every day just to try to pay rent
I'm Clark Kent
I'm Clark Kent
I'm Clark Kent
Baby I'm Clark Kent
[Refrain] X 2
You ain't a Superman more like a Clark Kent
You ain't a Superman you're more like a Clark Kent
