[Verse 1]
Like a book that you can’t put down
Sit down, take a look
Couldn’t look at his test
And if you tryna skip, you can bet he gon snitch
Other kids looked at him like a bitch (little bitch)
But when he walked by, didn’t flinch
#2 pencil, shirt tucked in
Bag full of books, got his work turned in on time
Every morning he read the announcements at 9 (good morning)
Everybody in his life told him if he worked real hard
It would turn out fine
So he did everything that he was supposed to do
Exactly when he was supposed to do it
Cause he thought one day
That he would run this whole town
And everybody knew it
[Chorus – GLDNEYE]
As I walked in the thrift store, the shirt it screamed buy me
You cannot walk by me, you just have to try me
It read “Vote Jeremy Bixby. A change for the city.”
I tried it on and it certainly fit me
[Verse 2]
Went to college and he got good grades
Every class straight A’s. In a frat, big man on campus
Still stuck in his ways
Started working for the mayor on his new campaign
The mayor said, “son, you could make a big change.”
“Stick with me and we’ll do great things
Everyone in town’s gonna know your name.”
He didn’t think twice, went and bought a suit
Made new friends
Started to recruit a team to help his own campaign
Cause he knew he had guts and he had brains
Worked real hard, rain or shine
And he never had a doubt in his mind
Cause he knew one day that he would run this whole town
And everybody knew it
[Chorus – GLDNEYE]
As I walked in the thrift store, the shirt it screamed buy me
You cannot walk by me, you just have to try me
It read “Vote Jeremy Bixby. A change for the city.”
I tried it on and it certainly fit me
[Verse 3]
Now, he’s on the campaign trail
I bet you got his card in the mail
Every day, he’s on the news at 12
It looked like it was going well
At every event, he had a big crowd
His neighbor emptied out her savings account (cha-ching)
She used to watch him when he was a kid
And knew one day he would be real big
He had an idea, he knew it would work
Took his money, spent it all on merch (shirts)
Then the day came for the people to decide
Jeremy lost in a landslide
Couldn’t let it go until the day he died
Lost his money and he lost his pride
Cause he thought one day that he would run this whole town
And everybody knew it
[Chorus – GLDNEYE]
As I walked in the thrift store, the shirt it screamed buy me
You cannot walk by me, you just have to try me
It read “Vote Jeremy Bixby. A change for the city.”
I tried it on and it certainly fit me
