I'm reminiscing after school afternoons
That's when I fell in love with Japanese cartoons
While everybody else was chillin' doing other things
I was glued to my T.V watching Gundam Wing
It left quite an impression that I reflected on
My red mitsubishi's nickname was Epyon
Assembled model kits, collected action figures
I knew every single Gundam related fact & figure
Gundam Wing is why I fell in love with anime
Not Ike Turner, I'mma stay in love with anime
My bad Tina but I gotta let 'em know
That all I wanna do is rock shows in Tokyo
The mobile suit mecha
You know that I'm reppin' for my anime fans, y'all gonna respect us
Heavy arms with the lyrical weapons
Saying all the non-believers are skeptics
Suggest that you do not underestimate this otaku
I'll lyrically drop you and chop you
Like an axe in the left hand of a zaku
Undefeated in battle so you know I will not lose
I know that zakus only exist in Universal Century
And this is After Colony, whats gotten into me?
I guess it doesn't matter, cause Gundams all the same
Wether we talking Heero Yuy or Amuro Ray
Or Gundam Unicorn, talking Banagher Links
Seen every episode twice, I didn't even blink
I got every manga novel and every DVD
I hope this song gets my website a lotta links
And if it doesn't cause they all think my flow is weak
Or so to speak, at least they know I made the beat
And if they think the beat sucks too, then damn
I think I'll quit rapping and get a job at Sam's
And bag groceries every single day til I save up enough for my Tokyo getaway
My boss will say "Richie, I ain't mad at you. I know you gotta take a picture with that gundam statute
Just take plenty pictures of all the action and I promise that I'll stop giving you all the bad shifts
I'll even transfer you to our flagship store where the shoppers like to give back us the big cash tips."
They used to make fun of me for watching Gundam Wing
Instead of playing basketball in the summer leagues
And now that they see all the major labels wanting me
They wanna join the team cause they see I'm running things
Yeah, ever since I was a school kid
I used to wish that I could be one of the cool kids
Funny how things change cause nowadays all the cool kids do is kick back and watch anime
