about

I don't know that I've ever related to an anime character more than I have with Gohan of the Dragonball universe. Where he is from a family of fighters but was torn between his academic trajectory and his training, I'm from a family of athletes and chose music. Then I ran away from that to be corporate and "safe".

This is inspired by Gohan, but it also is me talking to myself. I was coming out of my summer funk, and I had to remind myself not to forget that I still have a lot of fight left in me.

lyrics

When I was only a sprite
They called me the future
I knew they weren’t used to
Seeing that much promise so young, they were right
They knew when the time came the kid, he would fight

Everything anyone threw at me
Did not inhibit
But did give me life
Occasionally I might complain or might cry
But look at the way in the moments my stride

Would be hit. Out the park like a Mike Trout swing
Anyone who’s going after clout might think
That all I ever cared about was the glory and the fame
That I only ever lived for the bouts life brings

But my passion’s always been academic
Creative
The violence I hate it
But know that I’ll get it
And wreck any peon who dares to try stepping
To anyone I love. I train to protect them

Protect

Mama always tried to keep me in the books
She’s effective but I needed to double up on the looks
All the homies had to praise my versatility
I could hit a Masenko ha right after she was drilling me
On multiplication tables
Division and Aesop fables
You know I can save the planet
At least can I make a wager
You know dad is on the way and

You can’t even take out take out a kid
That’s how I’d be talking now look what I did
They expected me to be up next. I could quote em
Had me acing tests but still decking these soldiers

strongest nerd in the world it’s definitive
Swear I went Super Saiyan while thinking bout derivatives
When I went 2 I hated the way planet was giving in
Afterwards studied logarithm returns and dividends

You and I are not synonyms

I'm earning victory bumps
While repping for durag history month


We all go through phases
That’s why I’m living my best life
You be twisting that
I might take an L but I’m bouncing back

Put respect on my name yeah
Don’t you think that I ain’t got it now
But I figured out


You forgot about me
You don’t remember
You don’t remember

You forgot about me
You don’t remember
You don’t remember
Aye

You forgot about me
Who did
You did

You forgot about me
Who did
You did

You forgot about me
Who did
You did

You forgot about me
Who did
You did

You forgot about


Word to Videl
Get you one that can do both

I’m talking bout me
Still got the drip though I lost my gi

Looking like I roll with the Sopranos
You might get clipped, better go out on a high note
Got a lot of power in my fist, call me Thanos

Might’ve gotten scrawny flipping books like bricks
But you know my favorite wind instrument
Gonna get me back on fire
Like Lavos

You been doubting the potential
Housed inside my mental
That despite my fact my father’s mentioned
How my ceiling’s non existent
Like my pop in law’s credentials
Once I stopped pretending
My career would ever top my wish to
Train to let my inner power lift me
To the heights they always thought I’d get to
I become unstoppable. The issue's

Never 'bout ability
Ability
Those who came before me conformed to the idea
That only one discipline could be their proclivity
Proclivity
I can land degrees and be downing mountains and trees
As part of my training. Why would you try to limit me
Limit me


I could win a Nobel
Or hit god mode fury

I could pull a Videl
Or a Cocoa Amaguri

Rescue heroes from hell
Or present a case to jury

My people do well
Doesn’t matter what we do we

Are not monolithic
When I try I climb to the top
Cuz I’m gifted
Growth in power’s not gonna stop
I’m prolific
Need help? I’m the guy for the job
Don’t forget it

You remember when the “microorganism” came
Stood and waited for someone to run his fade
And I ran that
We were down and out but overcame
Like the Camback
Those are just the damn facts
Look


We all go through phases
That’s why I’m living my best life
You be twisting that
I might take an L but I’m bouncing back

Put respect on my name yeah
Don’t you think that I ain’t got it now
But I figured out

You forgot about me
You don’t remember
You don’t remember

You forgot about me
You don’t remember
You don’t remember
Aye



You forgot about me
Who did
You did

You forgot about me
Who did
You did

You forgot about me
Who did
You did

You forgot about me
Who did
You did

You forgot about
