Lyrics
Let me tell you a thing or two about Cosplay
Introduction to the theme of Cosplay, setting the stage for the song.
My one love.. one purpose
Expressing singular love and purpose for Cosplay.
Here's to all my fellow nerds emerging
Celebrating fellow nerds who participate in Cosplay.
Yeah we pimps at heart but introverted on the surface
Acknowledging introverted tendencies despite a confident appearance.
The type to spend more dollars making things from scratch, for less we could've purchased
Highlighting the dedication to creating costumes from scratch, despite the cost.
And that's where all our money goes
Explaining that most of the money is spent on Cosplay.
At least I'm looking fly while I'm hungry and broke
Humorous acknowledgment of looking good while facing financial challenges.
And sleep deprived, I've been up 3 days in a row
Mentioning sleep deprivation due to the time-consuming nature of Cosplay.
Barely finished this at seven in the morn
Indicating a late-night effort to complete a costume.
Shout out to cosplay photographers who help us make a presence
Expressing gratitude to photographers for capturing the presence of Cosplayers.
Shout outs to volunteers that help with Anime conventions
Acknowledging volunteers who contribute to Anime conventions.
To Jessica and Vampy for making cosplay relevant
Recognizing individuals like Jessica and Vampy for their impact on Cosplay.
And other internet celebs I may have failed to mention
Apologizing for any omission of internet celebrities related to Cosplay.
Some think we do it cause we crave attention but I aim to differ
Rejecting the notion that Cosplayers seek attention solely.
Cause when I'm wearing it the stress and pain is lifted
Claiming stress relief and authenticity when wearing a Cosplay costume.
Ain't pretending cause this is the realest, and
Emphasizing the genuine self expressed through Cosplay.
Genuine version of me that they will witness, sing it with me
Encouraging others to join in and sing about their authentic selves.
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a Cosplayer
Celebrating the identity and activities of a Cosplayer, mentioning specific interests and experiences.
You follow the Kardashians I follow Han & Leia
-With some glue, needles and a sharp razor
-I'm ripping EVA foam and stitching fabric all day
-This the anthem, this is for Fandom
-One Punch Man and Dragon Ball are my jam
-Convention Raves and Voice Actor Panels
-This camp is my Cosplay Family
-Haha, yeah I'm a Cosplayer

-Nerds, being ourselves, we're not afraid of.. uhh
-And man we're such a bunch of weebs
-Kawaii on the street, Senpai under the sheets
-Marvel superhero or a champion from League
-You can be anybody out here we're judgment free
-Yet there's only a handful that act like you're beneath em
Acknowledging judgmental attitudes within the Cosplay community and advising to ignore elitism.
Try not to mind them, every crafts got it's elitists
-Every con might have it's creepers
-Just don't make anyone believe or feel that they're beneath you
-Whether you're a fit man or an attractive female
Encouraging unity regardless of physical appearance and promoting positive leadership.
We're all in this together wiling out so by example we may have to lead em
-Unlike those who'd rather act conceited
