Lyrics

Verse 1

Introduction of the speaker's experience as a student.

I wasn't cool by any semi standard definition

Expressing a lack of coolness by societal standards.

Or really any at all, all

Emphasizing the absence of coolness in any aspect.

Scholastically speaking I wasn't the model student

Admitting to not being the ideal student academically.

But still tried out for basketball

Despite academic struggles, trying out for basketball.

I blamed my teachers for my general lack of concentration

Blaming teachers for lack of focus but acknowledging internal struggles.

But really it was in my mind, mind

Recognizing that concentration issues were internal.

My parents seats weren't in the bleachers for my graduation

Parents not present at graduation, suggesting a challenging relationship.

I made it out in my own time

Graduating on personal terms despite challenges.


Fuck

Expression of frustration or disappointment.


Chorus

Wooooo-woooooo-woooooo-woooo

Verse 2

Start of the second verse.

Growing up, i used to laughs

Reflecting on a past where laughter and Jansport were reliable.

Only Jansport really had my back

Expressing loyalty to Jansport as a brand.

I came into the world an outcast (yeah-yeah)

Feeling like an outcast from birth.

I didn't dress the same, I didn't act the same

Being different in appearance and behavior.

But the popular kids peaked around 17

Contrasting personal growth with popular kids.

And the only peaking i did was looking for a fuck to give

Emphasizing a lack of interest or concern during teenage years.

(hahaha)

Humorous remark about not caring.

Cause it's easy to be all that

Commenting on the ease of conforming to societal expectations.

If college didn't work out they had a fallback

Highlighting the advantage of a fallback plan if college fails.

Born with the middle name added to the trust fund

Contrasting a privileged upbringing with personal challenges.

Me i was born with my middle finger up

Rebellion represented by being born with a raised middle finger.

Holes in my clothes and my sensed of normal fucked

Describing a non-conventional and chaotic sense of normality.

I wasn't a bad kid, just fucking awful at standing straight

Acknowledging personal struggles with posture or conformity.
