Adam WarRock - Retcon lyrics

[Verse 1:Adam WarRock] We held court in the land where gods and kings watched Our hearts forged with metal and great lessons were taught A great weapon was hoisted out the sky and it fell Cracking the ground beneath as the earth's belly had swelled And a man just a regular, ordinary, citizen Daydreaming through life though he battled against the listlessness To see the world, cause inside him there grew A power that made it's way from the gates the place is new Reading The Sword in the Stone he knew the stories of his father And he dreamed of bigger things though he rarely ever bothered Til the day when he was face-to-face a man in the mirror Fate's d**h-hand was nearer, the plan became clearer And any other day he might have pa**ed that by But any other day, wouldn't have the will to try But with that from inside He reached out and took control of his life Now the people all over the world know [Hook] Now I'm back To change the story And I'm Back To make it mine And I'm back To switch the history given to my by The gods and the creators whose hands touch the divine When my life was changed the day I first touched the mic This is the retcon The future's never gonna be the same This is the retcon I'll rewrite history again This is the retcon Adam's back to settle the score This is the new event back at your comic book store [Verse 2] He saw the ships that pa** the crashing waves of the sea We heard the immigrants forming their home communities And now the product of a scientist and a siren Forged a child next to the steel machines retiring Who once gripped the Atari controllers, paddles, and joysticks Facebook, art, and skateboards, things givin' him joy since The day he saw his heroes the way he was introduced To universes and people who changed-up all the rules And he cried for the Dark Phoenix, cheered for Cap's shield Watched as Wayne Manor produced theories to yield All the secrets for the villains that tried their best to diminish The people who cower shaking with monsters trying to extinguish And the hope would last long The heroes would prove wrong That good would beat evil The heart in him grew strong And he drew sketches, dreamed of winning contests And he held his hand up with the Infinity Gauntlet [Hook] Now I'm back To change the story And I'm Back To make it mine And I'm back To switch the history given to my by The gods and the creators whose hands touch the divine When my life was changed the day I first touched the mic This is the retcon My future's never gonna be the same This is the retcon I'll rewrite history again This is the retcon Adam's back to settle the score This is the new event back at your comic book store [Verse 3] And so he lived his life, further pushed the feeling back That maybe making their living was done through making raps And when he chose to focus on comics, super heroes, and such Watched as all the things he loved were slowly blowing up And so he quit his job and made the mission his name And he did shows for crowds; sometimes nobody came But he kept workin' and pushin' out the product to the ma**es Stayed deep in the Bat-cave figurin' out the patterns And now he's makin' the music and the people are listening Flow hot to touch: nitroglycerine And now he's hotter than lava John Blazin' the track And sold that old life story; he can never go back So he changed his history; now he's been on tour Released the hottest mix tape; made the people cheer more And now his origin story's gotta be written again Cause he's back better than ever; the beginning to the end to the beginning Ain't nothin' changed 'Cept everything [Hook] Now I'm back To change the story And I'm Back To make it mine And I'm back To switch the history given to my by The gods and the creators whose hands touch the divine When my life was changed the day I first touched the mic This is the retcon My future's never gonna be the same This is the retcon I'll rewrite history again This is the retcon Adam's back to settle the score This is the new event back at your comic book store
