Intro
(Yo)
Nah for real, lemme paint you the picture real quick
(Okay, okay)
Verse 1
I'm the realest in the game at bein' painfully mediocre
Checkin' my account like a nervous undercover broker
Forty-three dollars, that's the kingdom that I'm rulin'
Venmo request pending like a threat, and I'm not foolin'
Got a six-year plan but I drafted it on a napkin
Smell like a sandwich shop 'cause that's literally what happened
Dating apps got me swipin' till my thumb develop calluses
She said "you seem fun," then she ghosted, that's the malice
Rehearse my own jokes in the mirror like a weirdo
Peaked at the eighth-grade spellin' bee, behold a hero
Chorus
I'm average (average), gloriously plain
Mediocre superstar, no glory, no champagne
But I'm winnin' in my mind where the bar is on the floor
Celebrate the little wins, then I cry and want some more
I'm average (so average), wear it like a crown
Tallest of the short kings in the saddest part of town
(Average, yeah)
Verse 2
Roommate ate my leftovers, labeled, with my name on it
Confronted him politely, then apologized, I'm spineless, honest
Microwaved a Hot Pocket, third-degree burn on a molar
Told the doc it was skiing, now I'm livin' as a poser
Got a gym membership I fund but functionally donate
Treadmill's seen me twice, both times to use the cold gate
LinkedIn say I'm "passionate," that's corporate for unemployed
Manifestin' on a vision board I bought to fill the void
Chorus
I'm average (average), gloriously plain
Mediocre superstar, no glory, no champagne
But I'm winnin' in my mind where the bar is on the floor
Celebrate the little wins, then I cry and want some more
I'm average (so average), wear it like a crown
Tallest of the short kings in the saddest part of town
(Average, yeah)
Bridge
(Yo, that's the brain again)
And the brain like, "bro, you really think this is a flex?
You forty bucks from broke and still bizarre about your ex"
But honestly the chaos kinda makes a decent song
So we leanin' in the mess 'cause at least the mess belong
Outro
(Haha, yeah)
So here's to the average, raise a lukewarm glass
Mediocre forever, baby, built to last
(Average... that's me)
