Lyrics
[INTRO] Yeah Uh
Professor really looked at me like
“Choose wisely…”
Bro I was ten
I picked the cool one
[VERSE 1] Walked into the lab like I already made it
Mom cried twice, rival instantly hated
Professor Oak old, breath probably ancient
Still judging me for the starter I’m taking
Bulbasaur smart but I’m not a botanist
Squirtle too calm, I got confidence problems with confidence
Charmander?
Yeah that dude got motion
Tiny fire lizard, teenage boy dopamine
Took one look and said:
“Yeah… we getting badges”
Five minutes later almost died to a Caterpie attack and
Mom texting:
“Dinner at 7” Meanwhile I’m unconscious somewhere on Route 11 Got one Potion
Three dreams
No money
One Pokédex nobody reading but me
Caught two Pidgeys cause I panic under pressure
Now my whole team built like disappointed stepbrothers
[HOOK] Starter pack, starter pack
Whole career built off one little backpack
One tiny Pokémon and a dream that’s cap
Talk big online then I black out in battle attacks
Starter pack, starter pack
I said I’d be Champion right after math class
Now I’m broke buying Potions with tax
And my rival got six badges somehow this fast
[VERSE 2] My rival pulled up:
“Smell ya later”
Bro talks like a Disney bully elevator operator
Meanwhile I’m stuck fighting bugs in the forest
Got lost three times, cried once, still recording
Everybody in the region got opinions
“Type advantages matter”
Yeah well explain my feelings
Cause emotionally I’m weak to everything
One Geodude appear and my whole team leave the ring
I be throwing Poké Balls like investments
Missing every legendary encounter, impressive
Professor calling asking:
“How’s the Pokédex?”
Brother I been gambling at the Game Corner stressed
Spent all my cash on a Magikarp
Dude useless
But emotionally?
That fish moved different
Now we locked in
Day one homies
Even if he only know Splash and disappointment
[HOOK] Starter pack, starter pack
Whole life changed from one starter attack
Young trainer talking like a Hall of Fame act
Then I lose to a dude named “Bug Catcher Zach”
Starter pack, starter pack
Still got dreams in a beat-up backpack
I ain’t quit yet, remember that
Even legends started out bad stats
[OUTRO] Yeah
Real trainers know
First gym had me fighting for my life
But we here now
Kinda
Not really
… I need a Full Restore emotionally
