lyrics

This song goes out to any witch or wizard
who’s ever felt like a squib
This is our anthem
Can you hear us

I’m sure you’ve heard about the boy who lived
But have you ever heard of the boy of the boy who lived
If you have I would be shocked, sick of my old man’s fame
Before this song is over you’ll be shouting my name

Albus Severus I’m a wizard that’s true
Named after one head master and potions dude
Don’t get caught up in the hype and keep your thoughts to yourself
I’m just a kid with a wand from Olivander’s shelf

Chorus:

I don’t wanna be
Please don’t make me be
I don’t wanna be, don’t make me be
I don’t wanna be a Gryffindor

Got a C in potions didn’t think it wasn’t nothing
But my teacher called me out and man he started bugging
When your father was here he got an A in my class
I can’t believe a Potter would be this hard to pass

I got up from my seat and I won’t lie it got heated
It was the half-blood prince, that fool he was cheating
I walked out of my class and gave a nod to my teach
The air beneath my broom is too hard to reach

I’m not talking about jealousy, listen to me can’t you see
The shadow of a Potter can put you into delinquency
Voldemort was nothing short of crazy man that snake-faced dork
But when your dad’s a wizard being a muggle’s what you’re wishing for

Now that I’ve had a chance to spread my wings like a hippogriff
Let me get real with all of you for one minute
It’s not about mud blood, it’s not about pure blood
It’s about respect

I’m so sick of all haters chestin' up they all just baiters
Trying throw me off game why it gotta be all that man
Gonna throw the gauntlet down the room of requirement can’t be found
Unless you are in need of it let me tell you where I fit

Never gonna make a dumb horcrux, never gonna win that tri-wizard cup
Never gonna make that liquid luck, not gonna just let myself get stuck
In a house that’s so stuck up, yeah I think I’ve had enough
Yeah I think I’m giving up, gonna join the hufflepuffs
