Prestige the Stickman Lyrics
Prestige The Stickman

Was a fun, amazing, soul

He was black as coal

Is tall as a pole

And is very lovable

Prestige The Stickman

Was a statue once they say

But then something uncool

At the Mica high School

Made him rise that very day

There must have been some magic

From the ukulele's magical sound

When Stargirl strummed throughout the room

Guess who began to dance around

Prestige The Stickman

Was alive as he could be

And the students say

He was fun all day

And he’s just like you and me

Prestige The Stickman

Saw something bad happen one day

And he said “Oh god, It didn’t last long”

“Now we have Stargirl to hate!”

Down through the hallways

Leading protests when he can

Chanting here and there

Without a care

Yelling “Join me if you can"

He led kids down

The streets of town

And bought them to the top

But that was the very moment

His insanity had dropped

Hoppity Hop hop

Hoppity Hop hop

Looking at Prestige go

Hoppity Hop hop

Hoppity Hop hop

Even through ice and snow

Prestige The Stickman

He left on the last day

But he waved goodbye and said “Don’t get high”

“Cuz I’ll meet your kids one day!”
