Lyrics:

[Kid]
Hey, Gunner Kid, how do you do it?

[Hook]
I never skip a class, got my Netter’s cards in my pocket
I-I-I’m gunning, Don’t you think I’m stunning?
Yes you know I’m awesome

[Gunner 1]
Walk into the class like «What up, I’ma be a sweet doc»
So ahead on reading man I’m done with the next block
Harvard on my chest, it’s so damn stunnin’
That people like, «Damn! That’s some Ivy League gunnin'»

Rollin’ in, on the dot, headin’ to the frontest row
Stayed in Friday night, date with Linda….Costanzo
Gotta be the best, no one sittin’ next to me
They probably shoulda studied more renal physiology
(Pissssssssssssssssss)
But hey — I got 99%!

[Gunner 2]
Schmoozin’ it, rockin’ it, ‘bout to go and get some compliments
Raise my hand in class to show everyone I know my sh–
But my thoughts are so complex I’m talkin’ and chalkin’ and
flow-chartin’ just like a boss for their benefit,
I’ma be an orthopod, I’ma be an orthopod
No for real – ask your mama – hands like a demigod.

Fall first year and studying for boards
Tutoring the second years like I’m an overlord
Have a bunch of interest clubs, joined a bunch of interest clubs
President of three, and I think I’ll start a Gunner Club

[Gunner 3]
Hello, hello, my ace man, Professo
Always seeking my advice, I’m consultin’ while I shadow
Doesn’t matter if it’s pulm, GI, or cardio
So buff in my scrubs, I’m like «Welcome to the gun show.»

[Hook X2]

[Gunner 3]
What you know about cranial nerves in your noggin?
What you knowin’ about connecting weird symptoms?
I’m searching, I’m searching, I’m searching right through that PubMed
One man’s night off, that’s another man’s gunning

Thank your med school for accepting the best ever doctor
Cause right now I’m doctorin’ to all
At the physical, you can find me first in line
I’m not, I’m not sick of searchin’ in that rectum

[Gunner 1]
Your grammy, your aunty, your momma, your mammy
I take their BPs and their pulses, all by hand, I rock that phys exam!
They’ll be in hypovolemic shock now, give fluids man!
I have the history on lock now, you know it man!

They be like «Oh, my chest feels hella tight»
I’m like, «Yo, that’s some angina pectoris»
Lack of oxygen, let’s give some nitroglycerin
Learning angina pectoris–that’s advanced knowledge (Yeeep)
I called that when we all got pimped (Yeeeep)
I called that because I knew my business

[Gunner 2]
It’s not easy though
I’m skipping meals while you waste time at lunch talks, bro.
Big brain, come and take a look through my microscope
Trying to out-gun me
Man you hella won’t

[Gunner 1 & 3]
Man you hella won’t

[Kid]
Gunner Kid! Running Class! Yeah!

[Hook]

[Bridge X2]
I wear my clean white coat
I look incredible
Put on my stethoscope
My doctor skills are good as gold

[Hook]

[Kid]
You’re not a doctor yet!
