[Verse 1] Ricky Yip walks in first Already beat the sun Clock says six a.m. You know that man’s on one He grades like it’s war Confidence on sight If your p-value’s shaky He’ll send it back tonight [Verse 2] He says, “State your null” Then smirks like he knows “Show me your z-score Or watch the whole thing go” Teacher of the year With a dry little grin And somehow every pep rally He still somehow wins [Pre-Chorus] He’s got that calm stare Like, good luck, kid He’s been around the track Before most of us did Running laps in the dark With the world still asleep Then he shows up fresh Like he never lost sleep [Chorus] Ricky Yip won’t quit Ricky Yip won’t quit Run it back, run it back Ricky Yip won’t quit Ricky Yip won’t quit He’s built for the hit Stats like life or death Ricky Yip won’t quit [Verse 3] Bald head shining clean Like a badge of pride No wasted motion, man He just glides right by Healthy as a rumor Disciplined to the bone Lunch looks like a lab report And he still heads home To build a Gundam frame With a surgeon’s hand And a Lego city block That obeys his plan [Verse 4] Every school event He’s there in the room Late-night math club, field day Awards night, talent boom He’s the guy with the smile And the joke that stings Like “Nice try, that’s not proof” Then he laughs and swings Confidence intervals Rolling off his tongue Makes a room full of juniors Feel ninety young [Pre-Chorus] He’s got that calm stare Like, good luck, kid He’s been around the track Before most of us did Running laps in the dark With the world still asleep Then he shows up fresh Like he never lost sleep [Chorus] Ricky Yip won’t quit Ricky Yip won’t quit Run it back, run it back Ricky Yip won’t quit Ricky Yip won’t quit He’s built for the hit Stats like life or death Ricky Yip won’t quit [Bridge] Legends don’t slow down They just sharpen up Marathon heart In a coffee cup He’s the last one standing When the day falls apart Dry little grin Big unbreakable heart If the odds look ugly He just shrugs and says “Check the data, kids” Then he runs ahead [Final Chorus] Ricky Yip won’t quit Ricky Yip won’t quit Tell the whole damn school Ricky Yip won’t quit Ricky Yip won’t quit Yeah, that’s his hit Stats like life or death Ricky Yip won’t quit [Outro] Ricky Yip Ricky Yip Run it back Ricky Yip won’t quit
