The dudes and I were crackin' around To check out the scene of our old downtown We found some chicks that thought They were better than us so we fell in love We tried our best to talk to them They said they were the Creme dela Creme And said that we were nonsense So we jumped to karate stance and said "We are not the nonsense We are the catalyst We are not the nonsense We are the catalyst" The dudes and I were hanging out In places we used to where rock was the sound We found some chicks that thought They were better than us so we fell in love We tried our best to talk to them They said they were the Creme dela Creme And said that we were nonsense So we jumped to karate stance and said "We are not the nonsense We are the catalyst We are not the nonsense We are the catalyst Catalyst, catalyst, catalyst" "We are not the nonsense We are the catalyst We are not the nonsense We are the catalyst" "We are not the nonsense We are the catalyst We are not the nonsense We are the catalyst"
