(Gonzalo Zavala)
Here’s to our classes
Here’s to our lasses
Here’s to the lads they adore
You can see me in my cap
You can see me in my gown
Smile on my face
Paper in my hands
To the world I’ll explore (Aye)
Reppin’ orange and black
I’ll always be a slicer
I’mma always want more (Yuh)
Here’s to our classes
Here’s to our lasses
Here’s to the lads they adore
You can see me in my cap
You can see me in my gown
I’mma walk right out that door
Years go by like months
Time is a currency we only spend once
Yeah these memories go by like fireflies
I’ll make sure I’ll keep that score (Yuh)
(Rhymer/Educator)
S-S-S-L-I-C-C-E-R-S
Yeah you know who be the best in the Midwest
Regardless of the conference or the performance
We black and orange, we stay scoring
That's Slicer pride and we've been for it for generations
Who came before it?
Every plaque, medal, trophy that line the hall
Make up the story
Never shall we fall
"Go Slicers!" we stand tall
Leave wiser, your hands paw
For that diploma, congrats y'all
You came to learn and
When the page turns
You’re part of the family
That confirms you’ll always be a Slicer

46350 is where you gotta go
We’re not a big John Doe
Our school got some hype
Pep rally in the high
We really do got some pride
Honor, we can’t set aside
Orange and black is how we coincide the school
Won’t leave its side
This year took me on a ride
From there and back, to orange and black
I don’t know how I could go back
All the fans cheering in the stands
With the band playing
This an ode to our classes
A gift to the masses
Boasting our old high

(Lyrical LP on the track)
The song "Anthem" by Metro Station is a catchy upbeat tune that tells the story of a girl who wants to move on from a past relationship that has left her feeling unfulfilled. She decides to go out and see if there is more to life than what her ex-boyfriend gave her. Meanwhile, the guy is freaking out that she is out there alone, knowing that she is moving on and using what he gave her. The chorus repeats the phrase "I don't wanna be in love" with a fun dance beat, encouraging listeners to let loose and not be held back by past relationships.
The song provides an interesting commentary on the modern dating culture, where people are often more focused on finding the next best thing rather than appreciating what they have. The girl in the song is searching for more, but it is unclear if she will ever find it. Meanwhile, the guy is left scrambling when he realizes that he has taken her for granted, but it is too late for him to change his ways.
Overall, "Anthem" is a fun song with a deeper message that encourages listeners to live in the moment and not be held back by past relationships.
