[Verse 1]
See, I'm tryin' to explain what I do on the daily
To ladies and gentlemen that stuck in the eighties
Stuck in the Brady Bunch, they look at me crazy
'Cause I ain't playing the drums or the ukelele
Nah, maybe I play the bass
Or maybe I'm paid to take shape like Ricky Gervais
And just stand up, demand your hands up
Only understand if you ain't a fan of Hannah Montana
Gotta laugh when they ask what my name is
"You're famous, I know that band that you play in"
"Who? Me? Nah that ain't me, wrong Drapht"
I've been making my mark for playin' air guitar
"I make more noise than heavy metal"

[Chorus]
Disregardin' me being an artist
Didn't want to see me start
Playin' the air guitar
I play the air guitar
And if anyone ask you
Listen up on their behalf
I play the air guitar
I play the air guitar

[Verse 2]
Step on stage, the fans are rough
'Cause I move like Chuck Berry and Angus Young
Genghis Khan killer with an invisible lacks
You're living like Frank Zappa with a rhythm of Slash
You riddle me this, little pivotal clap
Those rats that called me wigger now listen to me rap
Uh, okay, back in the day, remember back then?
Didn't sound like back in the states, we had an accent
I had an accent, yeah, I had an accent
Sounded like the way that I spoke and that was actin'
From a graffer to rappin' upon a beat
I wanted to be a DJ, but scratchin' it wasn't cheap
So I rapped to an industry, more of a convention
Didn't have an instrument, you didn't get a mention
Okay, our scene won't last
Aha yeah, I get it, you rather me play the air guitar
[Chorus]
Disregardin' me being an artist
Didn't want to see me start
Playin' the air guitar
I play the air guitar
And if anyone ask you
Listen up on their behalf
I play the air guitar
I play the air guitar

[Verse 3]
See, I got people tearin' down the walls
Crowd surfin' like listenin' to rock and roll
The whole crowd is boxed in, head bangin' like boxin'
Danny Green, you lost it soon as the beat drops in
Knocks him off the feet, gots to have it
Rocking him back and then forth, complete madness
You can imagine a man-made way
People dancin' on site like it's Hussain's grave
And my irate neighbours hated me doin' this
Three AM and still playin' my music
"Enough! You gotta stop turnin' it up!"
"Nah, nah, you know that ain't me, I play the air guitar"
"I make more noise than heavy metal"

[Chorus]
Disregardin' me being an artist
Didn't want to see me start
Playin' the air guitar
I play the air guitar
And if anyone ask you
Listen up on their behalf
I play the air guitar
I play the air guitar
I play the air guitar
