I woke up at noon on a summer day Watched cartoons while I stuffed my face Cleaned my room and I scrubbed some plates Then I stepped to my mother with something to say I know it ain't quite the end of the month But I need my allowance for the vidjas Look, if I walk down the block with a fist of bucks They'll put my initials in history books I'll trade that paper for a pocket of quarters Play that game 'til it's conquered and over Moms said "fine" and she spotted me four I said, "one more?" got tossed out the door Okay. Four bucks. Sixteen turns More than enough to convince these nerds I'm a warrior. Oh yeah. Pixel murderer Slow it up. Hold on. Victory's earned one Game at a time. Kinda thinkin' Kong But I changed my mind when I laid my eyes on a Brand new machine with a crazy design Swear to god it had my name on the side First two run throughs rusty. Must need a Slushie Sugar rush! Now they can't touch me Me. That cost 50 cents Whatever I still got plenty left I'm in the zone. Danger. Twilight. Name it Heart rate rise while climb in the rankings Some get high on the lye or the jancum I just gotta be the king of the arcade Thumb slip at a crucial moment, lose a token Fifth place, fourth pace, movin' forward Focus. guy in back heard gawking Never seen a joystick whacked so awesome So I step to the boss with two lives left Last time here he chewed my head And I die on the spot like a noob i'm dead Got 25 cents to prove my cred Whole arcade comes 'round to see me Beat this boss or bow in defeat I sink my shot while the crowd is screaming Top of the leaderboard now VVV I'm never gonna try again. I'm never gonna die again I think I got it this time. I promise I'm never gonna try again. I'm never gonna die again I think I got it. This time, I'm on it It's a long way down to the next bonfire I'm tired. I've had enough Yup. Yo, if I stop right now I won't hit my target I'm a fighter. I can't give up. Get it Dunce I see you clippin' through the wall, Mr. Bad guy I see you respawn fast when I pass by But it's been hours since I made it to a checkpoint This journey doesn't autosave and I'm a slave to getting boinked I'd be lying if I said it wasn't an ego thing I kept my console on for a whole week, I think It's been getting overheated like my temper is Kratos damn, I will get my vengeance in "Yo, Duncey, lemme give it a try But, don't beat it, Vin, or else I'll blow All I do is win though! Take the knee, then, if you're gettin' close Okay. I don't just understand why playin' if it gets you mad Well, victorys sublime after the 90 Deaths I've had And in three months my muscle memory is dumb I see you frustrated trying to get that perfect run I'll pick it up, and clear it like the wind do clouds Acting like a natural floating past what keeps you down I'm never gonna try again. I'm never gonna die again I think I got it this time. I promise I'm never gonna try again. I'm never gonna die again I think I got it. This time, I'm on it It's a long way down to the next bonfire I'm tired. I've had enough Yup, but if I stop right now I won't hit my target I'm a fighter. I can't give up. Nuh. Nuh
