1UP (Video Games Part II)

[Verse 1: Hons]
Yo, save the princess, save the world
Spent my teens in front screens instead of chasing girls
Way too busy jumping barrels on computers
Clocking Robocop 2, you can call me Duke Nukem
(Come get some!) That’s a link to my past
The pitfall of my life but always driven by heart
If we being honest man then my favourite game would have to be
Wonderboy in Monsterland, played it till controllers jam
Mario and Duckhunt, original split screen
Both on one cartridge it was hard to keep that shit clean
Always had Megadrive, guess I was arrogant
Big Head mode on the Jam when I was slamming it
The era golden like the axe was
Spoiled as a kid man I had the whole catalogue
I was born to play, never was I bored a day
Dust off the Commodore and load up California Games

[Verse 2: Phatty Phew]
Yeah, I’ma fuck you up, pistol sideways and duck hunting
I’m here to kick arse and chew bubblegum (And I’m all outta gum)
Power battle double jump, Mortal Kombat uppercut
Scorpion hold, block and press up, up
Hard from Lara Croft (babetality)
Learned everything I knew from Leisure Suit Larry
Was in the game more than EA is
Still wondering where the fuck Carmen in San Diego is
VGA 286 (believe)
NBA Jam with sticky tape on a Queen's head
Yeah I love GTA 5 dude
But I’m still doing kill frenzies in a bird’s eye view
On the main menu (Yeah?)
Press square, triangle, circle, x, x, circle, triangle, square (toasted)
I feel old is better
Call it retro, we call it the golden era

[Hook: Sesta]
And I don’t really know how to feel
If I should be impressed with this world or the graphics are real
Maybe I should leave it alone, get outta home
But no they got games on my mobile phone
So (Game over) When I’m down give me 1UP
(Game over) When I’m down give me 1UP
(Game over) When I’m down give me 1UP
(I dreamt I was stuck in this game of rap music)

[Verse 3: Sesta]
Can’t fight, played Shinobi, thought it taught me to swing
Till I bumped into a stranger and lost all of my rings
If you wanted to multi-play it with me you’re staying over
Couldn’t save but when I was dead that mean game is over
Though it kept me sober, my social life was easy
'Cause when I was alone that mean nobody could beat me
Didn’t need connections, don’t worry if I’m laggin'
Bumbag a twenties and coming for Double Dragon
Never lost a controller because they wired
But then again I never passed school 'cause I was tired
Bitch please, I’m playing Civ 3
Road Rashing and crashing it on the split screen
Corpse looter, don’t like the shooter
The view is much better on computer
So don’t complicate it, reality been overrated
I’m just kinda glad that I made it

[Verse 4: K21]
I rose from my coffin to start roastin' your squadron
Postin' your losses and then I’m ghosts to your goblins
Adrian's an alien who’s canin' 'em and tamin' 'em
Freddy, Jason, or Damian when I step on the stage again
Don’t wait for an invitation I’ll rock it like I'm raptor
Haxor with a hacksaw, hackin' into an actor
Who’s bigger headed than NBA Jam and I tore the backboard
Keep a couple rumble packs stored up in my stash draw
Use my lawn mower like I’m playin' Dead Rising
To shred a competitor left 'em redder than M. Bison
Cognac sipper slash bomb rapper spitter
With the pen I murder ink like I’m a contract killer
The Single Minded Civil’ now I’m part of the baddest army
Kill everyone on the track then off myself, kamikaze
Own a pro acting smarmy like behave yourself
Put a dollar in your arse 'cause you played yourself

[Hook: Sesta]
And I don’t really know how to feel
If I should be impressed with this world or the graphics are real
Maybe I should leave it alone, get outta home
But no they got games on my mobile phone
So (Game over) When I’m down give me 1UP
(Game over) When I’m down give me 1UP
(Game over) When I’m down give me 1UP
("I dreamt I was stuck in this game" "Game over")

[Verse 5: Trials]
(Hadouken!) Yep! Hit 'em with that Shin Shorhyken
Where I stay, havin' a baby is the new gen
The next gen intrusive (hello!) should've read books (you should)
Saw this woman in labor and when I said push
Out the pipes like a water pour device
Leaving the Vault 101 walkin' towards the light
With a Stimpak for the stats, bottle caps for the cash
Then I open up the VATS for the rats
Bioshock dead body in Blacka's Fanta pants
You must defeat Sheng Long to even stand a chance
T’s playing RPGs looking for something
Even offline I find somebody pushing my buttons
And it's over, Soldier of Fortune of poor tunes, gold edition
Need for Speed in the pole position
Golden Gun against that loaded PP7
Till I pulled out my (yeah!) then revealed a secret weapon
