10 Years
10 years ago
Two boys ventured into Halo 3 matchmaking
To start their journey making charming
Yet often cringey music videos
This is a trip down memory lane
For all their homie g shizzle dawgs
It's been 10 years and I still can't wrap
My head around the fact that
We still make raps
Take it back to '08 with "The Greatest Ever"
This is the same track
We just made it better
Reminiscin' the Machinima golden age
Red vs Blue showed the road we'd take
Started with Halo 3, that led to COD
This is JT Machinima's history
Now looking back on it
There's a lotta nostalgia
First vid - Wizard Battle
(can we take that one down, bruh?)
White guys can rap - now
We're not so proud of
But in '09 - we signed a contract
Made our first album we never had a mission
But the vision was there
Soon as the viewers tuned in
Felt like a privilege you cared
About the goofy music vids we
Made from our own rooms
First time on camera - making bold moves
Acting like we're Halo pros, back in the day
Who remembers the "noob"? That's
How I actually played
I'll show you my shaft
While playing Minecraft
Then we had all the mobs rap - besides Ghast
Then came college - and all the student bills
Getting book-smart but still
Honing our skills
Back in '11 I lost Skull - couldn't find him
I was in Heaven, if Heaven's called Skyrim
We met an Australian, andrea Storm Kaden
We put her in our raps
How much better she made them
First collab that we had was the Halo 4 rap
Now half our fans would rather that
She made her own tracks
Took us 5 years to get 100K subs
Ooo, look a plaque - that's
Something to hang up
Goodbye old logo, ain't forgetting that
We got a new one, but Patfan got a tat
After FNAF came out, we had Five Long Nights
Now 70 million of you have
Joined us for a bite
Any new games coming? Scott, do not make 'em
That means more songs - that
Means I gotta play 'em
Overwatch just got in town
And it sounds like a game
We ain't ever putting down
We've made hero raps, and battles with TF2
Plus we rock at the game
Not in competitive dude
First time Pat really started to rap
Was Soldier 76 - he was a natural at that
I ordered costumes for us, what a good idea
I didn't wanna wear it
I don't mean to be a DVa
We tried out Twitch - but
That wasn't our game
Thanks to all 10 people who usually came
So we kept grinding out a music video a week
Never thought we'd hit a million, but in 2017
You all helped the dream come true
Platonically speaking, we love you!
Plus every friend we've made in
The gaming music community
Inspiring each other to keep
Growing and improving
Started shooting more live action videos too
Wouldn't happen without having such
A kick-ass crew we met our friend River
He made-a-wish come true
Joined RoosterTeeth - wait
They made Red vs Blue
This channel began so we could keep in touch
It was all just for kicks
Never seemed like much
We were just 2 kids with lots
Of games on our wish-lists
Now we got an office and we
Run it like a business
This rap may sound like we're bragging about
All the nerdy fun stuff that we do
This next line's cheesy
But we wouldn't be here
If it wasn't for you!
Thanks for lending your ears
For these past 10 years here's to another 10
Let's grab some beers!
