about

Taking it back to NES, Excitebike and Megaman

lyrics

I'm sitting back thinking on my recollections

it's funny how life can show light and change perceptions

I was a lowlife, lonely with no dirrection

sleeping on park benches stuck in a deep depression

out at night busting heads open with rusty wrenches

Until I went right and learned from my many lessons

on the turnpike, burning another session

clutching weapons like countdown to armageddon

I'm praying to go confessing to the reverend

hoping my soul aint destined for hell's entrance

the violence was senseless, the anger was endless

the search for answers only left me with more questions

why was I born and what's my purpose

I think to myself as I write this in cursive

and spit verses that bring the truth to the surface

mc's getting taxed for their goods and services

I'm like Ryu, hittin dudes with a burning fist

scorching flesh with the heat of a million furnaces

ya'll aint grimey, or dirty as the germs I spit

so stop whining about life and just learn from it



I spit that 8bit Shit, Pop in the Cartridge,

were taking the rap game for hostage

sowing seeds with knowledge

we aint going nowhere, till were reaping the harvest x2



I'm moving forward, about to beat another stage

mc's are wasting their quarters, while we run the game

I've been coping with pain, since a younger age

trying to turn the page in my life

but couldn't stop the rage

smoking haze everyday just to ease the pain

putting thc in my brain to keep me sane

I tried to change but my efforts were all in vain

losing my way drinking cases of liquor by the day

I need to break free and leave from this evil place

but i'm tied to this shit like a needle and lace

the streets aint safe, there's people that beat on your face

and leave you bleeding, sleeping till you never awake

I made an escape and left town without a trace

flying through the sky like super man without a trace

looking back on my 8bit days, I would play NES till my eyes were glazed



I spit that 8bit Shit, Pop in the Cartridge,

were taking the rap game for hostage

sowing seeds with knowledge

we aint going nowhere, till were reaping the harvest x2



Why I always gotta be there when trouble happen

sometimes you gotta get kicked and punched like double dragon

before you realize life's pitfalls

it's too late when bullets hit your face like spitballs

the cops can't creep, nah

as long as walkie talkies on

we pack we in barrels and move it just like donkey kong

The courts are too expensive

I can't afford the truth

fly as a fuckin plane but get killed like 1942

nobody did it for me

so why would I step in and help ya

live and die by the sword like the legend of zelda

cmon, my life's been tough the pain's been real

the pressure gets pressed to your chest like blades of steel

my clicks always puffin on the best

northern lights or big buds

movin work knee deep in the dirt like dig dug

angerville, we coming from ontario's gutters

conscious thought and fortunato

super mario brothers
