[Verse 1]
Yo
Up, down, left, right, start, B, A
Things were way simpler back in the day
Games were fun, yet not complex
The stories [?] special effects
Pew, pew, pew is all we hear
As I'm making baby aliens disappear
And I Dig Dug deep for the hell of it
I be smoking my entire pack of cigarettes
My full position, exhaustive mission
Eating ghosts [?] superstition
Old school games are my tradition
Wanting them all in mint condition
Forgive me, Atari, I'm not even sorry
Couldn't make me stop even with harakiri
Oh God, we're going into the arcade
Like blowing my wallet up with a grenade
[Hook]
We gaming like it's '84
Room lit by the TV glow, oh
8-bit, we're slaying
If you are surveilling
Then you'll find us playing
Old school, old school
Playing games like we're old school
Acting like we're so cool
Damn, these games were so cruel
Old school, old school
Caffeine is our main fuel
[?] our main tool
Don't diss what we play, fool
[Verse 2]
Play... -ing games every day
Doing the opposite of what mama say
I... think these games are like wine
They only get better as they go through time
Old school, you can't best this
Stacked up like it's Tetris
Damn those games were sick, man
Ill... tetan*s
Blowing up asteroids like I'm a beast
Gaming's a blessing, [?] is the priest
Starting right here, then rising like yeast
These games are alive, not deceased
R.I.P. to one of the greatest to ever exist
Developed a lot, [?]
Satoru Iwata you are gon' be missed
[Hook]
[Bridge]
We play what we play
We don't care about what you say
Please don't hate, screw your way
Old school life, man, day by day
We play what we play
We don't care about what you say
Please don't hate, screw your way
Old school life, man, day by day
Gather 'round the TV, yeah, we got it going on
I hope when you see me you know I got it going on
Gather 'round the TV, yeah, we got it going on
I hope when you see me you know I got it going on
[Hook]
