Five years and a decade ago today
|
I got a NES for Christmas.
|
I started to play Castlevania II;
|
The first game that I purchased
|
After the Mario and Duck Hunt cross-cartridge.
|
It was a hobby of my generation, no doubt.
|
If you dissed Ganon, you know what I'm about:
|
Whippin' Dracula like fireballs at Koopa,
|
Javelins to Lucifer, arrows to Medusa.
|
Dragon Warriors- my game of choice.
|
And SNK Baseball would make a girl moist.
|
I power up my die; thought I was bad.
|
Then when I fired at them.. man, I felt sad.
|
Hour after hour I'd explored the land.
|
Cruisin' in the Turtle Van, yeah man!
|
Blowin' in the cartridge to get it to work.
|
Sometimes it'd even help to push it to the side.
|
Aside from that, it was all so much fun.
|
Sonic is a bitch, all he can do is run.
|
Pop in Contra, rip it apart-
|
Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start.
|
|
I thought it was the bomb makin' a game about Goonies.
|
Library titles like an an arcade in my room.
|
We stayed up all late night,
|
Hopin' that we would fight
|
Mike Tyson with Flamenco went down with a left-right.
|
Setting our goal, a two hour tradition,
|
After practicing Rygar in a mission
|
I could have another chance to fight Lygar.
|
If a sequel comes out, then make one for Strydar.
|
Why are these games being sold dirt-cheap?
|
'Cause River City Ransom took about eight weeks
|
To save our allowance; rememberin' how it felt
|
Waitin' for Mario 3 and like I'm in Auswitch.
|
|
Six bombs flash and I'm in one too.
|
Goombas be tryin' to grab on my shoe.
|
I don't care if the drums are static.
|
Negative one, you can tell it's a habit.
|
Mom tells me to put my clothes in the hamper,
|
Then I shoot her with my grey zapper.
|
She's tryin' to get me off to school,
|
But I tell her that I'm sick so that I can beat two.
|
I'm jumpin' around,
|
Flyin' around,
|
Goin' to town,
|
Killin' the slime,
|
Stoppin' time,
|
Skate Or Die,
|
Nintendo,
|
Bitch!
