Back in the day Lyrics

Rat race, playing cheap games, sold out

2,000 kings, know what I'm talkin' bout

Golden Age pixels, 8-bit glory

Controllers tight, tellin' your own story

Console wars, fierce like a street fight

Cartridges blow, sonic speeds take flight

Now loot boxes gotta pay for the win

Games grindin', nickel and diamond, what a sin

Skill on the back burner, no talent needed

Swamp of microtransactions, heart bleeded

Now loot boxes gotta pay for the win

Games grindin', nickel and diamond, what a sin

Skill on the back burner, no talent needed

Swamp of microtransactions, heart bleeded

Back in the day, had to earn those feats

Now it's all dollars, no skill in the streets

Rat race, playing cheap games, sold out

2,000 kings, know what I'm talkin' bout

Master Chief game tight, reach for the peak

Tony Hawk skate parks, couldn't be beat

Now paywalls gotta drop, mad stacks

Skills matter none, just payin' to relax

Arcades buzz, joy in every beat

Now the grid's thick, very discreet

From Mario's jump, to micro-dump

Cash grab tactics, leave you stumped

Back in the day, had to earn those feats

Now it's all dollars, no skill in the streets

Rat race, playing cheap games, sold out

2,000 kings, know what I'm talkin' bout
