[Verse] Blip-blop, my life's on pause, cartridge in the slot Pixel dreams, chasing rings, Sonic never forgot 16-bit schemes, I'm scheming on the block Enemies respawn, but my grind never stops Loading screens flash, my path glitchin' in the haze Infinite lives, but still stuck in this maze Controller in my palm, can't reset these days Button-mash survival, just tryna get paid [Chorus] Level up, level up, no cheat codes here Through the dark, through the fear, sub-bass in my ear Level up, level up, can't game over now No restart, no bow, just kings with a crown [Verse 2] Joystick fiend, I'm Mario in the sewers Plumbing these streets, dodging shells and the rumors Coins in my pocket, Bowser's fire gettin' closer Heart beatin' faster, game's no composer Sub-drums thump, feel the bass in my chest Techno dreams mixed with gangsta finesse Every pixel sharp, no time for regrets From the arcade to the grave, I’m a glitch in the flesh [Bridge] Save points erased, I’m rogue with the code Shadow steps silent, I’m hacking the mode Infinite ammo, my lyrics unload I’m the boss fight, baby, no easy road
