RETRO84 Lyrics

The video arcade has made me what I am today

The game ain't the same it's just different now

Still trying to get my paper on a different route

Heard the love ain't the same from a different mouth

And they keep on acting like they get it now

They don't

I'm from an era with baggy clothes

Tape decks handle those problems with the fist

not the glicks like some animals

On the patio puffing on some dank

Hit the record store then my place

Got the new joint and I don't mean a stream

If you want to hear the whole thing, you buy the CD

If you did, you cherish every song that you heard

At the crib playing Contra waiting for my turn

Mom's screaming words but I don't hear a thing

I'm just stuck in the game with the crew trying to play

All day every day retro is the way

You can take my life and put it on cassette tape

In the best way I take it to the limit

Memorize every strategy just to win it

I'm the man when I bust out the dope moves

We be clowning on each other trying to make each other lose

I miss the old school and it's never been the same

I can reminisce about it all day till I'm old and gray

I beat my best score

I love this game

There's going to be no more there's going to be no more

Stealing quarters no more nights at the arcade

That was a game Santari

Game

You may have thought it was a game

But it was also a test

You guys are lame

What do you mean

I play that machine every Saturday of my life

I can win it in one try

You can

Come on

No way

What do I look like a nerd or something
