[ Featuring Axiom ThaWyze ]
Things just ain't so simple the way they used to be
But we gon' play on all day long cause that's alright with me
And my people sayin' nah, they don't make em like they used to
Nah, they don't make em like they used to
Nah, they don't make em like they used to
Nah, they don't make em, they don't make em
I step into my zone, I'm a pixelated bomb
Collectin' hearts from the start, ain't no time to rewind
From an era with no loot boxes, no DLC
Had to drop another quartio to keep on leveling
It's the melodies of old and the chiptune symphonies
With the 8-bit glory, bringin' back those memories
In the golden age of hip-hop, bashin' on controllers
Hyro in the background in a 2-liter soda
Those were the days when everything was pure
When the lyrics were the canvas and the mic was the cure
Let's celebrate the old school, we shall endure
They don't make em like they used to, that's for sure
Raise a glass to the past, to the games in they prime
Where the true creative spirit would occupy your mind
Let the essence fill your manner, it's time to shine
They don't make em like they used to, but we keep the flame alive
Things just ain't so simple the way they used to be
But we gon' play on all day long, cause that's alright with me
And my people sayin
Nah, they don't make em like they used to
Nah, they don't make em like they used to
Nah, they don't make em like they used to
Nah, they don't make em, they don't make em
Yeah, ayo, I'm not complainin' or nothin
But back in my days, controllers only had one button
And it was all that we needed, although it wasn't the cleanest
But at least it was completed on the day they released it
Only for day one patches, I'm talkin' day one classic
Took all the A1 graphics and still they ain't gon' match it
This is how we make it bubble, man, I don't really understand
Rootin' for these jokers like a Nuggets fan
Cause nowadays couch co-op's a thing of the past
And if I can't beat it in a couple days, I'mma pass
Wish I had a hundred hours I could spend on the quest
Foundin' all of the secrets, now I'm fallin' asleep
With controllers in my hand, no unlocked achievements
Game or score, I'm private so nobody can see it
If you gamin' after 40 with kids, then I salute you
Cause they don't make em like they used to
Things just ain't so simple the way they used to be
But we gon' play on all day long
Cause that's alright with me
And my people sayin
Nah, they don't make em like they used to
Nah, they don't make em like they used to
Nah, they don't make em like they used to
Nah, they don't make em, they don't make em
