Growing up I was amazed
memorized by the colors and sounds left in a daze
on my birthday a Sega Genesis with Sonic The Hedgehog and Streets of Rage
other kids had other games we would trade
Altered Beast he would ride from the grave
yeah those were the days
felt like Pac Man my mind trapped in a maze
I'd always go back to playing with Axel Maxx Skate and Blaze
but Mama always said stop playing games...
going to school a few C's B's and A's
forget to do my homework drop my book bag and play
put it in once didn't work blow the cartridge like a Jay
EarthWorm Jim, Toe Jam & Earl, Mortal Kombat 2 what could I say?...
Spell it with a C so you know it's not a game
but Mama always said stop playing games
years later a grey box with a disk tray
on Christmas day
Playstation a demo disk Saga Frontier, Final Fantasy 7 and Xenogears with Bart and Fei
Twisted Metal twist my mental then Odd World trying to escape from being a slave
but Mama always said stop playing games
Get over here!!! Hadokens!!! Sonic Boom!
the sounds that would come from the TV in my living room
Tank top and brown short Raiding those Tombs
Spiderman battle Carnage the Fantastic 4 Dr. Doom
Resident Evil searching rooms for keys and clues
trying to run through blocks Intelligent Cube
so eager to play sometimes I'd forget to eat food
waking up in the morning eating cereal and watching cartoons
right after back to the controller I thought I was cool
she said keep it up these games will turn you to a fool
Mama always said stop playing games later I realized everything she was saying was true....
