‘Hit Play’ Lyrics
Man, growin up in Schenec was wild man
My three main focuses tho was Hip-Hop
Watching anime
And playing video games
Ain’t much changed except now I got the homie Ab The Audicrat rockin with me
Yo the soundtrack to my life is all boom-bap
Sample flips and rainy days echo where my goons at
Don’t make me level up, in the cut with Dr. Slump
Pojo-sama had to translate the weekly Shonen Jump
I used to practice kickin rhymes from Illmatic
While fighting Mike Tyson in Punch Out but never passed it
Screamin damnit, I almost had it
20 years later learned about the camera flashin
I remember gettin mad when my mother said Raa-Kim
Just to piss me off and – always started laughing
Back then it was normal to try again
Pop another quarter in and take turns with ya friends
It’s all Hip-Hop, anime, and videogames
I get lost for a while when I need to escape
My whole life in the culture, I been diggin in crates
Finding records of the past, pop it in and hit play
It’s all Hip-Hop, anime, and videogames
I get lost for a while when I need to escape
My whole life in the culture, I been diggin in crates
Finding records of the past, pop it in and hit play
AngelFire was the illest for art
That was the first time I ever seen Super Saiyan 4
I used to battle cats in rap chats and creep on forums
To find the newest backpacker that was rappin for sport
And when Trees gave me mod status on the beatbox boards
It only made me hype and hungry for more
I went to Media Play, and it was raining that day
I met Ghostface and picked up a Wu-Tang tape
Then I went home to fight Jenova, before the night was over
I had drank enough Surge to put Akira in a coma
Best believe that I was tweakin when I heard the coda
Nearly over, go to sleep and wake up to record a
New joint on the radio from Busta Bus
And copped The Firms album just for Can-I-Bus
You couldn’t slide nothin by me, I threw on Toonami
Vibin out chillin out with my Gameboy beside me, like
It’s all Hip-Hop, anime, and videogames
I get lost for a while when I need to escape
My whole life in the culture, I been diggin in crates
Finding records of the past, pop it in and hit play
It’s all Hip-Hop, anime, and videogames
I get lost for a while when I need to escape
My whole life in the culture, I been diggin in crates
Finding records of the past, pop it in and hit play
