Ayo, quick man, I think Shine headed to the arcade, man
Nah, y'all ain't taking me no place
I'm sliding right on out of here
See y'all
Come on, Shine, man
Come on, Shine, what are you always doing, man?
Shine, why you always do this, man?
Every time we go somewhere, you always wanna act
All the time
Man, you just don't want us to go
Aight, cool
This better be good, though, 'cause y'all get cool
You know that
Come on
One day I took a ride to see a friend
To my surprise, the man was a kid again
He ran back to the television, took a seat
Big change 'cause he used to love to run the streets
I closed the door, made myself at home
He was acting as if he was in a Twilight Zone
I won't say no names, though he showed no shame
He jetted back to the world of a video game
ย
So there he sat with his eyes criss-crossed
Pushing buttons looking like he's in the land of the lost
I tried to get his attention so I stepped in the way
He said, "Shine, you wanna get boom-bashed today?"
I backed off to look to see what was so fascinating
After a while, I too was participating
Not because of my friend's harsh words
But because of the def melody I heard
Hit it
ย
He just sat on the mat, every point he'd catch
Looking like he's straight out a cabbage patch
Quite content at scoring his points
Now he don't remember nothing about sowing no joints
But after two hundred thousand points or so
He messed up so I think it's my turn to go
Me, Mario, I'm a man tango
Just having a ball with some Nintendo
Hit it
ย
One summer afternoon around twelve noon
We decided to visit a few game rooms
Must have been about a hundred strong
Ninja Gaiden, Tecmo Football to Donkey Kong
Seemed like a whole lot of fun
We was looking for the MB-1
And when we found it, that's when we begun
But within seconds, my quarter was done
I scored next to none
Man, man
You gotta play video games
Come on, man, let me get some more change, man
Come on, man, change
Shine, man, you doing my money, man
All of my money
Yo, I ain't playing
One more time, man, come on, man
Crazy
Yo, come on
I felt this bit 'cause everybody was laughing
"Shine, you wanna play me?" That's what they was asking
A joke nation too that I thought I could beat
With thick bulletproof glasses and big buck teeth
I challenged him to a game, I even let him choose
Thinking to myself, "Ain't no way I'ma lose"
After five hundred thousand points, he wouldn't stop
The crowd was rolling, I lined up his neck and said, "Bop"
Bop
ย
I like the game but I guess it got the best of me
So for now I'll just stick to the melody
And learn how to play when I'm all alone
Bet I won't get laughed at if I stay at home
And just practice 'til I become an expert
And then I won't get my feelings hurt
So I'm gonna go chill with Mario
'Cause I'm feeling for the sound of some Nintendo
Hit it
