8-Bit Hero Lyrics by Creative Mind Frame (1-UP)

I LOVE THE 90s! (And 80s and 2000s a little too)

2014

[Intro]
Board Director: Alright with this new graphics card we have in the system... we can up our graphics by 16 times!!

1-UP: Well... Why don't we spend a little bit of time developing the story line?

Board: Story line?! What?! Are you out of your mind kid? Get out of here! (Must be crazy... That's the new guy...)

[Verse 1 : 1-UP]

First consoles I ever rocked? SNES and had a Sega
Before I was slashing the beats I was slashing around as Vega
I was rocking all day with these 16 bit heroes
When I picked up any cartridge there was rarely any fear though
Grabbed me from the start with an opening prologue
You like stories inside of your stories? (heh) Yo Dawg!
Companies act like greedy goblins (yeah) they trying to rob me bro
You’ll never stop me, from playing Pocky and Rocky though
You know you’re out of luck, you better Bauer up
I started with these throwing cards then I got my power ups
I’m heating up! Scratch that... I be on fire!
End your career with that NBA Jam super dunk - RETIRED
When I need escapes man I never had to go far
Switching up the games faster than weapons playing Gunstar
Instead of screwing up then playing blame games
We should take a cue from Comix Zone get on the same page

[Hook : 1-UP]
Gimme 8 Bits (Gimme 16!)
Gimme 8 Bits (Gimme 16!)
The graphics of your game shouldn't offset all your story line
We need a coup d'état take back real games and make the story mine

Gimme 8 Bits (Gimme 16!)
Gimme 8 Bits (Gimme 16!)
I'm the best kid, I've been tested
I'm coming and dropping these lyrics on tracks you fools get Megaman X'ed kid

[Verse 2 : 1-UP]
Let’s do a Scorpion and try bring it back, what you think of that? Graphics are nice... but trim the fat!
Just nostalgic for when games went HAM son, Damn son!
It’s like some game developers straight sold their souls to Shang Tsung
I’ll have em feeling my message just like I’m John Locke
And get em thinking more bout the path they take (do a Barrel roll!) Star Fox
Visuals cover a lot and while you’re fooling most
Get some skin in the game! Act like it's Ghouls and Ghosts
A game for the graphics bro you’ll never see me buy that
And I keep my characters swag higher than an Airwing soaring Lylat
Put em at peace see which company faltered least
When it’s time to power up these games just like an Altered Beast (POWER UP!)
Give me battle toads, give me streets of rage
Y-y-you’re breaking my balls here.. Johnny Cage
I hate this money game man I don’t hate the players
I’ll say Halo did it right when they did team slayer

[Hook : 1-UP]
Gimme 8 Bits (Gimme 16!)
Gimme 8 Bits (Gimme 16!)
The graphics of your game shouldn't offset all your story line
We need a coup d'état take back real games and make the story mine

Gimme 8 Bits (Gimme 16!)
Gimme 8 Bits (Gimme 16!)
I'm the best kid, I've been tested
I'm coming and dropping these lyrics on tracks you fools get Megaman X'ed kid

[Verse 3 : 1-UP]
Every time I write a song it’s just depends on how I’m feeling son
I morph my style so good you think I was a Chameleon
Mario he sends this crap up to where the heavens are
I’d call it more than just The Legend of the Seven Stars
Games getting gassed up so I need to give em Beano
No substance all dolled up like they Geno
Planet Mobius just throw me on it
First played when I was six and at the age of 26? I still love playing Sonic
Get fast with a dash of class
Causing chaos like these emeralds no 3D Blast
Take a breather to fill my heart up so I can make this last
You think that I was gonna forget a link to the past?
Indie developers go give us all that you have
And I will reach into my pockets and give you all of my cash
My video games please give them back their story lines
That was 1-UP’s attempt to go and make the story mine

[Outro]

Board : NO NO NO! You have it all wrong! We invest all of our time and money into making the game look pretty!

1-UP : Well you know what? I quit
