[Verse 1: Random]
From sitting on the floor gaming to dropping
Some of the highest scores the world had ever seen
To dropping some of the craziest verses rap had ever heard
From Woodstock a good block since 82
They know me well
Though they don't do what they say they do
My only hell is not being called the crazy dude
Oh naw
For all the cats to work a 9 to 5, But still
Be standing in line at midnight Oh that's real
Want to be the first to master it, gameFAQs in it
Haters call you addicts but, I just know you pa**ionate
So I Made a song for y'all cats
Haters can fall back
Gaming since the 80's wish that I could bring 'em all back
[Chorus]
This is for the gamers
(Though) getting up for work is a struggle
Playing all night till you come down with carpal tunnel
This for the gamers
Who forsake meals and sleep
To beat a game they only had a week, so peep
This for the gamers
Play a game and beat it, but won't stop till they unlock all the achievements believe it
This for the gamers
Warcraft to Madden; up and let me at 'em
All I gotta do is find a pattern
[Verse 2: Int 80]
This the for gamers, experts, noobs and the griefers (okay)
Protection defeaters, all us hackers and cheaters
I've got bad habits, lots of tools in my backpack
Distributing AIM bots and seeding out a map pack
Up for a fair game if you got the sk**s (unh)
But I like to give the playing field a little bit of tilt
Cause winning's an addiction; I like to feel the thrill
So step up if you want, though I'll crush you when you will
You on point, Ran? (all the time, Int)
Well I got your back, supplies are packed
Consider me your sidekick
Victory is flawless, no one's gonna stop us (uh huh)
Strong through the gauntlet
No need for being cautious (nope)
Arcade to console to PC I'll join
It's offense and D, both sides of the coin
Another round or not, I should really save my voice
Press start or call it quits, time to make a choice
[Verse 3: Schäffer the Darklord]
I got them nervous tics and twitching
With them bloodshot eyes, not
Much of a surprise, got to bed at five and I'm shot
By nine I'm in trouble, struggling just to adjust
I'm seeing stuff I don't trust, but soldier through it I must
X's and circles and squares float in the air and they glow so intense
And I'm so intent on getting through this quick time event
Ammo and health items are everywhere, and I swear
That I can climb that wall right over there like I am Altair
PMCs are sweeping, but I find my way by ‘em
Trying to grapple gargoyles like I'm in Arkham Asylum
Spying Black Mesa gunships hover in the sky and
I am shopping, every merchant asks “What are you buyin'?”
I use the orbs I am paid and I upgrade to a new gun
Shoot and jump through an orange portal, step out through a blue one
Now maybe I am dreaming, maybe I have gone insane
Or maybe, just maybe I've been playing too many games
[Chorus]
Super Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Forever, Forever, Forever, Forever
Super Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Forever, Forever, Forever, Forever
Super Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Forever, Forever, Forever, Forever
Super Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Forever, Forever-ever, Forever-ever
[Chorus]
Yeah we goin' to the moon
(t minus 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1, ignition, liftoff)

But there's a million people that might feel different
The gamers
