[Hook] I remember the days, when life was simple Back when video games, were so essential Leaving reality to a place with no parentals Keepin' peace in the galaxy, battling men who were sinful Take me back To the days when I was younger So engaged I couldn't slumber, cuz all the games I discovered Take me back, to stayin' up late with my brothers Throwin' grenades at each other, way too brave to dive for cover Take me back [Verse 1] Take me back to the days when life was simple Back when video games were so essential When the only worry was my time limit on the Nintendo I would play it then couldn't save it, wake up and do it again bro, uh So frustrated, it s**ed waitin', I'm complainin' How could my father turn this off when I'm not done savin'? I wasn't patient, my thumbs were shakin', I loved gamin' I was so bothered I had to stop all this gun blazin' Fast forward a bit to that Sega Genesis My father beat my bro and me so bad it was ridiculous But then we got better, and dad he got fed up Ironically once he started losin' he just wasn't into this, uh See, I'm meticulous, I remember that Christmas We opened up that PS1 and went ballistic We played more than those who train for the olympics All those great scores were made for those days more simplistic [Hook] I remember the days, when life was simple Back when video games, were so essential Leaving reality to a place with no parentals Keepin' peace in the galaxy, battling men who were sinful Take me back To the days when I was younger So engaged I couldn't slumber, cuz all the games I discovered Take me back, to stayin' up late with my brothers Throwin' grenades at each other, way too brave to dive for cover Take me back [Verse 2] Take me back to the PS2, the first days, that I played Baulder's Gate Dark Alliance when it was new Eyes glued, to the tube. Up before school to play it Time flew, it was true. When roamin' the city and slayin' Any enemy in between victory it was so fun Can't believe that I still play a game that was made in 01 I'm a nerd I know it, and I wrote this song to show it I'm not ashamed to admit, I love virtual heroics Let's fast forward a bit to those LAN parties Those Xbox, with a red dot, get a head-shot man parties, yeah The first one I attended I was 14 We played Halo 2 until 4 in the morning We had 4 systems, 4 teams, each on a separate TV It sort of ticked me off, cuz I could not cheat and peak at their screens It was shortly after that I made a tough decision Halo won me over, so my friendship with PlayStation ended /= [Hook] I remember the days, when life was simple Back when video games, were so essential Leaving reality to a place with no parentals Keepin' peace in the galaxy, battling men who were sinful Take me back To the days when I was younger So engaged I couldn't slumber, cuz all the games I discovered Take me back, to stayin' up late with my brothers Throwin' grenades at each other, way too brave to dive for cover Take me back [Verse 3] Take me back to when I got that 360 For Christmas it was splendid I hooked it up to the TV quickly/ I put in Halo 3 and connected to Live All those LAN parties pretty much stopped 'cause now we could play online A year later I got Call of Duty 4 And put Halo on the back burner for that Modern War, yeah That was a game-changer, pun intended I got my 10th prestige, so men could see that I was committed Fast forward to Halo 3: ODST I was in line with friends at Gamestop for the midnight release We took it home and played 'til 8am without any sleep But we accomplished our mission, the whole campaign was beat Yeah, those are the days, that I really miss Today I have an xbox one, yet rarely play on it Because I'm married and have a baby, don't really have much time But I am thankful for those memories locked inside my mind [Hook] I remember the days, when life was simple Back when video games, were so essential Leaving reality to a place with no parentals Keepin' peace in the galaxy, battling men who were sinful Take me back To the days when I was younger So engaged I couldn't slumber, cuz all the games I discovered Take me back, to stayin' up late with my brothers Throwin' grenades at each other, way too brave to dive for cover Take me back
