03 - Back in the Day
[00:28.83] NES at the Shack is how I first got down
[00:31.24] Pops got a job, moved the fam' to Sea-town
[00:33.60] Checking BBS's for my 'warez and porn
[00:35.89] Around this time the mafia was born
[00:38.37] Spending mad hours getting buff in Lord
[00:40.79] Get with the tavern ho, show off my long sword
[00:43.17] Couple years later, hit the Hotline scene
[00:45.59] Waiting in queue is where I've never been seen
[00:48.00] Got hooked up with fat accounts
[00:50.43] Get my shit fast and in large amounts
[00:52.74] Use my Cyrix chip to cook my meals
[00:55.19] Laugh all you want, I'll own yo' ass at Whacky Wheels
[00:57.61] Got my emulators and a couple thousand ROMs
[00:59.99] And all the F-Kiss from blah blah dot com
[01:02.38] Now we got torrents with bandwidth to our necks
[01:04.82] Looking back's crazy, but I wonder what's next
[01:07.17] Back in the day, Shufflepuck Cafe
[01:09.30] Banner ads, getting paid, ICQ, getting laid
[01:11.94] Back in the day, we knew Sulu was gay
[01:14.03] Munching numbers, running lodes, monochrome displays
[01:16.70] Back in the day, Shufflepuck Cafe
[01:18.92] Banner ads, getting paid, ICQ, getting laid
[01:21.60] Back in the day, we knew Sulu was gay
[01:23.63] Munching numbers, running lodes, monochrome displays
[01:26.43] Back in the day, System 7.5
[01:28.42] Had HyperCard stacks on my SyQuest drive
[01:31.00] Once I got a modem I was never fucking bored
[01:33.33] Always dialing up a BBS to play me some LORD
[01:35.67] I stole my school's dial-up to get the internet
[01:38.08] Had a copy of Ircle and no regrets
[01:40.78] Chilling in #macfilez, leeching on bots
[01:43.05] It took nine years to get a download spot
[01:45.49] Hours and hours, making Marathon maps
[01:47.82] Always on the run, 'cause I set it to caps
[01:50.25] Eventually I got a brand new Power Mac
[01:52.53] So fucking fast, I almost had a heart attack
[01:55.09] Ran a Hotline server on my school's T1
[01:57.40] "Win Ben Stein's Warez" was the name of that one
[01:59.88] Quake 3 Test in the computer lab
[02:02.02] Never went to class 'cause that shit was a drag
[02:04.73] Back in the day, Shufflepuck Cafe
[02:06.88] Banner ads, getting paid, ICQ, getting laid
[02:09.57] Back in the day, we knew Sulu was gay
[02:11.72] Munching numbers, running lodes, monochrome displays
[02:14.23] Back in the day, Shufflepuck Cafe

[02:21.31] Munching numbers, running lodes, monochrome displays
[02:24.01] Back in the day, cruising through the DOS prompt
[02:26.37] A little modem action I got anything I want
[02:28.77] Blake Stone or some Duke 3D
[02:31.23] IPX LAN, don't fuck with me
[02:33.55] Back in the day, four buttons man
[02:36.02] Gravis GamePad 'til we lost our tan
[02:38.32] ZZT, where I made my first game
[02:40.81] Shit was mad hot 'til Click-n-Play came
[02:43.12] Up in the attic, it's Jumpin' Flash
[02:45.44] All day long 'til a PlayStation crash
[02:47.95] Pirated Thrill Kill, what a waste of time
[02:50.30] Now I get why they trashed that crime
[02:52.81] Got nerd history, stories for days
[02:55.21] Spit it how I lived it 'til this shit pays
[02:57.51] So back up off if you question the cred
[03:00.00] OG nerds, we'll cut off your head
[03:02.03] Yo, back in the day, shit was the best
[03:04.41] I pirated Duke Nukem off a BBS
[03:07.14] A pimp with a 486 dx, deuce
[03:09.58] Double piped to increase my juice
[03:11.82] Halloween Harry and Commander Keen
[03:14.02] Nowadays, it seems like a wonderful dream
[03:16.48] Up in school, I'm on the LC 2s
[03:18.89] Used the backdoor to drop right out of Foolproof
[03:21.34] Then one day, there was the internet
[03:23.56] And anything I wanted, I could easily get
[03:26.23] Anytime I wanted A-double-P-Z
[03:28.47] Just connect to H-O-T-L-I-N-E
[03:31.19] Click the banner, fourth word, seventh line
[03:33.49] Log in, and anything I wanted was mine
[03:35.62] I started up a server called "Industrial Strength,"
[03:38.00] And got sued by the R-I-double-A
[03:40.41] But I was born, into a new world of computers
[03:42.98] And we became a generation of looters
[03:45.32] But I said it before, and I'll say it again
[03:47.62] It's like being high just remembering
[03:50.38] Back in the day, Shufflepuck Cafe
[03:52.49] Banner ads, getting paid, ICQ, getting laid

[04:09.59] Back in the day, (back in the day) Shufflepuck Cafe
[04:11.74] Banner ads, getting paid, ICQ, getting laid
[04:14.37] Back in the day, we knew Sulu was gay
[04:16.52] Munching numbers, running lodes, monochrome displays
