Текст JT Machinima – 10 Years

Текст:

10 years ago, two boys ventured into Halo 3 matchmaking
To start their journey
Making charming yet often cringy music videos
This is a trip down memory lane

For all of their homie G shizzle dawgs

It’s been 10 years and I still can’t wrap
My head around the fact that we still make raps
Take it back to ’08 with «The Greatest Ever»
This is the same track, we just made it better
Reminiscin’ the Machinima golden age
Red vs Blue showed us the road we’d take
Started with Halo 3, that led to CoD
This is JT Machinima’s history

Now lookin’ back on it, there’s a lotta nostalgia
First vid, Wizard Battle — Can we take that one down, bruh?
White Guys Can Rap, now we’re not so proud of
But in ’09 we signed a contract, made our first album
We never had a mission, but the vision was there
Soon as the viewers tuned in, felt like a privilege you cared
About the goofy music vids we made from our own rooms

First time on camera, making bold moves
Acting like we’re Halo pros back in the day
Who remembers the «noob»? That’s how I actually played
I’ll show you my shaft, while playing Minecraft
Then we had all the mobs rap — besides Ghast

Then came college and all the student bills
Getting book smart but still honing our skills
Back in ’11, I lost Skull — Couldn’t find him
I was in heaven, if heaven’s called Skyrim
We met an Australian, Andrea Storm Kaden

We put her in our raps, how much better she made them
First collab that we had was the Halo 4 rap
Now half our fans would rather that she have her own tracks

Took us five years to get one hundred K subs
Ooh, look a plaque — that’s something to hang up
Goodbye old logo, ain’t forgetting that
We got a new one, but Patfan got a tat
After FNAF came out, we had Five Long Nights
Now 70 million of you have joined us for a bite
Any new games coming? Scott, do not make ’em
That means more songs
That means I gotta play ’em

Overwatch just got in town
And it sounds like a game we ain’t ever putting down
We’ve made hero raps and battles with TF2
Plus we rock at the game

Not in competitive, dude

The first time Pat really started to rap
Was Soldier 76, he was a natural at that
I ordered costumes for us, what a good idea
I didn’t wanna wear it, I don’t mean to be a diva

We tried out Twitch, but that wasn’t our game
Thanks to all ten people who usually came
So we kept grinding out a music video a week
Never thought we’d hit a million but in 2017
You all helped the dream come true
Platonically speaking, we love you

Plus every friend we’ve made in the game music community
Inspiring each other to keep growing and improving
Started shooting more live action videos, too
Wouldn’t happen without having such a kickass crew
We met our friend River, he made-a-wish come true
Joined Rooster Teeth — wait, they made Red vs Blue

This channel began so we could keep in touch
It was all just for kicks, never seemed like much
We were just two kids with lots of games on our wish lists
Now we go an office and we run it like a business
This rap may sound like we’re bragging about
All the nerdy fun stuff that we do
This next line’s cheesy, but we wouldn’t be here
If it wasn’t for you

Thanks for lending your ears
For these past 10 years
Here’s to another 10
Let’s grab some beers
