Memory Card Legends

Boot screen flash

Green glow, black fade

Load bar creeping

(We back, ay)

Plastic shell, sticker peeled at the corner

Four ports deep, whole squad in the foyer

Dust in the tray, still prayin’ it starts

Fan hum loud like it’s playin’ my part

Profile name in all caps on the menu

Thumb on A, like “yeah, they gon’ send you”

Split-screen beef, whole couch in a war

Trash talk echo through a cracked dorm door

I’m a memory card legend

Save file still in the slot

Old school dreams on a hundred-foot cable

I ain’t ever loggin’ off

Yeah, a memory card legend

Green ring glowin’ on top

If you know that startup screen in your heartbeat

You know we never gon’ stop (never gon’ stop)

Late night lag, mama yellin’ “go sleep”

Eyes wide, locked in, I just need one sweep

Cheat code scribbled on a fast-food napkin

Pause game quick when the hallway tappin’

Friends drop in, handle passed like a crown

Who got next, who gon’ hold this down

One more run turned to five, then ten

Sunlight creepin’ on the same old friends

I’m a memory card legend

Save file still in the slot

Old school dreams on a hundred-foot cable

I ain’t ever loggin’ off

Yeah, a memory card legend

Green ring glowin’ on top

If you hear that startup tone in your soul, then

You know we never gon’ stop (never gon’ stop)
