(Intro)
(Retro synths and vinyl crackle drop solid beat kicks in)
Check one two…
Rules I write my own
Retro player in the house
(Verse 1)
Thrift shop jacket laced with brand-new kicks
Cassette in my walkman remixing season's ticks
Don't chase the wave I am the landmark
Gen Z body with a vintage soul spark
Crossing the street like a vinyl groove
Yes I'm that cool a natural artifact
Haters' comments All left on read
My world's a film that I alone edit
(Pre-Chorus)
Don't guess my next page
The script unfolds as I engage
Cuz I'm a retro player with a digital soul
Analog warmth meets a digital edge
The perfect combo under my control
Spotlights blind give me alleyway glow
Casting my silhouette steal the whole show
(Chorus)
Retro player that's my brand (My brand)
Don't need a pass for the way I stand
Funky bassline pumps in my chest yo (In my chest)
My heartbeat's rhythm puts me to the test
Deconstruct the past reassemble what's next
This is how I play the street's my lab complex
On repeat this truth 'til you're obsessed
Can you dig it I'm the one and only
(Verse 2)
Sample the doubt for a scratch in the track
Turn life's static to a booming drop yes that's the knack
A sweet defiance packs the hardest punch
Like a soda cap fizz with a powerful crunch
Walk my walk through every twist and turn
My path's my statement a lesson you'll learn
Me and my sisters share the courage code
Squad's frequency unlocks a brand-new mode
(Pre-Chorus)
Don't guess my next page
The script unfolds as I engage
Cuz I'm a retro player with a digital soul
Analog warmth meets a digital edge
The perfect combo under my control
Spotlights blind give me alleyway glow
Casting my silhouette steal the whole show
(Chorus)
Retro player that's my brand (My brand)
Don't need a pass for the way I stand
Funky bassline pumps in my chest yo (In my chest)
My heartbeat's rhythm puts me to the test
Deconstruct the past reassemble what's next
This is how I play the street's my lab complex
On repeat this truth 'til you're obsessed
Can you dig it I'm the one and only
(Bridge)
(Music strips down to retro game chip sounds)
When the world glitches in a loop so predictable
I mod the game make the system bendable
Don't need a crown I got my own light
Earned in every fearless standalone fight
From the prologue to a page unknown
Where the ink is wet a new legend's sown
This is my era I name the scene
Between old and new I reign supreme
(Outro)
Player…(Voice fades with a confident smile)
(Music fades ending with the distinct click of a cassette tape being seated )
