Renegade Rap from Nostalgesia by Paul Wilcock

Finish playing my atari then I’m driving my ferrari
Top down, shades on its like I’m playing outrun
For real
I’m on my way to a drug deal
I’ve got two keys of coke in the trunk
In the glovebox is a pound of junk
I get a good price from the local gangs
They know I’m street tough and want me to hang
But I’m a renegade, a loose cannon
I’d only join a gang if it was led by michael jackson
Like his videos for beat it or bad
We’d dance round the car parks screamin
Hooooo!
Like a thundercat but I don’t think I’ll ever find a gang like that
It’s a shame because it looks like a laugh
I want to be a bad dude with a baseball bat
Fighting ninjas and hookers who always carry whips
Rescuing my girlfriend using punches and kicks
I guess I’ll settle for Sega, ryu vs vega
Or robocop vs terminator
But back to the drug deal that’s going down
I’ve got 30 seconds to drive across town
No wait that’s outrun again
I need to get my head out of the video games

Sometimes I feel like pacman trapped in a maze
Taking lots of pills that put me in a daze
And I’m running from ghosts, ghosts from the past
Power pills stop them but it never lasts

I pull up at the mansion owned by Mr Big
I grab the bag of drugs and head into his crib
There are b boys spinning on the floor
Doing windmills on a sheet of cardboard
I walk right by them into the back room
where Mr Big is waiting with a couple of goons
Two minutes later and its fallen apart
If I want to stay alive its best if I depart
But the goons step up getting right in my face
I’m gonna have to fight to leave this place
I decide to throw a fireball Hadoukan
But it doesn’t work so instead I throw a shurikan
Well that’s one down and 20 to go
So I pick up my drugs and I’m out the door
Now I’m involved in a high speed chase
Running red lights and the cops are on the case
I use my wrist radio and call Devon
He tells me where his truck is so now I’ve got a plan
I’m a two armed bandit with smokey on my tail
I press the button for an oil slick, but it fails
I see Devons truck with the back ramps down
I drive into the trailer and stop and look around
I never saw this happen to knightrider
The trailer's full of boxes where's devon hiding
I try to use my wrist radio to call him
But its stopped working and the cops are hauling
Me
Out into the street
I try to load a saved game or enter a cheat
Left left right right up up down
The cops are all laughing at me jumping around
They think I’m on drugs and they’re right
I pull my headband tighter and pull out my knife
I feel like rambo fighting for my life
To win war
You’ve got to become war
So that’s what I do
I’m like a nuclear bomb boom and then its through
Game over
I’m hit with a nightstick
Out like a light
