D. Bane - Get Up and Play Lyrics

7/16 of '65
Wiliam James Mitchell Jr. hit the world up for a ride
Now pinball wizard billy knew he'd be a star
Didn't like video games but didn't know he'd take em far
Seeing attention at that Donkey Kong cabinet
Made him realize that's what he wanted, man he had to have it
So he's
Grabbing up quarters, droping em in to hit the scores
Now amassing the attention and he keeps on pushing towards
Perfection
No stressing
Young Billy got it good when he steps in
Doing everything he could, leaving lessons
On how to play the games that be invests in
Blessing these cabinets like he's Jesus in a flag tie
You can see that he means business, you don't have to ask why

So keep playing, don't you ever let them doubt you
Building up these callouses they know that you're about to
Run it up, reaching for that high score
Make em see, you're the man, they don't need to try more

So hit up the joy stick
Drop in coin and take it away
You know you've got what it takes, don't you?
Yes you've got what it takes, won't you get up and play?

Kill Screen, Split screen, yeah he knows about it
He's on a Topps card, please, you can go and doubt it
A living legend but they wanna take his gold
He's got decades in this work, a legacy to uphold
Gamer of the century at TGS in '99
$100,000 on the table knowing they won't cross his line
The man defines perfection in these classic games
With the skill and dedication you know Billy came to play
From DK to Centipede
Burger Time and Pac-Man
You see the points he's racking?
Yes he is that man
Forget the doubters, if you see him go and run up
Meet the man and shake his hand and hit em with the thumbs up

So keep playing, don't you ever let them doubt you
Building up these callouses they know that you're about to
Run it up, reaching for that high score
Make em see, you're the man, they don't need to try more

So hit up the joy stick
Drop in coin and take it away
You know you've got what it takes, don't you?
Yes you've got what it takes, won't you get up and play?
