[Verse 1]
Split-screen glare in the basement dark
We pick our fate from a frozen cast
You spawn Oddjob
I call you a cheat
Golden gun glows
Match ends too fast
Paintball mode
But the hits still sting
Remote mines stacked on the armor spawn
That pixel cradle
That snowfield sprint
Every cheap shot lives on and on
[Chorus]
GoldenEye
My childhood battleground
Where every friendship
Almost hit the ground
GoldenEye
Four screens
One old TV
I lost the game
But you’re still stuck in there with me
[Verse 2]
Slappers only
We talk big trash
Cameras watch from the hallway walls
Steel doors slam
Radar gives you away
You panic-roll through those blocky halls
No odd job picks
That was blood-sworn law
Still you camped by the body armor
Neon cheat codes scribbled on the case
Turned every kid into a cold-eyed sharpshooter
[Chorus]
GoldenEye
My childhood battleground
Where every friendship
Almost hit the ground
GoldenEye
Four screens
One old TV
I lost the game
But you’re still stuck in there with me
[Bridge]
[Breakdown: guitars drop to chugging half-time
Drums slam tom-heavy]
No saves
Just lives to burn
No pause
Just rage and learn
Those maps
Still carved in my brain
Power on
And I’m right back in the game (hey!)
[Chorus]
GoldenEye
My childhood battleground
Where every friendship
Almost hit the ground
GoldenEye
Four screens
One old TV
I lost the game
But you’re still stuck in there with me
(still stuck in there with me)
