[Intro]
Yeah
It’s Luigi
Heh
You messed up, bro
[Verse 1]
Found my brother on the floor, red cap sideways
Mushrooms in his system, saw stars, not highways
Eyes rolling like the wheels on the kart tracks
Paramedics in the crib, flashing on the walls, facts
He was chasin’ power, not the flag on the pole
Kept tellin’ him “slow,” he was losin’ control
Now they wheeled him down the hall, wires on his chest
Doc said “pray, kid, we gon’ try our best”
Peach callin’ on the line, “where he at? we need him”
I just stared at the screen, heard the beeps, couldn’t leave him
Whole kingdom in a panic, chaos in the castle
Guess the “second player” gotta carry all the hassle
[Chorus]
Luigi’s turn now, I’ma run this level
Green hat on while I fight this devil
If my bro falls down, I’ma climb that tower
Got a princess to protect, I’ma take that power
Luigi’s turn now, I’ma break these chains
Heart full of fear but I play through pain
If the world need hope, I’ma be that light
Put an L on my cap but I still gon’ fight
[Verse 2]
Dark clouds creepin’ in, pipes all toxic
Monsters in the bricks, every step feel caustic
Bowser on the throne, breath hot, talk slick
“You alone now, kid, better fold real quick”
But I remember all the nights that he carried my side
When I slipped off the edge, he would call it a ride
“Respawn, lil’ bro, you gon’ get it next time”
Now it’s me on the front line, climb after climb
So I dash through the fire, suit scorched, hands shakin’
Hear Peach in the chains, every scream ground-breakin’
I ain’t built like a legend, I was built like a friend
But a friend is the one that will ride to the end
[Chorus]
Luigi’s turn now, I’ma run this level
Green hat on while I fight this devil
If my bro falls down, I’ma climb that tower
Got a princess to protect, I’ma take that power
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Doctor, keep him breathin’, I’ma keep on runnin’
If he wakes up, tell him that his lil’ bro done it
[whispered vocals] “Game over” ain’t the way that we go
We just pass that controller, let the love still flow
[crescendo]
So I kick in the gate, see the fear in his eyes
Big turtle lookin’ shook, like he met his surprise
“You ain’t face me before, you just knew my name”
Now the one in the green bout to flip this game
[Chorus]
