Verse 1
Vinny Vinny Video
I woke up at noon on a summer day.
Watched cartoons while I stuffed my face.
Cleaned my room and I scrubbed some plates
Then I stepped to my mother with something to say.
I know it ain’t quite the end of the month.
But I need my allowance for the vidjas.
Look, if I walk down the block with a fist of bucks
They’ll put my initials in history books
I’ll trade that paper for a pocket of quarters.
Play that game ’til it’s conquered and over
Moms said ‘’fine” and she spotted me four.
I said, “one more?” got tossed out the door.
Okay. Four bucks. Sixteen turns.
More than enough to convince these nerds
I’m a warrior. Oh yeah. Pixel murderer.
Slow it up. Hold on. Victory’s earned one
Game at a time. Kinda thinkin’ Kong
But I changed my mind when I laid my eyes on a
Brand new machine with a crazy design.
Swear to god it had my name on the side.
First two run throughs rusty. Must need a Slushie.
Sugar rush! Now they can’t touch me.
**** me. That cost 50 cents.
Whatever I still got plenty left.
I’m in the zone. Danger. Twilight. Name it.
Heart rate rise while climb in the rankings.
Some get high on the lye or the jancum.
I just gotta be the king of the arcade.
Thumb slip at a crucial moment, lose a token.
Fifth place, fourth pace, movin’ forward.
Focus. guy in back heard gawkin.
“Never seen a joystick whacked so awesome!”
So I step to the boss with two lives left.
Last time here he chewed my head.
And I die on the spot like a noob i’m dead.
Got 25 cents to prove my cred.
Whole arcade comes ‘round to see me.
Beat this boss or bow in defeat.
I sink my shot while the crowd is screaming.
Top of the leaderboard now “VVV!”

Hook
I’m never gonna try again. I’m never gonna die again.
I think I got it this time. I promise.
I’m never gonna try again. I’m never gonna die again.
I think I got it. This time, I’m on it.
It’s a long way down to the next bonfire.
I’m tired. I’ve had enough.
Yup. Yo, if I stop right now I won’t hit my target.
I’m a fighter. I can’t give up. Get it Dunce.

Verse 2
Duncecap
I see you clippin’ through the wall, Mr. Bad guy.
I see you respawn fast when I pass by.
But it's been hours since I made it to a checkpoint.
This journey doesn't autosave and I'm a slave to getting boinked.
I’d be lying if I said it wasn't an ego thing.
I kept my console on for a whole week, I think.
It's been getting overheated like my temper is.
Kratos damn, I will get my vengeance in.
“Yo, Duncey, lemme give it a spin.”
But, don't beat it, Vin, or else I'll blow.
“All I do is win though!”
Take the knee, then, if you’re gettin’ close.
“Okay. I don’t just understand why you still playin’ when it gets you so mad.”
Well, victorys sublime after the 90 Deaths I've had.
And in three months my muscle memory is dumb.
I see you frustrated trying to get that perfect run.
I'll pick it up, and clear it like the wind do clouds.
Acting like a natural floating past what keeps you down.

Hook
I’m never gonna try again. I’m never gonna die again.
I think I got it this time. I promise.
I’m never gonna try again. I’m never gonna die again.
I think I got it. This time, I’m on it.
It’s a long way down to the next bonfire.
I’m tired. I’ve had enough.
Yup, but if I stop right now I won’t hit my target.
I’m a fighter. I can’t give up. Nuh. Nuh.
