Arin Checks the Mic Lyrics

[Danny]
Okay, the microphone is all set up
Arin, can you freestyle something off the top of your head so we can check the levels?

[Arin]
When I'm spending hours pushing keys
My ass needs a cushion, please
I don't wanna stop playin', I'm too busy demon slayin'!
I don't give a fuck, 'cause I'm in my prime, spittin' rhymes
While I climb the leaderboards after bedtime
My eyes are burnin' and I'm shiftin' and turnin'
'Cause I been sittin' in the same seat for nine hours, XP-earnin'
So don't call me or text me, 'cause this shit's complex
Please, leave the king alone so I can motherfuckin' get
These late-game weapons, great fame beckons
When I put a video up beatin' the last boss in 30 seconds, fuck!
I'm over here, tryin' but consistently dyin'
Days and days burned, my wife and friends are cryin'
Haven't seen me in weeks, 'cause it reeks
Showers optional, chair squeaks, underwear's got streaks
What am I doin'? Missin' the embrace of a human
All it takes is a phone call, and a friendship's bloomin'
I'm shackled by the grind, scientifically formulated to take up the most of my time
Sixteen hours is too short, that's a crime!
But that's the crushin' reality of this fuckin' paradigm

Anyway, I like Mega Man the best, out of all the games
[Danny]
Dude, that was awesome, can we use that rap for one of the songs on this album-
[Arin]
No!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

Arin appears to have a similar lyrical flow to Eminem’s 2018 freestyle, Kick Off. The similarities can be found in the heavy breathing, progressively louder/more aggressive rapping.
