It's our birthday, and we'll rap if we want to!

'Cause you know our rhymes are wack
Feel the beat--you can't go back
It's a free game rap attack
If you wanna win then take a crack

GOG.com, as you possibly know, has turned five. In celebration of us turning five, we like to have gifts for you--let's face it, if not for you, we wouldn't be here. So check out the video with our mad phat beatz yo, laid by MC Enigmatic and the famous DJ Russkat, and then if you're inspired, feel free to drop us lyrics of your own! We'll collect all of the best lyrics and award up to four people 5 GOG.com games of their choice in exchange for their permission to use their lyrics in a proper GOG Birthday Rap video. We may even spring for proper moving pictures for the next one!

So get up and grab your mouse

Yo, gotta let off Steam
Man that's all so has-been

Yo, wazzup mate
Gonna meat you at Baldur's Gate
No time to relax or rest
Lemme tellya, I'm a King on a Quest


CHORUS:
If you're playing gamez, mister
Don't fool around with that sister
No kissy lips or big bust
To game on, that is the only must


Yo, check this out
Man either fall out or Fallout
Spellin this out to you real brief
I'm da gangsta, I'm da Thief

Yo, listen up now, dig it
Gamez be freed, byte after bit
It's Ultima-tum, you are the power
Don't let the bad peeps devour

Yo, wazzup mate
It's gone far, yet not too late
(Yo MC Gamer says)
Man, do it now, all week
It's grand to be a gamer geek


CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
Yay GOG is 5! Rock on man!

Here's my inspired rap:



Welcome to GOG
We've got some games for free
With extra goodies
And also drm free

We've got your classics
Take a look at the catalog
Massive sales and discounts
For additional backlog

From your favorite RPG
To the best indie
You know you'll get nostalgic
With so many classics

You know what you get
But you'll never expect
When we develop the next
Epic wallet threat

Every game over here is drm free
The price's the same for wherever you live
A gamer's paradise as you have never seen
Don't miss this out even if it's too good to believe
Hey it's G-O-G's, happy 5th birthday.
Coming 'round the corner is a rap for y'all to all say.

This year's been a blast,
launching games new and past.
Six hundred nine to the date
still hundreds more be comin' WAIT!

Let's get back on track,
this be GOG's (gawg's) birthday rap.
Celebratin' to the beat,
everybody move yo' feet.

Step to left fo' the indies;
and step to the right fo' the classics.
Now jump up an' down fo' the DRM-FREE'ness
you can back all yo' games, and even on the flop' disk.

Whatchu you waitin' for?
ev'ry one welcome at the door!
We 'ccept Steve Jobs' Mac,
Not just PC, that'd be wack.

Games ain't no expenditure
The sales be regular.
GOG (gawg) wants to have a good time, not fill they registers.

This is MC Enigmatic, and DJ Russkat,
hope you had fun breakin' rhymes; cause they were PHAT.
Happy 5th birthday GOG (gawg), here's to you,
Here's to hoping next year, our crew's. . . times twenty-two. . . (x22 in population, haha)

Any style that you want any genre you can think,
Just a little bit of dosh and you got a time sink.
Don't worry about registering, it's DRM-Free,
GOG's the past of gaming! (And the future - you'll see!)

There's always a choice with a sale every week, (almost)
Doesn't matter if you're casual or a hardcore geek.
The community is great, they'll always chime in,
With reviews and recommendations (gasp) it's always a win.

If you prefer fantasy or something that's more gritty,
Explore the worlds of Ultima or the streets of Union City.
If you're strapped for cash GOG hasn't forgotten you,
Some games are cheap and there's free games too.

GOG
It stands for "Good Old Games",
The fun you will have will blow your brains.
Adventuring, platforming, racing around,
Infinite fun, under forty pound.

It's your birthday GOG, you're turning five,
You've done so much, we hope you stay alive.


-good lord what have I done.
Wait, why aren't you guys accepting them on twitter? https://twitter.com/Kylmaaho/status/378670583178743809

This one is for Trevor:

System Shock, oh where art thou.
Not on GOG.com right now.
Try again later.
I've posted the lyrics before, but then someone went ahead and delivered the beat, so I thought it'd be fun to try and record myself with crappy microphone I got for 1.5 EUR at the counter of a deli shop. I thought I could slow down the beat. I thought I could somehow remove the noise from the background. I thought I'd try rapping. I thought it would be fine, even though I don't really know what rap is & have never attempted anything remotely like this. I thought...

I thought wrong.

I'M SORRY. I'M SO SO SORRY. T_T

LYRICS:
Is it true, can it be?
Only 5 years since we got G-O-G;
Digital ninjas (!)
who dare stand for D-R-M free.

Takin' names, kickin' ass,
bringin' games, lots of class,
supporting quality
through quality support!

Evolving constantly
on top of strong foundations,
searching for new ways
to strenghten our relations.

So as I sit here typing
it's no revelation,
there's no doubt, no "maybe",
our king is G-O-G -
hail to the king, baby!

Screwed up from work
its friday night
my mouse and keyboard

cause i just wanna play

looking at my monitor
through cigarette's fog
playing all my games
from ma' fellows at GOG

CHORUS:
hardcore gamers
jump in and play
lets meet up at GOG
and celebrate their
birthday

now my ass is hurting
and my eyes
turned to squares
i need more beer, jumping up from the chair

its early in tha mornin
as i meet up my wife
because I'm looking like a zombie
she's throwing a knife

quick leaving the flat
to safe my life
got my war online
and now in real with my wife

running down the street
in morning rain
just thinking about gaming
again and again

repeat CHORUS
uh, uh, g o g entertainment
get reafy, cause its da 5th one

happy birthday to my good old games
another year gone by , selling goods old fashion games
without any thoughts , without any shame
g o g prices so great, you"ll go insane

GoG Love

A rap lyric by me:

A-yo, Check it...
I be the most retro mc to hit the streets...
Just on GoG I must have busted my wallet
Faster than you can say;
Oh my god, he's got the dope-ass beats
In 1 nano-second, I tell you all this is my method
While everyone says he's 'leet
You know GoG's the coolest game provider
Your wallet it WILL wreck it
These games on G-O to the Gee
Got me so mental, it's detrimental
Damn it GoG, got so many games to play now
It is impossible for me to sleep
So I stay wide awake, feeling like I got the shakes
I'm going retro-commando now, in the GoG jungle deep
So I just say now

How the bloody hell will I get some sleep...
How the bloody hell will I get some sleep...
How the bloody hell will I get some sleep...
Playing so hard now...
Just don't ask how...

Ask my wife what the F I did to my Visa on G-o-Gee
All you'd hear is:
"What the f... (bleep) you f...(bleep) (bleep)
What will we eat now; DRM-FREE Games for lunch?
That was our last three hundred dollars....
I'm outta here!"
So I started to holler:
"Don't get your panties in a bunch!"
We can still eat
My Witcher 1 and 2 Cds
For Dinner
GoG gave me free DRM-FREE cop-ies
Just for my serial keys
See, everyone comes out a winner!

She said: "You gotta be kidding me..."
I said: "Um...no... they'd be great with some bread..."
She said: "I'm gone... now and forever....
Whenever you get horny now....
You'd best ask FREAKING GOG TO GIVE YOU HEAD..."

Intro

(spoken) You think this is a game? I repeat, YOU THINK THIS IS A GAME?! Why, yes, it is... DRM-freeeeee!

-----

I came upon this site after much hesitation
It came highly recommended by the GOG nation
With a promise of games from a long lost past
When I want something old, GOG's got my back

No more patches, no more fixes, they are ready to play
Just turn on your computer and relive the old days
No more packets of diskettes, don't insert your CD
All you need is in your shelf, it's time to break free

Chorus

Good old games, it's the life that I seek
I want old, don't want new, now you listen to me
Good old games, it's the life that I seek
You can download, you can play them, in your Mac or PC

Good old games, it's the life that I seek
I can play them while I'm waiting for The Witcher 3
Good old games, it's the life that I seek
And my life is DRM-free...

-----

I'm searching for the old days in digital form
The classics I remember and a few that I don't
Five years in the making, over 500 games
GOG brings the nostalgia, all you need is to pay

Classic Monday, Indie Wednesday, it's a party every day
New games Tuesday and Thursday, makes a wallet cry in pain
Don't forget the Weekend Promo, brings the family together
Forget the barbecue, it's GOG weather

Chorus

Good old games, it's the life that I seek
I want old, don't want new, now you listen to me
Good old games, it's the life that I seek
You can download, you can play them, in your Mac or PC

Good old games, it's the life that I seek
I can play them while I'm waiting for The Witcher 3
Good old games, it's the life that I seek

And my life is DRM-free...

It's GOG yo, GOG,
Selling many-a publisher's catalog.
From Square Enix to Ubisoft,
The sales come oft.

GOG, I tells ya, GOG,
Their logo is is green like the skin of a frog.
Five games for eighty percent off?
It's enough to make any gamer froth!

This one time though, GOG got real loose,
Made it's users feel like a goose.
Site site closed down,
We all did frown,
But it came back,
And as usual the deals were whack!

GOG yo, GOG,
Tell your friends, write a blog,
Birthdays are only once a year!
So have a cheer!
WHO'S GONNA MANAGE YOUR RIGHTS?

Don't you even try
To cross this line
Sacrifice is my wine
My Torment is mine

I need my Freespace
I'm the Knight of my Grace
Overlord of my Syndicate
So don't you Twist my Fate

I may be an Outcast
But I'm gonna outlast
The Fallout from my past
So get the f*ck off me fast

Don't you manage my life! (Don't you manage my rights!)
We're not man and wife! (Don't you f*ck up my light!)
Don't you manage my life! (Don't you manage my rights!)
This is the heart of my strife! (This is the reason I fight!)

"Thief!" is what they say
"Pirates!" they claim
But they won't let me play
Not even when I pay!

Capitalism runs amok
Call of Duty is for the flock
Get your brothers from the blocks
What we need is a System Shock

We're Alone in the Dark
Going Postal in the park
Like Caesar in his horse
Crusaders with No Remorse

Don't let'em manage your rights!
To the street with Torch lights!
Who's gonna manage your rights?
This ought to be your fight!
(x2)
