& THEN THE WORDS CAME
& WITH THE WORDS CAME PAIN & THE HURT FROM THE FIRST GRADE
BACK TO THE OLD DAYS
I WAS PLAYIN GAMES ALL ALONE FOR THE WHOLE DAY
TOGGLING Z-TARGET ON THE SWORDPLAY
IT MIGHT ROT YOUR WHOLE BRAIN
STARING INTO THAT BIG BRIGHT BOX AT CORD'S LENGTH
SPEND FOREVER TRYNA MAKE YOUR OWN WAY
JUST TO FIND AN 8-LEGGED SKULL HANGING IN THE DOORWAY
NO WAY!
THAT'S NOT ME
GRANDMA HAD A STRATEGY GUIDE FOR EVERY GAME SHE PASSED ONTO ME
I USED TO PLAY ON HER COMPLETED SAVE FILES
SPIN BOWSER BY THE TAIL UNTIL MY PALMS WOULD BLEED
SEE THOSE LITTLE CARTS OF DATA DID A LOT FOR ME
IN OCARINA OF TIME I WAS TAUGHT TO READ
NOW I COULD WRITE DOWN THE WORDS I WAS TOO SHY TO SPEAK
WHEN I WAS WIDE ASLEEP & I COULDNT FIND A DREAM
THEY NEVER LIED TO ME
EVERY PUZZLE YOU FOUND HAD A SOLUTION
AND YOU ALWAYS HAD THE TOOLS ON-HAND TO DO IT
EACH DUNGEON HAD A CONCLUSION
YOU SOLVED THEM FOR PROGRESS
A LIFE-LONG PROCESS
ONE MORE STEP TOWARD YOUR FINAL BOSSES
STANDING AT THE TOP OF THE SPIRAL STAIRS OF THE TOWER
YOU STARE AT THAT LAST DOOR & YOUR MIND JUST WANDERS
TAKE A LONG TIME TO PROCESS
LEVELS OF APPREHENSION THAT YOU CANT FIND OFTEN
A YOUNG FAT BOY WHO ACTS QUITE AWKWARD
A CRACKED VOICE WITH BAD CHOICES & POSTURE
SAD OFTEN
FEELIN LIKE I'M ONE BAD CLASS FROM THE COFFIN
AS THE TEACHER STANDS BACK FOR ANOTHER MEAN COMMENT
SHE JUST WATCHES
WHY DO I FEEL LIKE THE ONLY ONE WHO FEELS AWFUL?
I SPENT MOST OF MY LIFE JUST HOPING I'D FIND THE DAY I'D OUT-THINK MY MIND
I THINK I WASTED MY TIME
NOW I'M TERRIFIED OF THE SUDDEN SHIFT IN PARADIGMS
I'M SO SCARED TO DIE ALL ALONE
PLEASE TAKE ME HOME

I'M NOT A REAL RAPPER
I'M A STAND-UP COMEDIAN
IT SOUNDS UNBELIEVABLE
& YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT
MY JOKES ALL JUST HAPPEN TO RHYME BECAUSE I'M A GENIUS TOO
NO FOCUS WITHOUT THE PROPER DRUGS
I WROTE SOME SHORT STORIES
IM THE BAD GUY IN ALL OF EM

IM BUSY SEARCHIN FOR A BALANCE OF MY MENTAL HEALTH & TALENTS
THO NEITHER SCALE SEEMS TO HAVE A LOT
BATTLED OFF MY DEMONS FOR YEARS IN A FOREST CLEARING ON TOP OF A SNOWY MOUNTAIN TIL ALL THE WAX ON THE CANDLES RAN OFF
YOU SHOULD JOIN IF YOU CANT BEAT EM
SO I STOPPED PLAYIN AROUND & BECAME THE KING OF MY DEMONS
REST IN PEACE TO PHIFE DAWG
I CANT MAKE A SONG BETTER THAN A TRIBE SONG
SO INSTEAD I MADE SOME OF MY SONGS
GATHERED UP SOME DRUMS FROM THE VIDEO GAMES TO RHYME ON
LOW CHANCE FOR CONTACT
PEOPLE WANNA HIT ME UP BUT I DONT RESPOND BACK
I TOGGLED ON "DO NOT DISTURB" ON ALL OF MY CONTACTS
IM BUSY MAKING BEATS & PLAYING WRESTLING PODCASTS
THAT'S THE SOUND OF THE OBSERVERS
THE LAST POD ON THE LEFT
I MIGHT LEARN ME ABOUT A MURDER
I KINDA FEEL LIKE IM CURRENT OUT OF ORDER
FEELING THE HEATS FROM THE FIRES OF THE CRISES AROUND THE CORNER
BUT WHATEVER THO
LOYALTY'S FOR DOGS
I'M A CAT GUY
ALWAYS BEEN THAT SUPERVILLAIN BAD GUY
EVERY CREW OF MUSICIANS I'VE EVER MOVED WITH GOT TOTALLY LEFT IN RUINS
HUMILIATED & CHASTISED

BUT IM HERE
BACK IN THE GAME ON THAT SAME SAVE FILE
FROM A LONG LONG TIME AGO
EVEN IF NOBODY KNOWS
I'LL KEEP RECITING MY RHYMING POEMS IN MY MIND ALONE
I'LL STILL TURN THAT SCREEN ON & PUT THE LIGHTS LOW
I DONT GIVE A FUCK IF I GOT ONE LIFE TO GO

JOEY Z64 Saint Paul, Minnesota
JOEY Z MAKES CRETINOUS MUSIC FOR THE BRAVE
If you like JOEY Z64, you may also like:
supported by 8 fans who also own “JOEY Z64”
I love this whole album: It just captures a wide range of experiences and affects the listener with a wide range of emotions. I first liked this album because of the nerdcore elements, but I fell in love when I realized that these verses were true poetry, speaking to a deeper truth and beauty unlike most hip-hop I've heard. "A Poet" exemplifies this with its bittersweet message about how poetry is not valued. This is the first hip-hop tune I've ever shed a tear over. Take a bow, Mega Ran.

Castlevania: The Nocturnal Cantata
by Mega Ran and Sammus
supported by 5 fans who also own “JOEY Z64”
Everyone involved deserves high praise for this album. The production is crisp, man, and Random always goes hard! (Got "Richter" on repeat til I'm sick of it!)

Black Materia: Final Fantasy VII
by Mega Ran and Lost Perception
supported by 5 fans who also own “JOEY Z64”
This album came out of nowhere, and is as epic as the game. There's a grit and true understanding of how the game portrays itself in this music.
