Lyrics
-Verse 1-
I load the match, I’m feelin’ good,
Controller in hand, just like I should
But then it starts... a rubber-band slide,
And my dude teleportin’ like he’s tryna hide
Enemies peekin’ while I’m stuck in place,
Reloaded twice, but I still got erased
My shots don’t land, I cry inside,
I got that 999 ping—no place to hide
-Chorus-
Ping too high, can’t survive
Every match just eats my vibe
Tryna fight, but I can’t revive
Lag so bad, I meditate to stay alive
Island chill, but the server’s rude
Movin’ slow like I’m swimmin’ in food
Packet loss in the sky so wide—
Ping too high… can’t survive
-Verse 2-
I reset the router, prayed to the gods
Called my ISP—“please check the logs”
They said, “It’s fine,” but I know they lie
'Cause my ping chart look like a mountain high
Tried wired, Wi-Fi, VPN too
But I still lag when I’m peekin’ at you
Flashin’ red bars when I need green
I’m livin’ in a digital broken dream
-Bridge-
“Dem say it’s fiber… but it feel like dial-up, seen?”
“Mi just want smooth gameplay… not a slideshow, bredren.”
“Can’t even catch a revive, mi lost in the cloud…”
-Final Chorus-
Ping too high, can’t survive
My soul despawns every time I dive
Bullets freeze, then I arrive—
Back in the lobby, barely alive
Reggae beat, but my heart’s in bits
‘Cause I lag when I should do hits
One drop life, but the frames don’t jive—
Ping too high… can’t survive
-Outro-
“Can somebody… drop me a hotspot… or somethin’?”
“I’m stuck on the loot screen… again…”
