Story

Always loved Warren G’s Regulate, so wanted to make something along those G-funk lines. It is hard making rap parts interesting enough for a longer, smooth track like this. Could have spent some more time on that, but in the end I’d sunk a lot of hours into this and wanted to finish up before I got bored with it.

I hope it brings a smile to at least a couple of faces. 🙂

Lyrics

Cybernoids
We regulate any plundering of the federations cargo
We're damn good too
But you can't be any geek off the milky way
You've gotta be handy with the laser beam, if you know what I mean
Earn your keep

It was a clear black night, a clear white moon
Cybernoid is on the prowl, gotta make the pirates swoon
Grippin' the controls, as I move through space
Federation's on my back, they need that cargo safe

Pirates out there, raiding our stores
I’m dodging their defenses, bustin' down their doors
Dropped in my ship, armed to the teeth
Bounce bombs, mines, and that Cyber Mace heat

I’m in the zone, the fight is on
Can’t let these pirates get the best of my spawn
Impact mines, they won’t last long
'Cause I’m rollin' with the shield, I’m invincible

Gonna upgrade my ship, I don’t give up,
Taking back that loot, I’ll never stop
Gonna take ‘em down hard, I’ll seal their fate
Cybernoid had to regulate

Now the seeker’s locked, on a pirate’s tail
Ain’t no place to hide, their defense is frail
Grabbing all the jewels, snatchin’ every stone
Federation wants it back, and I’ll bringin' it home

Time is tickin', but I’m steady and cool
One wrong move, and I’ll look a fool
But I’m quick, yeah I’m slick
Clearing every screen, using my joystick

Every move I make, I’m collecting that stash
Gems and minerals, stacking up cash
But it ain’t about the money, it’s the pride I take
In turning my ship from average to great

Yellow canister drop, my arsenal’s hot
More power in my hands, every pirate’s getting caught
Take ‘em down hard, sealing their fate
Cybernoid had to regulate

Flying through the stars, pirates in my sight
They think they have the edge, but I’m prepped to fight
Switch to bombs, drop 'em on their base
Watch ‘em run, as I step up my pace

No time to waste, the clock’s tickin’ fast
But I’ve come this far, I’m built to last
I’ll take ‘em down hard, seal their fate
When Cybernoid has to regulate

Another amazing mashup or in the style of remix from Makke! As usual, the style and the arrangement is spot-on, and the lyrics is just 👌. I do not know how much time Makke spends on getting the lyrics just right, but not only it pays homage to the original Warren G track, it also ties to the backstory of the C64 game. I am just floored… And then Makke also brings it home with his perfect vocal delivery. Massive respects to a massive talent!
