The Roots Tariq's Mario Rap lyrics

Shigeru, Miyamoto, hero you can call me those
From where my inspiration comes nobody knows
But I kept my pockets double-stuffed like Oreos
Since creatin' the digital kingdom of the Marios
It all began on Donkey Kong
He was just a jump man getting his monkey on
And trying to save Daisy
Was making 'em crazy
He's come a long way since those 8-bit 80s
But who knew in the future
He'd be killing Goombas
And scooping Princess Peach from the King of Koopas

He threw a cape on his back and he became super
These are the life and times of a mushroom trooper
His brother's a coward
Could be divine intervention from a higher power
But Mario defends Luigi spittin' fire-flowers
And it's weird that it's been all these years
Since he originally appeared
But Mario's still here
Classic
