Apex Legends
Apex Predicament: Battling Frustration in Lil Thikki's Virtual Realm
Lyrics
I got a PC a year ago
Reflecting on the start of the gaming experience with a new PC.
It started out great, how would I know
Initially positive feelings about the gaming journey.
That fateful day I met my bro
Introduction of a friend ("bro") met while playing Valorant on Icebox.
On Icebox in Valorant, he said "yo"
Recollection of the initial encounter with the friend.
"I got this game that I used to grind
Description of the progression from a mild gaming experience to a more challenging one, but with a positive attitude.
It started out tame, Jesus, I was so blind
-'Til I got too good and I started to find
-The game got real sweaty, but I didn't mind"
-I should of just listened when he told me
Realization of the difficulties in the game, including encountering skilled players ("level 3s") and being featured on opponents' streams.
"Don't download Apex on your brand new PC"
-I didn't know these level 3s had a beam
-To top it all off I got clipped on their stream
-I fucking hate this game, I'm always cursing
Expressing frustration with the prevalence of smurfing, third-party encounters, and challenges in the game.
All I go against is smurfing and smurfing
-Stop making alts cuz you can't play your rank
-Our team killed 2 but their third was on flank
-Third party players get off of my ass
Continued frustration with third-party players, being overwhelmed by multiple teams, and questioning the abundance of a particular weapon (R3).
Four teams just shot me, now I'm eating grass
-Just shoot each other first, don't aim at me
-Why does everybody have an R3?
-My rank is Gold but I play against Preds
Describing a discrepancy between the player's Gold rank and facing more skilled opponents, leading to frustration and defeat.
Diamonds heard shots so I'm 'bout to be dead
-I got shot 24 times in the head
-By an R9, guess I'll get off instead
-Hey bitch, I don't have a gun
Encountering challenges in the game, expressing dissatisfaction with the experience, and referencing a notable opponent from Season One.
For a BR game, this shit isn't that fun
-L-Star in my face that shit hit like the sun
-I just got killed by a Pred, Season One
-Damn, you're so fucking lame
Expressing dissatisfaction with the game's mechanics, landing locations, and criticizing Respawn for perceived shortcomings.
Volt against fists, no that isn't the same
-I'm landing on garbage when I start a game
-Call Respawn scarecrow since they have no brain
-Fuck, dude
Frustration with the intensity of the game and a call for improvements from the developers.
I can't sweat any fucking harder
-Fix your shit
-And I just wanna give a shoutout to Chrome Touch for the beat
Giving credit to the music producer and expressing determination to continue playing despite frustrations.
Let's fucking
-Run this
-Shit
-I just respawned him it attracted enemies
Describing challenging situations, including respawning attracting enemies and facing inevitable death in the game.
This game is trash but it will be the death of me
-My Legend's head be lookin' just like Kennedy
-No time to revive, I'm dying slow, steadily
-Third party players get off of my ass
Reiteration of frustrations with third-party encounters, opponents using the R3 weapon, and facing high-rank players despite a Gold rank.
Four teams just shot me, now I'm eating grass
-Just shoot each other first, don't aim at me
-Why does everybody have an R3?
-My rank is Gold but I play against Preds
Continued frustration with facing skilled opponents and expressing resignation after repeated defeats.
Diamonds heard shots so I'm 'bout to be dead
-I got shot 24 times in the head
-By an R9, guess I'll get off instead
-We landed in Runoff
Narration of in-game events, including a specific location (Runoff) and interactions with other players.
I'm popping my gun off
-I just heard a Wraith cough
-Come on Valk, let's take off
-Got scanned by a Blood
Describing encounters with enemies using specific weapons and the demise of a teammate.
A Charge Rifle beamed me, that guy is a stud
-And down goes my bud
-They're shooting razors and I'm shooting spuds
-Looked down at my HUD
Reflecting on being overwhelmed by enemies and the unfortunate outcome of the encounter.
I am 1 shot crouching down in the mud
-Then I heard a thud
-I got third partied, my gun is a dud
-I got third partied... FUCK
Expressing frustration and disappointment after a third-party situation results in defeat.
Third party players get off of my ass
Repetition of frustration themes, including encounters with high-rank players, dissatisfaction with the game, and criticism of Respawn's matchmaking.
Four teams just shot me, now I'm eating grass
-Just shoot each other first, don't aim at me
-Why does everybody have an R3?
-My rank is Gold but I play against Preds
-Diamonds heard shots so I'm 'bout to be dead
-I got shot 24 times in the head
-By an R9, I'll just get off instead
-Fuck you Respawn
-Why'd you make such a dogshit game?
-Get your SBMM up to speed
-Ain't nobody gonna play your shit
-If they keep going against Preds
Expressing discontent with the game and a belief that others will not continue playing if matchmaking issues persist.
