I was #AddictedToMara even as a kid.
With my headphones on in my bedroom I would chill and just sit.
Whether I was happy, sad or throwing a fit.
Picked on in school for even talking about playing it.
Put down that ball that bat and that mitt.
Run home, plug in your dial-up, your teeth start to grit.
Loading screens taking too long for my crit.
I just wanna play, why you taking so long to load one pic?
As the years go by it gets better, better than that 2013 dip.
Hackers, glitchers and evil people drowning my ship.
Can't even play without feeling ill-equipped.
The battles we've won may be lost in just one click.
But no matter the hate, no matter degrate, be happy we have what we have with so many inconsiderate.
Our walls can not hold, power does not rate.
A price we pay for a game so great.
