Call me the pipe man, I'm in a pipe land Doing all I can, high like Jumpman Hot like a frying pan, swing it with both hands Knock it to the fans in the back stands Triple jumps, back flips and handstands And on my feet I always land I've got a good plan Grab these coins, increase my lifespan All in due time Put my costume on and get on my grind You think I'm lying But it all true, 'specially the parts where i died I've got plenty of lives Findin' treasure all the time When I fall in a pit, take a good hit Get back up and hit retry Future thoughts, I got the present before me In another land, I stand, at the beginning I'm seven dash two, trying to get to seven dash three Got those four dash two dash zero dreams Check out all these greens Look at all these pipes Trying to set the scene You know what I like Got so much game now, but once I was brand new Getting high as I can in the arcade, what about you Learn my lines now bars hit hard like kung fu Kill harder than a kaizo when I come through I can not lose Well a few lives lost, but I always pull through You know how I do Got that million dollar game, bet you seen it in the news Got them power ups I'm the maker, I construct Like a glitch, disrupt End the game abrupt Crawling through pipes, trying to get to that good life Find me a princess, trying to get me a cake slice Wouldn't that be nice For now, keep my head down, ascend to new heights Taking flight for the first time, never gonna come down Threatening with the P-wing as I fly towards the crown Used to fade into the background Now I take on every stage, no saves, never back down Turn the volume louder for the man of the hour Foes cower as I stack coins higher than a tower 99 lives, go ahead and check the counter These lines I spit hotter than a fire flower

Only together can we make it through Topple any enemy as long as I got you Only together can we make it through Topple any enemy as long as I got you Girl I know you got some doubts but I think I've found a way out Think I've mapped out, dug out this route This maze we go through This haze we add smoke to You say you've outgrew But these lines still reach your heart when we go through These tough times These highs and then the declines We've made it through another level Put another verse, on another instrumental Some tough foes we got to fight through But I always knew it would be you that I choose Please excuse the time it took to come around Needed some time to take a look around Needed to gain some more XP Make sure energy tank never empty Only together can we make it through Topple any enemy as long as I got you Only together can we make it through Topple any enemy as long as I got you Going co-op, letting shots off, land clean Always handle your side of the screen Understand what I'm doing Thoughts brewing, actions ensuing Another mixtape for reviewing and purchase Took a chance on something worthless Saw some gold beneath the surface Get hot, take shape, just put me in the furnace Ain't perfect but I found purpose in these lines Paint paper with these rhymes, seein' my designs Late start, but catching up to get mine Get hyped every time you see my trying No lying, always keep it real, one hundred Confronted by real life, feeling hunted By time, but my life re-aligned Now that I got you in mine Only together can we make it through Topple any enemy as long as I got you Only together can we make it through Topple any enemy as long as I got you Weather the storm gotta run a tight ship Get lit, but always keep a tight lip, never slip Never waver, always smooth, never trip Hold on tight, don't lose that grip Because it's us against the whole world Look at us, who wouldn't want to steal my girl We got trust, we got bonds Our love we're keepin' strong Never back down, teamwork wins every round Make new sounds, dream works now that you're around Once you hit start and entered the game Life's been insane, but in the best way My brain filled up with these thoughts Gotta say them out loud, not trying to put you on the spot But I've got to be honest, gonna lay out the plot Hit the credits with you is all I've ever sought Only together can we make it through Topple any enemy as long as I got you Only together can we make it through Topple any enemy as long as I got you

Well it looks like the worst finally happened Looks like I'm officially the captain Of this industry, what has gotten into me Time to cross the land and put an end to this catastrophe Looks like I've got to do a bit of everything To change the course of history, my legend is a mystery Box, locked up, like a chest hidden in the woods Lost forest is the only place I'm understood Time to get good, get right, this sword I slice My way through enemies, never think twice Cut once, these runts, I drop, I rise, precise Looking for a fight, I'll turn out the lights Despite my reservations, no hesitation Invade dimensions with the slightest provocation Load up my weapons, still a lot of steps until my destination No more stressin, time to face the fate that I'm embracin Someones on my mind, crying out for help Never stop the grind, no time to worry 'bout my health I do it for the wealth, step right into dungeons Step out, full health, no frontin See somethin, do somethin, say nothin Say I'm a hero, don't make such assumptions Here to make some quick cash while I get the bass bumpin Know it won't last, blow up fast like an eruption Death mountain, no fairy fountain Just countin my steps 'cause I'm speedrunnin Dodging traps, 'cross the map I'm slummin Smashing through walls like the Kool-Aid man comin I'm gunnin for the light, sparkle in my eyes In my favorite pair of clothes, never wear no disguise Pop the treasure trunk got some new supplies More expert than an entire enterprise Call the officials, I'm on the hunt for the crystals Saving me some maidens is oh so essential Ain't another world, you know this ain't a rental Crossed a dark path, got control of every elemental Never accidental, never on the wrong path Warpath every place I'm at, first and final contact Brain intact, no maintenance on this track Every line cut so exact Clear the path until I reach the root of all evil Feel my wrath, make sure there's no time for a sequel No equal, never fit the mold Super bomb blastin right through your stronghold Get silver, get gold, gettin cash never get old Grabbing rupees until my wallet explode Like Chris I cracked the code Stocked up all these weapons now it's time to unload

Got off to a rocky start Good thing I've grown a rocky heart If I didn't break down then - shit Then I'm never gonna fall apart You think this worries me You thought these thoughts could bury me Nah, I'm a tougher breed I ain't pushed, (yeah) I exceed My whole life is a fallacy Look at all I got now, but still ain't got part of me My whole life is a fallacy Look at all I got now, but still ain't got part of me Kept my thoughts locked up Now I pop em out the trunk Used to be shy, act abrupt Now I never hesitate, tell a girl what's up Gonna play the hand I'm dealt Gonna take down every foe on this route Times get tough, tides low like a drought I'll let myself out, before I go south My whole life is a fallacy Look at all I got now, but still ain't got part of me My whole life is a fallacy Look at all I got now, but still ain't got part of me I just write more lines But nothing going to bring you back, nothing gonna make you mine Every time I look ahead there ain't no end There ain't no future don't pretend Who needs this place, let my soul ascend It's imminent, just say when Just cause I'm looking for eternity Doesn't mean you can't get there before me My whole life is a fallacy Look at all I got now, but still ain't got part of me My whole life is a fallacy Look at all I got now, but still ain't got part of me

I'm heated up, I'm on fire Shots never miss, game never retired Taking destruction to another level, it's getting dire Get expired, seventh heaven, never higher Getting lighter as I take off like a spaceship Change up my weapons and then let them rip Full contact hit, gonna take this trip Max contract shit, slide but don't slip Time to change form Time to change form Catch me crashing down the corridor Every form, come back for more Come back on a world tour Crossing countryside like a storm Lasers coming direct Firepower in full effect My force you best respect Coming at you with the whole deck Tossing out every rule Using up every tool At my disposal Seven force always vocal Full course, drop em with a choke hold Worldwide now I'm local I'd like to share a new proposal OP? I suppose so Time to change form Time to change form I'm on a rampage From another age Up to the main stage Just let me out my cage Simply, can't stop me, I keep it elementary Crushin everything, you don't want a piece of me But i'm giving it my all, blowing up, going 3-D Crawling out the TV like the girl from the ring And when I come through, destroy everything I see On you like a curse, this verse haunt your memories Time to make history, burst shots like artillery Are you still following Time to change form Time to change form I light up, green, in my thoughts, in my dreams On the moon with seven machines, know what I mean Growing older, soldier on, move fast, stay lean Grown much bolder in a cold world, no more teams Solo set sail, gonna prevail, good guys on my tail But i'm not so bad and I'm too big to fail I'm the rider and the storm Tiger, top predator, and I transform Like an urchin I'm urgin for more So many weapons I've got in store Crabs in a bucket No escape from this fate Go ahead and grab a ticket Pull up a seat, grab a plate Eagle eye vision you can't imitate Arrows like an archer, high firin' rate Time to change form Time to change form

Been through this a couple times Not sure why I'm still trying Just all I ever knew Don't give up, get up, and get through I'm about to jump through all these hoops Leaping flames, dodgin' bullets too Get to the next screen, presenting New challenges that I'm resenting No resetting, no retries, no extra lives When I finally make the jump don't act so surprised Took down a few guys bigger than me Revealed a few lies and controversy Foes try to catch my eye, let's see Name ain't rush, can't ride with me Work my way through your mob with ease With these powers, gonna do what I please At it again like it's déjà vu Already know what I'm about to do Will not back down once I break through Do you wanna play again At it again like it's déjà vu Already know what I'm about to do Will not back down once I break through Do you wanna play again Some say I'm outdated They want something new You just coasting they say Then wonder why I'm blue Gonna prove I got a few tricks up my sleeve Still got a few powers you haven't seen Still got a lot of bosses comin for me So routine now, actually I kind of agree Been at this for so long and nothin's changed So many powers and no one to blame Half robot is the only reason I'm half sane Traveled 'cross the map and back Save hearts and minds from the attack But my hometown is still where I'm at Save the world and cops still cut me no slack At it again like it's déjà vu Already know what I'm about to do Will not back down once I break through Do you wanna play again At it again like it's déjà vu Already know what I'm about to do Will not back down once I break through Do you wanna play again Step right up to another stage Every time I see a blank page Write my way out this cage Mind slowly twisted into another rage Starting out from the bottom again Never feel like I've got the right weapons The hardest route is every route I step in Every step to prevent Armageddon What other moves can I make How many trials must I undertake How many orders can I execute How many times must I hit reboot Then start back from the beginning Let evil build back, there's no winning But that' won't stop me, I'm still grinning I'll never drown, I keep swimming At it again like it's déjà vu Already know what I'm about to do Will not back down once I break through Do you wanna play again At it again like it's déjà vu Already know what I'm about to do Will not back down once I break through Do you wanna play again

Why you got me up on the beat man I guess It's time to make you understand You want this star You want to be where we are You know I got my hatchet You know that you can't match it We ain't just a fad, we a smash hit Just a little faded, hit that blunt and pass it I heard you passing through And I know you got your crew So I thought I'd bring mine too Red, green, black, pink, yellow cut true See us shinin like the sun Our whole squad number one We're just tryna have some fun Had a good time and we still won We've got this star now You can just stare down But you can't do nuthin, we runnin and we gunnin You've been done in, find a pipe and go jump in I'm stunnin' I'm sharp, I'm shinin' Like the star I'm holdin' I'm firin' Shots, from the barrel, volcano, I'm hot Slipped up, got caught. So easy, you thought F-Zero, why not, cause zero F's I got My crew going straight to the top Higher than a tower, got that star power Blade so sharp, I spit sparks like a shower See us shinin like the sun Our whole squad number one We're just tryna have some fun Had a good time and we still won My plot, my wish, for much success Sitting back with the crown and a lot less stress My existence, I insist on big digits And I subsist on your weakness Peep this, I'm at my peak fitness Witness as I drop foes like a sickness Kick this hero to the curb with a quickness Ain't finished, Got a death wish, high percentage Of sunshine, cause I got mine, next time I hope you keep a better grip on your dimes You stalling out, now I'm ballin Stole your dreams and took your wallet See us shinin like the sun Our whole squad number one We're just tryna have some fun Had a good time and we still won

How many sevens I roll How many halves made whole Draw you in like a black hole Put your breath on hold So much more than the sum of my parts Scorch the earth once I use some of my smarts Steadily climbing up some of these charts Sometimes first place in Mario Karts Okay let's start. Let's go let's get it Fully independent, don't sweat it, I'm swimmin From the very beginning all skin in, some fins in the water But I still jump in Screamin and cursin, but I still turn a verse in Best version, locked the door but I burst in You want a flow, I'll give you full immersion Precision like a surgeon, time to pull the curtains Open up shop, goin full pop Once I hit start, I just can't stop Open up shop, goin full pop Once I hit start, I just can't stop Wanna say something, no frontin Do it live, no pause buttons Keep my emotions locked up in a dungeon Let em loose like demons when I put pad to pen Wasted time is so frustrating In that space just waiting and waiting They finish the race while I'm still calculating My trajectory, on the runway, hesitating Until I grew up and saw a whole world in front of me Gated off, no money, no entry Try to make me wait a century But my legend won't wait for anybody Crash right through, ref too scared to call the penalty Let them plunder my heart and soul from me Get a little pay if they harness all my energy Trying to get a life that was never meant for me Don't know what I was waiting for Thought they'd just let me walk in through the front door Got to get my bars up until they can't ignore Digging up memories until I hit the core The root that takes shape, into a tall tree But you never see the tangles underneath Believe me, write, record, repeat Then hit the stage so you can take a seat I'm here saying all my thoughts out loud If you ain't listenin then why you standing in the crowd Just kidding, it's fine, this time, just vibe If the hook hard i'm sure you'll look up every line Go to rhyme, genius, put me on your playlist Then get pissed that my old rhymes still exist Always on to something bigger, always on to something better Wake up take a shower, grab my cap and grab my sweater and Open up shop, goin full pop Once I hit start, I just can't stop Open up shop, goin full pop Once I hit start, I just can't stop Another verse geez, another verse please Coughing up rhymes like a disease Temperatures over a hundred degrees But don't back away, let me put you at ease Let me explain, that I've never played this game Entertain, proclaim my name That should be me if it were all the same Going insane because I can't maintain My pace in this race, stall out, egg, on my face never retrace My steps, forget the past, pick up the pace Hit reset, don't leave a trace Still more words than a whole bookcase Still doubting me, can't say I'm surprised So don't be shocked when I don't say my goodbyes Sleep late, but once I rise, drop rhymes energized Like power lines, cheat codes on, infinite tries

about

It's your lucky day! 777. The new mixtape by Mode 7 is here! Nine beloved and cult classic games get the Mode 7 treatment. Hard hitting rhymes and catchy retro game beats from several seven based video games and video game music themes.
From Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, to the Theme of Seven Force from Gunstar Heroes. Along with obscure classics like Kid Kool and the Seven Wonder Herbs, and of course we got to get on that The 7th Saga music.

After dropping some truly obscure tracks on previous mixtapes, it's time to go full pop on this brand new release. New flows, hot remixes, and game themes you might actually recognize! 777 represents the culmination of work Mode 7 has put in up to this point.

After this one drops, I'm diving back into the studio to start cooking up some summer loving for later this year. I fully believe there are enough fantastic tracks here that will tide you over for months. Set this mixtape to repeat and vibe through a world full of old school video games, clever wordplay, and infectious hooks.

About Mode 7:
Mode 7 is a rapper and writer from Los Angeles, California, taking hip hop to another level with his original style of clever but conscious game music inspired hip hop. Raised on a heavy diet of video games and west coast rap while growing up, Mode 7 now combines and reimagines his love of Super Metroid and Tupac into a unique sound all his own.

Mode 7's style covers a range of hip hop and subject matter. Emotion comes through strong in many ways on Mode 7's music, tackling subjects like love and heartbreak, mental health, inequality, and loss with his own irreverent, often comedic bars. Combined with Mode 7's extensive knowledge of video game history creates fun, fluid, and informative lyrics with a surprising amount of real world depth.

You can find Mode 7 rocking the stage at various conventions and events. Be sure to check out bio.site/mode7 for booking and event info, as well as the latest music!
