Jason (feat. Nikki Flores)

[Verse 1]
Boot up the game, hit “start,” and pray,
But my runner jogs sideways like he’s made of clay.
Needs a special button just to move at speed—
Kinda strange for a hero built for pure stampede.
Turning feels like steering with a coat-hanger wheel,
And jumps miss platforms they clearly should feel.

[Chorus]
He’s a speedster malfunction—
Slowing down in open space.
All the muscle, all the flair,
But he moves like he's stuck in paste.
He’s a speedster malfunction—
Parkour glitching on the wall.
Wasn’t built for baby steps,
Yet he barely runs at all.

[Verse 2]
Wisps pop out with instructions that freeze the screen,
Then vanish mid-use for no reason routine.
One drills through dirt, then quits mid-route for fun,
Another ricochets off rails like physics came undone.
Homing strike picks targets like it’s drawing lots—
Sometimes links a chain, sometimes ties in knots.

[Chorus]
He’s a speedster malfunction—
Meant for flow but tripping through.
Every gadget breaks momentum
Like the code forgot what to do.
He’s a speedster malfunction—
Trying hard to look refined.
But he outruns nothing here
Except maybe my peace of mind.

[Bridge]
Floating honeycombs, deserts in the sky,
Fruit-juice waterslides that never explain why.
Villains holding remotes with a “go” and “stop,”
Yet no one uses logic and the threats just flop.
My buddy builds tech from a stick and a spoon
While I'm slipping on ice like a clumsy raccoon.

[Verse 3]
Cutscenes look ripped from a decade past,
With cloudy backdrops rendered last.
Animals trapped in midair cages fall,
Somehow survive, then bounce like rubber balls.
Every zone feels stitched from random sets,
Like the devs pulled themes from a bag of regrets.

[Final Chorus]
He’s a speedster malfunction—
Lost on levels built as cubes.
No precision, no momentum,
Just a playlist of game-design moods.
He’s a speedster malfunction—
Still the one we root to win.
But the world keeps tripping him
Before he even gets to spin.
