“Ganker’s Paradise”

As I warp through the systems in the shadow of death,
I take a look at my isk and realize there’s nothin’ left.
‘Cause I’ve been blastin’ and scrammin’ so long that
Even my corp mates think that my mind is gone.

But I ain’t never crossed a pilot that didn’t deserve it,
In New Eden, respect’s earned, you know that’s certain.
You better watch where you’re mining and hauling,
Or you and your fleet might be down and falling.

I really hate to gank, but I gotta lock,
As they pop, I see myself in that laser shock.
Fool, I’m the kind of G that capsuleers wanna be like,
In my pod in the night, warp-drifting past the starlight.

Chorus
Been spendin’ most their lives, livin’ in a ganker’s paradise.
Haulers cry and pay the price, livin’ in a ganker’s paradise.
Keep spendin’ most our lives, livin’ in a ganker’s paradise.
Keep spendin’ most our lives, livin’ in a ganker’s paradise.

Look at the universe they got me facing,
I can’t live a normal life, got that PvP sensation.
So I gotta fly dirty with my outlaw crew,
Too many killmarks, got me aiming true.

I’m an educated pirate with isk on my mind,
A scram in my hold and destruction in kind.
I’m a gankin’ outlaw, warp disruptor pro,
And my fleet is down, so don’t provoke the show.

Fool, death ain’t nothin’ but a gate-jump away,
I’m living life one gank at a time, what can I say?
I’m 46 now but will I see 47?
The way I roam in low sec, maybe warp to heaven.

Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we gank are you and me?

Chorus
Been spendin’ most their lives, livin’ in a ganker’s paradise.
Every warp a roll of dice, livin’ in a ganker’s paradise.
Keep spendin’ most our lives, livin’ in a ganker’s paradise.
Keep spendin’ most our lives, livin’ in a ganker’s paradise.

Power and the isk, isk and the power,
Fleetin’ up and watchin’ wrecks every hour.
Everybody’s runnin’, but half of them ain’t lookin’,
It’s goin’ down on grid, but I don’t know who’s cookin’.

They say I gotta learn, but nobody’s here to teach me,
If they can’t understand it, they’ll never reach me.
I guess they can’t, I guess they won’t,
Now I’m laughing in their wrecks, chump.

Chorus
Been spendin’ most their lives, livin’ in a ganker’s paradise.
Risking all without advice, livin’ in a ganker’s paradise.
Keep spendin’ most our lives, livin’ in a ganker’s paradise.
Keep spendin’ most our lives, livin’ in a ganker’s paradise.

Now either perform it or get someone to perform a parody vid for it like the old days of Eve. That would be the shiznit.

Honestly, if it wasn’t for those gangs of PvPers, I wouldn’t be motivated to always be improving.

@L0NEWARRIOR

That is a parody of a rap song from Artis Leon Ivey Jr. AKA Coolio, who was found dead in 2022 from an overdose of fentanyl, heroin, and methamphetamine in a hotel room at 59yo.

I don’t think that glorifying drug use and gangbanging is a good idea for the youths who read these forums.

Plus, the song was originally Stevie wonder’s creation so Coolio did not have much to be proud of besides taking the lyrics of another artist.

What youths? The average Eve player in in their 30’s.
