1-UP and Sir J bump into the Zone Runners (Sir J's crew) and the work out an interesting arrangement. In exchange for helping 1-UP find the final stone, the ZRs want the chaos emerald 1-UP found back on NES 1.
lyrics
Sir J: Transmitting rendevouz point signal for ZONE RUNNERS. Please respond.
1-UP: Ooh, I may be a little bit slow right now but, uh, bear with me... What is "Zone Runners?"
Sir J: Yeeaah, my homies I told you about earlier, remember?
1-UP: Oh ha ha, dope! I need you guys' help with something, please!
Sir J: Huh, funny coincidence but we actually need YOUR help, too.
1-UP: Oh really?
Sir J: Well...
1-UP: Spit it out, man
Sir J: Heeeere's the deal!
SIR J :
Ever since a long time ago in a galaxy far away
I've Been Runnin Zones, invadin Mad Space
Imagidrains know I ain’t a foreign name
to Mr. 1-UP since way back in the first game
The wordplay is if you lurk in our way,
Your alien plans are getting re-arranged
We’ve been jamming since the earlier age of emulation
But now I’ve brought the other two to make it rain all up in your face, UH!
Remember I’m the most insane
Bringing Sunshine since the Pokeman days
Try to catch us, end up getting grazed
By the one-punch K-O straight to the Mind frame
Valentine’s mic will decimate
every chaos control freak styling our lane
So halc’s got the brains to insure all stones be getting reclaimed
and then we’ll sit back, relax, and crack a cool drank (ahhh)
Hook (all):
1-UP I’d like to introduce (yo wassup J?)
You to the homies in my crew (yo wassup blud/man)
They helped me get back on the track (ha ha ha Crazy Robo)
So rest assured we got yo back (aaawhhee YEEeeeah)
It’s great to see you once again (you too, man!)
Sorry for crashing in your lands (naw, stop by more often)
I know we’ll have a good time (Where da ladies at?)
If you help me take out these guys (piece of cake, let’s do it)
I need some help in this zone (uh huh)
So I called on the pros (oh yeah)
Let’s get some power stones (mmhmmm)
Let’s rock some emeralds (alright)
He needs some help in this zone (uh huh)
So he called on the pros (oh yeah)
Let’s get some power stones (OKAAY)
Let’s rock the emeralds
DiGi Valentine :
So J, you say you know this guy? (Right!) Alright, well it's on tonight!
Everybody in the place give us some Mad Space, we're gonna blast off and crash on this base
Yeah, things are gonna get hectic, don't sweat it tho', we brought our own medic
Check it, a team up so epic,1-UP want a power stone? Let's go get it!
Hit the Zone running, clear a couple of loops, hit checkpoints, clear a couple of routes
Clash with Badniks, smash up a couple of groups, rest In pieces, 21 gun salutes
Don't need clues from a crap TV, find the computer room, hack a PC
Grab all the info, I roll sneaky, now Chaos Control yo, you can't see me.
:: Dr. halc ::
Yo, coordinates confirmed, fam
I got the fastest route planned like wham bam thank you mam
with the crew at the ready and a extra man
before the next hook that stone will be yours (yeaaaah)
but a little badnik interference may be at hand
and I ain't really got the patience so let me take the lead and land
a spindash, right jab, uppercut, homing attack, watch me turn my back and prepare to explode (boom)
that's how we roll in this crew, dude,
no mercy, no prisoners and a big loot
treasure hunters searching for some nice jewels
warlords of the zone, reckless when we sail through
sometimes its best to just BACK UP
'less you wanna fuck with 1-up and ZR's (whaaaaat?)
dawg, we takin your stuff
1-UP:
So... it’s... been... a...
Long Long time since NES 1, more like a few weeks it’s almost over and done
Keep the sunny side up, the way these homies ride up, these brothers always right, just watch the way we glide up
I'm really glad that me and J met each other, right now this mission’s like bread and butter
Breaking containers like an egg... Man, gaining powers you'll never with... Stand
Keep it real cool with a party vibe, killin fools but some how we keep this party live
Flipping em out making em shout, when I make em pout these scrubs get popped like twerking yowwww
With these four beasts we’ll find it with ease, search at 34 North and like 23 east
If Imagidrains show we burnnnn em like rubber, should have thought fore you crossed 1-UP.. and Zone Runners
(Hook)
Outro:
1 to the UP
2 killer flows
3 dope Runners are ready to go
Imagidrain Army
you should've stayed home
You made a mistake runnin up in our zone
(x2)
1-UP: Oh my God, I can't think you guys enough! Ah, that was so awesome.
Here's that Chaos Emerald I promised you guys.
We spent a lot of time getting it on NES 1, but I think it's going to be in good hands.
Wanna run again sometime soon?
ZRs: Aaaaww YEEeaah
1-UP: Bet!

I love this whole album: It just captures a wide range of experiences and affects the listener with a wide range of emotions.
I first liked this album because of the nerdcore elements, but I fell in love when I realized that these verses were true poetry, speaking to a deeper truth and beauty unlike most hip-hop I've heard. "A Poet" exemplifies this with its bittersweet message about how poetry is not valued. This is the first hip-hop tune I've ever shed a tear over.
Take a bow, Mega Ran. platinumazure
