Infamous
A Game Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Born and raised original,
You're just TV typical.
You think I'm just a gimmick?
From east to west you pussies mimic.
Right now's our time, and all I fucking know,
Is this city, throw it up,
Toronto.
Blinding lights, where I go.
I look down from the top and it's crowded,
Below.

Rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I'm not.
Fuck yeah, I have an ego, but you would too.
If you had what I got,
But we embrace, all of this hate.
Bitch you're 15 minutes late.
Right now's our time, and all I fucking know,
Is this city, throw it up,
Toronto.

Blinding lights, where I go.
I look down from the top and it's crowded,
Below.

Blinding lights, where I go.
I look down from the top and it's crowded,
Below.

They only see us when they look up.
Its kinda lonely where we've been standing.

But we got perfect view that's HD, wait 7D, Canon.

That's flashing lights in my past life.
Pilot mode about to take flight.
Paparazzi where we go, cool boyz you can blame it on my ego.

She say I got her wetter then Nemo.
I work for everything I need so,
I need more, a bad bitch, brains with a 4. average
Backwoods with a little bit of cabbage.

And you know we killing this shit,
And you know we about to take over,
I advise you Abandon All Ships.

Blinding lights, where I go.
I look down from the top and it's crowded,
Below.

Blinding lights, where I go.
I look down from the top and it's crowded,
Below.

If you don't like us, fuck you.
Forever Loney Crew.
FLC ain't running.
UO is rising.
You're with us, or against us.
AAS is coming.
New York's running.
LA's running.




Yeah, you should be fucking scared.
Toronto's coming.

Overall Meaning

In "Infamous," A Game juxtaposes his self-assuredness with his awareness that he is perceived as just another product of the entertainment industry. He asserts that he is original while others are simply imitators, and takes pride in representing Toronto. The blinding lights represent his newfound fame, and the sense of loneliness he feels in his elevated position. However, he also understands that fame attracts hate, and is willing to accept that hate as long as he remains true to himself. He also acknowledges his ego, but attributes it to his success and drive to achieve more.


The song has a strong message of self-confidence and individuality, in the face of the pressures to conform and fit into society's standards. It encourages listeners to embrace who they are, regardless of whether they are liked or not. A Game's style in "Infamous" is confrontational, using explicit language and braggadocio to assert his identity and stand out from the crowd.

There Definitely needs to be more of this !

Would be cool if he used a sword too in the next installment!
And not only is it shocking!

But bloody shocking !

Would be awesome!

And keep that sense of karma and do u wanna go through as the good guy who would use ur power for good !

Or bad who would actually have ppl hating him in every which way .

But maybe that's the more powerful way.

So there is give and take.

There should be temptation to go the bad way !

But if u go good it makes up for it towards the end of the game giving the character a massive boost against any of ur enemies!

Making u so massively untouchable towards the end that any time going through a replay u already know it's the long term best solution but to get stronger faster u go the evil way.

If I made a video games I would definitely incorporate that into some of my games.



@pauljakeman

Gee thanks for the spoiler! 😂

This video was awesome, real well done! Was such a great game that really did feel new when it came out. I always played these on normal for good karma then replayed on hard for bad karma. For me my favorite was always the first InFamous, but it’s a shame that it’s just been left as a series.

It’s was one of the first newer 3d games that I played over and over again, the other is Uncharted 2.

I think another thing that I miss about not just infamous but a lot of games back then was them not having tons of dlc or tacked on multiplayer. There is some great games like that now, but back then a game that just came out and that was it was the norm.

Again great video Jake! Here’s hoping that we get another in the series in the future .

Infamous was such a big part of my childhood. Infamous was special because it was a single player, offline, no micro transactions, and a great story. Really hoping for a new Infamous with Cole returning.

@gameranxTV

👌

@tbtmediaclan7669

Your childhood was in 2014? Brah how old are you? 🤨

@MrKARUNGI

@TBT MEDIA CLAN good chance they are referring to the first game in 2009.

@vincentsavoretti2201

Nothing in that list was special in 2009.

@SidM7

InFamous is weirdly forgotten today, but that’s a damn shame. They’re just plain phenomenal, especially part 2. Glad to see Sucker Punch Productions finally achieve the mass success it always deserved with Ghost of Tsushima.

@twistedtick

Oh my God, thank you so much for acknowledging me Gameranx! That really made my whole week!

@elijahbanks1507

I always felt the first game was better. as you progress through the game you feel like you’re getting way more powerful, especially with the evil powers. And the ionic storm was so much better in the first game. They just felt way more destructive. Infamous 2 definitely had more variety with the powers, but never felt quite as strong. You don’t even get the rocket until the end of the game. The story/ bosses felt better in the first game too. They did do a great job improving the traversal in the second one though.

@SufyJuice

they made Ghost of Tsushima omg I was wondering what they were up too
