Fresh off Crash 2 and 3 and after enjoying Jak 1 thoroughly at the time of its release, begging and pleading with my parents to let me play this game because it, unlike its predecessor, (gasp) had a T-rating, "I'm gonna kill Praxis" made a psychic impact crater on my 8-year-old brain
I eventually wore down my Dad into buying it for me while we were sitting at Burger King
I could barely get this game so you know sure as shit my parents wouldn't even let me be in the same room as GTA, which made anything like it a sort of occult forbidden object
Open-world games were chaos, and I lived in a world of order, manicured for such objects and selected out, but this game got through
With all the effortlessly edgy aesthetic of a non-existent cool older brother, Naughty Dog's voice-cracking awkward puberty had everything I could've wanted at the time, like a character from a game I already played suddenly talking and having a cool SSJ transformation going absolutely sicko mode, it had police state dystopia, it had a fat guy in a hoverchair, cars, guns, and even Swear Words
I don't know if I dare revisit this game because it might not be as cool as it was in my memory
Jak 3 was received eagerly, preordered (!) and devoured with day-one pride, Jak X blew for reasons my young mind was incapable of articulating despite CTR being evergreen, and then Naughty Dog really dropped off and never made a game that would keep me hooked enough to finish it ever again
Unkarted remains unseen to this day, let alone The Laps of Us

[Intro]
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no, (Yo yo yo)
Oh no you didn't!

[Verse 1]
Sucker tried to play me, but you never paid me, never (Oh no you didn't!)
Payback is a-comin', you will be runnin' forever (Oh no you didn't!)
Until I get my vengeance, I will never end this mayhem (Oh no you didn't!)
I'm a mercenary, you ain't got a prayer you owe me (Oh no you didn't!)

[Chorus]
Oh no you didn't
Oh no you didn't
Oh no you didn't
Oh no you didn't
Didn't you oh no
You didn't pay me what you owe me
So now it's over for you

[Break]
(Yeah.)
(Yo yo, check it out.)
(Oh no you didn't!)
[Verse 2]
First you tried to trap me, then you bust a cap in my ass (Oh no you didn't!)
Such humiliation will bring annihilation at last (Oh no you didn't!)
It will be delicious when I get vicious tomorrow (Oh no you didn't!)
There's no second chances, you will do the dance of sorrow (Oh no you didn't!)

[Chorus]
Oh no you didn't
Oh no you didn't
Oh no you didn't
Oh no you didn't
Didn't you oh no
You didn't pay me what you owe me
So now it's over for you

[Break]
(What a fool.)
(Alright c'mon,)
(Oh no you didn't!)

[Bridge]
Betta' watch your back, boy, keep runnin'
This ain't just a game, I'll never stop comin'
I got my arsenal
I put out the call
And when I'm finished ya'll
You'll be a rag doll
[Verse 3]
Fool tried to diss' me, now you're gonna wish you were dead (Oh no you didn't!)
After I deliver, your blood will be a river of red (Oh no you didn't!)
Better be aware when no one's there to defend you (Oh no you didn't!)
So many ways to kill, it's going to be a thrill to end you (Oh no you didn't!)

[Chorus]
Oh no you didn't
Oh no you didn't
Oh no you didn't
Oh no you didn't
Didn't you oh no
You didn't pay me what you owe me
So now it's over for you

[Outro]
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no you...(explosion)
