10 Years - JT Music

10 years ago, two boys ventured into Halo 3 matchmaking

To start their journey… making charming yet often cringey music videos

This is a trip down memory lane

For all their homie g shizzle dawgs

It’s been 10 years and I still can’t wrap

My head around the fact that we still make raps

Take it back to '08 with «The Greatest Ever»

This is the same track, we just made it better

Reminiscin' the Machinima golden age

Red vs Blue showed the road we’d take

Started with Halo 3, that led to C.O.D

This is JT Machinima’s history

Now looking back on it there’s a lotta nostalgia

First vid — Wizard Battle (can we take that one down, bruh?)

White guys can rap — now we’re not so proud of

But in '09 — we signed a contract, made our first album

We never had a mission, but the vision was there

Soon as the viewers tuned in, felt like a privilege you cared

About the goofy music vids we made from our own rooms

First time on camera — making bold moves

Acting like we’re Halo pros, back in the day

Who remembers the «noob»?

That’s how I actually played

I’ll show you my shaft, while playing Minecraft

Then we had all the mobs rap — besides Ghast

Then came college — and all the student bills

Getting book-smart but still honing our skills

Back in '11 I lost Skull — couldn’t find him

I was in Heaven, if Heaven’s called Skyrim

We met an Australian, Andrea Storm Kaden

We put her in our raps, how much better she made them

First collab that we had was the Halo 4 rap

Now half our fans would rather that she made her own tracks

Took us 5 years to get 100K subs

Ooo, look a plaque — that’s something to hang up

Goodbye old logo, ain’t forgetting that

We got a new one, but Patfan got a tat

After FNAF came out, we had Five Long Nights

Now 70 million of you have joined us for a bite

Any new games coming?

Scott, do not make 'em

That means more songs — that means I gotta play 'em

Overwatch just got in town

And it sounds like a game we ain’t ever putting down

We’ve made hero raps, and battles with TF2

Plus we rock at the game, not in competitive dude

First time Pat really started to rap

Was Soldier 76 — he was a natural at that

I ordered costumes for us, what a good idea

I didn’t wanna wear it, I don’t mean to be a D. Va

We tried out Twitch — but that wasn’t our game

Thanks to all 10 people who usually came

So we kept grinding out a music video a week

Never thought we’d hit a million, but in 2017

You all helped the dream come true

Platonically speaking, we love you!

Plus every friend we’ve made in the gaming music community

Inspiring each other to keep growing and improving

Started shooting more live action videos too

Wouldn’t happen without having such a kick-ass crew

We met our friend River, he made-a-wish come true

Joined RoosterTeeth — wait, they made Red vs Blue

This channel began so we could keep in touch

It was all just for kicks, never seemed like much

We were just 2 kids with lots of games on our wish-lists

Now we got an office and we run it like a business

This rap may sound like we’re bragging about

All the nerdy fun stuff that we do

This next line’s cheesy, but we wouldn’t be here

If it wasn’t for you!

Thanks for lending your ears

For these past 10 years

Here’s to another 10

Let’s grab some beers!
