Kromert - The Rookie Lyrics

You can call me the rookie
But better not call me a noob
And in case you mistook me
I've got some news for you
Not a Sangheili, but I
Always keep it 'leet
Since the days of golden 'hogs
On the Headlong streets
It's the rookie, separated from my team
I got some BR55's and an M808V
Can't see me on radar man
They better check the VISR
Creepin' from behind
My enemies are none the wiser
Like the lifts on Ivory Tower
Only place I go is higher
It's darkest before the dawn
But I'm burning just like a fire
This battle is kicking off, and it's
Time to place your bets
Before you get a crushed neck
Like the Prophet of Regret
Speaking of regret, I'll make you regret
That you Covies showed up
With that raggedy ass fleet
That the Corps. just blew up
Movin' through the streets
Like a phantom dropping ghosts
What you don't know is I'm the agent
The Office of Naval Intelligence chose, yo

I'm not looking for a fight
I'm just trying to survive through the night
Gotta find Buck, Mickey and Dutch
Romeo too, I hope it's enough
I know that it's tough to go it alone
Got balls of steel, man I don't need stones
Just call me the rookie
But not for long
You can call me the rookie
But just for the song
You can call me the rookie
The night is long
Even if I'm the rookie
I promise I'm living 'til dawn

Like Weiss Schnee, the ice queen
Do not take me lightly
I see through the dark, I got my
VISR shining brightly
Gotta keep it clean, just like the superintendent
So I'm taking out the trash
Just like my crew had intended, before
Feet first into hell became literal
Slipstream rupture, situation looking critical
55 is always by my side
That's a principal
But if I make it back I'll probably
Need a damn physical
But hold up, wait a minute
I am the living proof
That the sky might be the limit
But the ceiling is the roof
Space cowboy but I got my limits
Never took chemistry, failed outta physics
No trap cards like I casted a Jinzo
Not that hard, man, you're just a shisno
Just like the Arbiter, stuck in between
Living a lie and living a dream
It's never as simple as it first might seem
Were it so easy, we'd all be at peace
Ain't no rookie, I'm a Halo vet
Put in my time and I paid my debts
Dragon of the West is a triple threat
New Mombasa, pay respects

I'm not looking for a fight
I'm just trying to survive through the night
Gotta find Buck, Mickey and Dutch
Romeo too, I hope it's enough
I know that it's tough to go it alone
Got balls of steel, man I don't need stones
Just call me the rookie
But not for long
You can call me the rookie
But just for the song
You can call me the rookie
The night is long
Even if I'm the rookie
I promise I'm living 'til dawn
