Bootleggers Buzz Kareoke PoisonBullet

As I’m starting to rank up to a reasonable level again, after I was unjustly shot... I’m sure you know by now, I’ve started to notice that the time between ranking up really can drag!

Scum to Gangster, 1 OC easy. Assassin to Boss, 6 OCs.. Still not bad. But R Boss to Godfather, more than 10 OCs; especially with my very poor amount of crimes which is what I get for spending all my time on the forums!
So I was thinking about how I could let the Bootleggers community know how I felt about this delay in ranking was starting to get on my nerves and I thought..... Kareoke! I know what a surprise!

Haven’t ranked up yet – To the tune of ‘Haven’t met you yet’ by Michael Buble

I’m not surprised, not everyone ranks,
I’ve been shot so many times I just think no thanks,
I rank myself up; someone else shoots me down,
I get all ranked up then they shoot me straight down!
I’ve tried so very hard not to get shot,
I even went and bought myself a safehouse,
I thought I’d thought of every possibility... (oooh).

And I know some day that it might all work out,
All my hard work will be will be worth it when I’m Nation Don,
And I promise you kid, I’d go on one hell of a spree,
But oooh I just haven’t ranked up yet!

I might have to wait, I’ll never give up,
I guess it’s half timing, and the other half’s luck!
Whatever state I’m in, whatever is free,
I’ll come out of nowhere and onto the states page.

And I know that it’ll be so amazing,
And baby that gold profiles gonna change me,
And now I’m thinking of every possibility.... (oooh)

And I know some day that it might all work out,
All my hard work will be will be worth it when I’m Nation Don,
And I promise you kid, I’d go on one hell of a spree,
But oooh I just haven’t ranked up yet!


And there you have it; a song parody that was definitely meant to be about the frustration of ranking but others who have read it say there may be a subconscious message in there. Something to do with what I want to achieve on the game.. I think they’re overanalysing!
Hope you enjoyed!
