      oh rly? I was 6 yo in 1997 and was pretty sure that is something big.
      One guy on my neighborhood copied it from me on floppy disks. You can imagine how much floppys it was? 25? 50?

      I think I remember promo material for GTA London being inside the box of the original GTA. Video games got made quickly back in those days. From 1997-2001 we had FOUR GTAs, going from GTA 1, GTA London, GTA 2 to the 3D of GTA 3. Waiting for a game more than two years? Not back in those days. That's why Duke Nukem Forever and the original Team Fortress 2 were legendary with their delays. Now players don't even bother to shrug at something like Star Citizen.

      That refers to the fact that the game is called “grand theft auto” which means stealing cars. So that’s why the dude says “Let’s go for a joyride”.

      Not sure of you're from the U.S or not, but "Joyride" was (not so much anymore) a pretty widely used way of describing stealing a car and taking it for a ride.
      It's also used as a term for taking a casual ride in a car and doesn't necessarily imply stealing.

    (Good shot kid, you got him)
    (Good shot kid, you got him)
    Hotel, downtown, speeding all around
    An AK-47 got the power in it's barrel
    To move any mother that gets in the way
    Just another power machine on the freeway
    Riding with me is my MC homeboy
    Knowing the rules ain't part of his program
    Finding the right way around this map
    Might be pretty hard 'cause he's fucked on crack
    G - grand theft auto
    You gotta make a mark and move where you want to
    T - theft
    Determination to steal what you can and run from the nation
    A - hey, what do ya say?
    We automate the sequence and speed for my getaway
    Take it to the edge, there's nowhere to hide
    And call up the boys, let's go for a joyride
    Let's go for a joyride
    Stop the violence from the police
    Is what my dad used say but now he's deceased
    He got caught in a jam, threw in the can
    When the cops from Brooklyn said he'd killed another man
    Street knowledge was my main game
    To figure out the law, to figure out the frame
    Just when I thought I knew justice
    A cop behind me said, you just been busted
    NYPD (NYPD)
    LAPD (LAPD)
    SFPD (SFPD)
    Don't fuck with me

      "The song was written by Craig Conner, one of Rockstar's in-house musicians, and is a stereotype of 'gangsta rap', with blatant lyrics concerning (appropriately) car theft, drug use, running from the law and the possession and use of firearms. Conner also played all of the instruments in the song.
      The track first appears in Grand Theft Auto, where it is credited to the fictitious band Da Shootaz, fronted by rapper Robert DeNegro (an obvious pun on actor Robert De Niro, who starred in many of the gangster films that have been cited as inspiration for the GTA games)"

    Just another power machine on the freeway
    Riding with me is my mc homeboy
    Knowing the rules ain't part of his program
    Finding tha right way around this map
    Might be pretty hard 'cause he's fucked on crack
    G-grand theft auto
    You gotta make a mark to move where you want to
    T-theft
    Determination to steal what you can and run from the nation
    A-hey, what do ya say?
    We automate the sequence and speed for my getaway
    Ticket to the edge is nowhere to hide,
    And call up the boy. let's go for a joyride [x2]
    Stop tha violence from the police
    You know my dad used to say but now he's deceased
    He got caught in a jam, threw in the can
    When the cops from brooklyn said he killed another man
    Seek knowledge was my main game
    To figure out the the law, to figure out the frame
    Just when i thought i knew justice
    A cop behind me said "you just been busted"
