in 1998 i found my way to relic
the endless search for warez, and i was just a kid
it was the summer of 7th grade and instead of swimming
i was using mIRC, my love was just beginning
for this protocol of chat we been usin since
and lot have come and gone, i wonder where they've been
my first channel was #fam, some trolls from grade school
and some people i didn't know, but fuck it, it was cool
i remember the days of #dreamwarez
there were 100s of fserves to be raped there
all i wanted was roms, songs, apps, and wad files
i didn't think that i'd stay to chat for a while
but 21 years later and i'm still here player
up and down on that IRC like elevator
sometimes i take a break and i get outside
but i'll be on RELICNET til the day that i die
where i started is where i am and always will be
R E L I C dot N E T
relicnet got nothing but them OGs
where the average age of chatters is around 40
relicnet got two decades of history
the warez channels left but we still here, see?
packets still being sent to be received
so hit up the round robin or a server IP
you can still connect, it's ok to repeat
so i'll say again, sing it with me
where i started is where i am and always will be
R E L I C dot N E T
R E L I C dot N E T
R E L I C dot N E T
where i started is where i am and always will be
R E L I C dot N E T
and then there was the split between duke and dukey
excuse me if i got it wrong, the two nicks confuse me
friends were separated, and most picked a side
but i kicked it on both to maintain my stride
and then came the ddos, and the packets were flyin
channels kept movin, felt the networks were dyin
and Quasie only lasted for about a year
but guess which net is still standin here
shoutouts to shrapnal for keepin it movin
shoutouts to #edge for keepin it groovin
shoutouts to the lone bot in tbsg
shoutouts to eracer - the other one with a C
we've withstood the times, we've withstood the attacks
we can't let it go and use discord or slack
hell nah fuck that let's keep it real
i had to write this whole song to tell you how i feel
where i started is where i am and always will be
