[Verse 1: int eighty]
Hit the road, get on my flight fine, touch down, reset
Just gotta get in my right mind
Every second is prime time along for the ride
When this body's my vehicle I'ma drive mine
Lights in the tunnel, illuminate the skyline
A green metal scene not a dream but a pipe climb
(Gears march on) Witness the journey of a lifetime
So much struggle but it's relative, Einstein
Going in circles, trying to find the right sign
A one way ticket, we couldn't book it on Priceline
My rearview is clear view in front of me my eyes blind
Shouldn't be driving it in the night time
Easily lost and more easily scared
With the shadows from the bright lights
And high beams glare
Thick like the fog but clouded by doubt and fear
Then you defrost the windows
Everything becomes clear
See here, opportunities still appear
Same trips but the brand new flavor in your ear
More than a death tax year after year
If there's only one shot then it's more than a career (yeah)
Wrong turns and there's no going back
No slack impact detour after the fact that
Sometimes GPS got in on track but if only I could navigate life
With Google Maps like that
(right turn ahead)
[Chorus]
Welcome to your life, welcome to this road
The path's uncharted, gotta choose where you go
On this one way show, please pay the toll
With your hands on your wheel, gotta maintain control
Welcome to your life, welcome to this road
The path's just started, gotta choose where to go
On this one way show, relax, take it slow
(it's the return of the drifter)
[Verse 2: int eighty]
This goes out to my people everywhere
Who in suffering endured more than their fair share
The other kids at school made fun of what you wear
Gym class picked last and never the best player
The resistor, it's the, drifter
Mister, inter-rupt eighty just the descriptor
Table and it's stable so I spit a little quicker
To deliver all the syllables
Advanced to beginner didn't skip ya (Viktor)
This is for the new kids
Band nerds, chess clubs that never met Cupid
Every day feeling so intrusive
Past, present, and future all inclusive
Understand that they just got it wrong
In the zone or at home somewhere you belong
They put you in that cage full of rage King Kong
Claiming you were weak but inside so strong
Thinking back remembering the dread
How you hated weekdays lay awake in bed
How you clutched at your sanity by a thin thread
Wishing that your enemies had just been friends
Cause this is your time so they're in debt
For stealing all your shine made it hell instead
You had the answers they're not impressed
Embarrassed and distressed about your interests
[Chorus]
Welcome to your life, welcome to this road
The path's uncharted, gotta choose where you go
On this one way show, please pay the toll
With your hands on your wheel, gotta maintain control
Welcome to your life, welcome to this road
The path's just started, gotta choose where to go
On this one way show, relax, take it slow
(it's the return of the drifter)
[Verse 3: int eighty]
This one's for everyone, in no way political
Fine, just a little bit consider it municipal
Brushed off the critical defied all the ridicule
Denied any opportunity to make you miserable
This one's for you in the physical
You in the digital, you all together indivisible
You atypical, you all original
Who severed the umbilical you the individual
Now take a look at you, see it in the clear?
Made it out the fog, still standing, now you're here (uh uh)
Lookin' back you was bringing up the rear
See those bullies who you feared
At best are just your peers
And at worst? No need for going there
Got your own path, keep climbing those stairs
It's the path less traveled, now that you're aware
Hold your head high, put your chin up in the air right there
[Chorus]
Welcome to your life, welcome to this road
The path's uncharted, gotta choose where you go
On this one way show, please pay the toll
With your hands on your wheel, gotta maintain control
Welcome to your life, welcome to this road
The path's just started, gotta choose where to go
On this one way show, relax, take it slow
(it's the return of the drifter)
Welcome to your life, welcome to this road
The path's uncharted, gotta choose where you go
Welcome to your life, welcome to this road
The path's just started, gotta choose where to go
(high plains drifter)
(return) to your life

Back To Me
03:30

Another play at the game where I'm killing these scores
On this mic for a while, but I'm feeling reborn
A few years in rap - in fact, add a few more
My memories of life before the start of Dual Core
Brain always carrying a rhyme
Try to get my skills up, battled all the time
At the Reebok tournament, winning first prize
Back when the Wiz was 100.9
Growing towards closure, exposure to the sound
Scribble Jam every year, scoping from the crowd
Snapping at these tracks when I open up my mouth
Developing my freestyle, know what it's about
Trolling other rappers, I was such a misfit
Science in my writing feeling so analytic
Verses in the circles, people didn't git it
I thought it was a cipher, guess I'm too cryptic
First class, hoping that I pass
Priority delivery, settling the stats
Returning it true cause you know it's overdue
Still looking back at the path going through
This is, first class, knowing that I'll pass
Priority delivery, settling the stats
Returning it to true cause I know it's overdue
Knew it through and through
Engage life, turned another page, right
Wednesday nights when i'd battle for the stage
Fright, put anxiety away
Went from being introverted to inspired when I play
My first show at Top Cats, staring at the crowd
The music we developed, now they're sharing in the sound
Getting big in the city, growing out of bounds
Evansville, Columbus, I'm going out of town
Didn't know to get around, find a better way
Getting tips from other artists so I'm learning every day
Blueprint and Dibbs really helped me find a balance
Impressed by the best, Midwest full of talent
In fact, still deposit in the track
If I thought it's up for grabs then I wouldn't give it back
Got a hold on the feeling, take control of the healing
Filling holes in my soul while I grow through the ceiling
First class, hoping that I pass
Priority delivery, settling the stats
Returning it true cause you know it's overdue
Still looking back at the path going through
This is, first class, knowing that I'll pass
Priority delivery, settling the stats
Returning it to true cause I know it's overdue
Knew it through and through
Back to me now, so the flow make it abstract
Memories shine in the glow of a flashback
Went from making something that I thought would get us laughed at
To outshining every other Cincinnati rap act
Still proving, not afraid of losing
Stored in my core feel the war still brooding
Underneath the hood, though, my brain's probably fuming
Only show it on the stage so I'm so unassuming
Plus human, and if I'm being fair
When we're counting up mistakes
Then I know I've made my share
Cause life's no guide, and it's no smooth ride
Swallow jealousy, envy, arrogance and pride
Put the pride in my work, the other ones aside
Cause life's too short and I'm running out of time
Proud of having fun while I rock it for the crowd
The music made it back, back to me now
First class, hoping that I pass
Priority delivery, settling the stats
Returning it true cause you know it's overdue
Still looking back at the path going through
This is, first class, knowing that I'll pass
Priority delivery, settling the stats
Returning it to true cause I know it's overdue
Knew it through and through
We take it forward then back, forward then back
The internet claps while they torrent this track
Forward then back, forward then back
Beyond all my dreams doing more in this rap
Take it forward then back, forward then back
The internet claps while they torrent this track
Forward, back, forward, back, forward, back
Sure to make a splash, first class

Fear & Chaos
04:57
|

Bring it on if you think you can hang
Prudent to the new school we're moving through the change
Thinking what we bring things will never be the same
Retire all your firewalls, extinguishing the flames
Best chill, the exfil is massive
Laughing at their actions while they're grasping for their hashes
No salts not the recommended practice
My rainbow table's major there's no need for cracking passes
New octet, i'm diving in head first
My code to go in post keeps me silent on your network
Botnet new node, yet another casualty
My beacon interval doesn't happen systematically
Pass the hash laterally, what happened to me?
I trojaned all the firmware to backups and your battery
Responders won't find me, i'll let the scare settle
I'm one ring away from the sting of bare metal
First place when I'm claiming my prize
Fear and Chaos, man, when I open my eyes
Waves of attacks and we're turning the tide
I see your Fear and Chaos when I open my eyes
Perimeter on lock but I'm moving inside
Fear and Chaos, man, when I open my eyes
On every single drive where my code resides
I see your Fear and Chaos, man, when I open my eyes
It's the information age watch the knowledgebase grow
All these unsolved mysteries, I really need to know
Who live like this? with a box full of op codes
Locking down the top shows everywhere I drop flows
My fly words are birds in action together
The cluster algorithm uses patented feathers
Recognize the chapter of these classical measures
Now you're rocking on the passage with extravagant leisure
I'm all tactical efforts on a savage adventure
Along with Magical Trevor combined with Radical Edward
The flow composition with the mic in my hand
I got the zero day pivot point Gannon implant
The triforce hype sort dwindling your life store
Synthesize an antigen injecting on your mic cord
In short, my wiretaps are feared
It's the man in the middle still kicking in your ears, clear
First place when I'm claiming my prize
Fear and Chaos, man, when I open my eyes
Waves of attacks and we're turning the tide
I see your Fear and Chaos when I open my eyes
Perimeter on lock but I'm moving inside
Fear and Chaos, man, when I open my eyes
On every single drive where my code resides
I see your Fear and Chaos, man, when I open my eyes
It goes Fear, CHAOS
Fear, CHAOS
Fear, CHAOS
Say you're not afraid of
Fear, CHAOS
Fear, CHAOS
Fear, CHAOS
Ready for the take off
Fear, CHAOS
Fear, CHAOS
Fear, CHAOS
Say you're not afraid of
Fear, CHAOS
Fear, CHAOS
Fear, CHAOS
Ready for the take off
It goes Fear, Chaos, fighting for the same spot
Coded up the payload, praying for the payoff
Silence on the wire so it's time to get my game on
Feeling brainwashed, sitting in my day job, Okay Boss
ISO Radon, fights in this hype storm
My tactics will adapt like a biohazard lifeform
Better forfeit, leveraging the core quick
So unknown, overflowin', code metamorphic
Engines for days, for heaps got better sprays
Hope anti-forensics keeps the feds away
Overclock, liquid minimize the resistance
But leak a little bit of bits flipped to maintain
Cover distance with vision in the pistons
If it gets decrypted it'll end with bang bang
Password reuse? Better think quickly
The name on the data claims the leaks to the wiki
First place when I'm claiming my prize
Fear and Chaos, man, when I open my eyes
Waves of attacks and we're turning the tide
I see your Fear and Chaos when I open my eyes
Perimeter on lock but I'm moving inside
Fear and Chaos, man, when I open my eyes
On every single drive where my code resides
I see your Fear and Chaos, man, when I open my eyes wide

Hear Them Talking
04:55
|
|||
Yo, I hear them talking
Yo, I hear them talking
Things are quiet now, it was making me insane
Do my best with the details, forget about my name
It was chance, I'm no man to be admired
I just took a stance, wouldn't say I was inspired
Kept to myself in every situation prior
Used to work with computers but was forced to retire
Fled my homeland in a swift act of bravery
For now, we'll say the full story is escaping me
Either way it came to be
Caught a plane to the states free, so it's plain to see
I don't need attention, I try to be neighborly
But this guy across the hall is making it hard
I hear dishes being broken, doors being slammed
The screams carry through the walls, the echoes expand
His wife and her son, and that half of a man
Then there's me, feeling powerless, creating a plan
Yo, I hear them talking
The voice in my head, is saying use caution
These walls are too thin, they leave me no option
Now I hear them yelling
Fend for themselves, well there's no telling
God help us, maybe I can help them
One day in the hallway, here's where the story's from
In a zone, sitting all alone is the son
A look of hope from the code that he talks about
I could tell that he knows that he's found his way out
We spent months online showing all the tricks I knew
From SQL injection to overflows and roots
And exploit development, encrypted tunnels too
The kid was a natural, he knew just what to do
The student passed the teacher, admiring his hacks
Formed a common bond, he confided in our chats
He told me he would run if he had no other way
And that he got hit for anything, even bad grades
So he stayed, he endured things people shouldn't
Stayed safe in his brain with his bones beaten crooked
No idea how he took it, and he just played along
I'll always remember, their son's name was John
Yo, I hear them talking
The voice in my head, is saying use caution
These walls are too thin, they leave me no option
Now I hear them screaming
Continued in the morning what had started in the evening
Everybody trapped, meaning nobody's leaving
Now, on that day, there's no return from school
Turn the TV on and there's John on the news
He and two friends got caught up in their haste
To attack the school's database and get grades replaced
John's friends took their sentence from the state
But the judge thought he was lenient in giving John his fate
They gave him house arrest in the verdict that was published
But John was well aware of the extent that he'd be punished
His parents took custody, basically a curse
After that he disappeared, had me fearing for the worst
The father was the suspect, convicted in the end
Saddened and assumed we'd never hear of John again
Months turned to years and the odds grew further slim
Then yesterday I got a note, I knew it was from him
The normal stack of mail but this one card differed
It had two words and they said: Thanks Viktor
Yo, I hear them talking
The voice in my head is saying use caution
These walls are too thin, they leave me no option
Now I'm hearing nothing
The burden of the silence and the memories it summons
Another satellite liberated by a Russian
If you ever ask why
If you never say die
Please let me see you put your fist up
When determined not to give up
I gotta make them proud
Out when I'm waving to the crowd
Let me hear you say it now
Please let me see you put your fist up
Always farewell when determined not to give up

Staring at the Last Star
05:08
|

Never thought we'd have a song like this
Like this, OK
The other comforter, everytime I went to sleep
It's too bad that we had to end the dream
It doesn't mean that it was never meant to be
It just seems that we grew apart eventually
And if it turns out your the best I'll ever see
I'm thankful for the time in my prime you spent with me
The last thing I want is to overwrite the memories
I know we aren't friends it doesn't mean that we're enemies
Still getting used to the lack of your presence
I know we'll pull through but we'll have to do it seperate
No more bad jokes or "Would You Rather" questions
Feels so weird without you finishing my sentence
Almost ask if you're ready heading down
The house answered back with the emptiest of sounds
Go to share a song: You gotta listen to the sound
Turn around and show you, you're nowhere to be found
Never thought we'd have a song like this
Had our lives then we add a little twist
Things are different, have been ever since
Gone but not forgotten, I still reminisce
Miss your laugh and that wonderful way
That beautiful smile like a warm summer day
Live the past over something you would say
There's no going back 'cause I had to run away
Gotta say that it feels a little strange
Writing for reflection, not out to make a change
Never meant for you to suffer any strain
Intentions are forgiven, I dismissed them with the blame
Scared to admit it, but we both could see the truth
And even though I'm still conflicted, take this song as proof
Drive across the States just to get away from you
That's two on the list of things I never wanna do
Had a full forty hours of just staring at my dashboard
Remembering with fondness, I'm only feeling half-torn
Memories of every last stamp in our passports
Feeling some regret 'cause I'm wishing that they matched more
People ask more, why I hold the past for
Overtime, can't rewind, flying towards that fast forward
Life's moving quick so I'm learning from this crash course
Speeding by, reaching high for that last score
Never thought we'd have a song like this
Had our lives then we add a little twist
Things are different, have been ever since
Gone but not forgotten, I still reminisce
Miss your laugh and that wonderful way
That beautiful smile like a warm summer day
Live the past over something you would say
There's no going back 'cause I had to run away
Never thought we'd have a song like this
Had our lives then we add a little twist
Things are different, have been ever since
Gone but not forgotten, I still reminisce, Like this
Miss your laugh and that wonderful way
That beautiful smile like a warm summer day
Live the past over something you would say
So want you back 'cause I love you anyway, Like- like
Love you anyway, Like this
Love you anyway, love you anyway
Love you anyway, love you anyway
Love you anyway, love you anyway, Like this
Everytime I look back along the path
Of the last seven years I see our two sets of tracks
Shoulder to shoulder, still we had each other's backs
Take a snapshot, let's never change the facts
Ever keen, we developed our dreams
Never mean toward each other yet we settled the steam
Beveled and engraved, this incredible scene
Indelible, we made a hell of a team
Together we were clever facing challenges and fears
Looking at each other, now your face is filled with tears
The vision is persistent, keeping you endeared
Staring at that door, half-expecting you'll appear
The thought of us hurt too much to keep it near
So this distance between us compares to light years
It's the same atmosphere, still hear it in my ears
I'm coming back home to you except now you're never here
There I was, frozen, standing in my backyard
Face to face, eye to eye, staring at the last star
There I was, frozen, standing in my backyard
Face to face, eye to eye, staring at the last star, Like this
Never thought we'd have a song like this
Had our lives then we add a little twist
Things are different, have been ever since
Gone but not forgotten, I still reminisce, Like this
Miss your laugh and that wonderful way
That beautiful smile like a warm summer day
Live the past over something you would say
There's no going back 'cause I had to run away, Like- Like this
Never thought we'd have a song like this
Had our lives then we add a little twist
Things are different, have been ever since
Gone but not forgotten, I still reminisce, Like this
Miss your laugh and that wonderful way
That beautiful smile like a warm summer day
Live the past over something you would say
I so want you back 'cause I love you anyway (Like-, like), love you anyway
Love you anyway, (Like this!) love you anyway
Love you anyway, love you anyway
Love you anyway, love you anyway
Love you anyway, (Like this!) love you anyway
Love you anyway, love you anyway
Love you anyway, love you anyway
Love you anyway, love you anyway
Love you anyway, (Like this!) love you anyway
Love you anyway, (Like) love you anyway

[Verse 1: Remington Forbes]
It was all a dream, as a teen I had ambitions to MC
But the transition wasn't as simple as it seems
To turn your life story into the simplest of things
Intimate themes made for interesting sixteens
And I was fifteen when I heard Rhyme Goes On
By Eric B and Rakim, my mind grew numb
I was in awe at how Rakim linked words
His cadence, his pattern of speech, the beats merged
And right then, something from within emerged
Became TriloGGG and that's when life deterred
I mean detoured, to take a path less traveled
Bumpy roads ahead but I rose above the frazzle
Way more gravel than the smooth road to college
And fakes rose up like Manute Bol to block it
But if it didn't work out, other doors would open
Was intrigued with tech since my first Commodore was open
Since Matthew Broderick war dialed with the modem
I knew somehow that it would come back around
But right now I'm flowing, began Club Ghetto
Cincinnati's open off the song Heavy Metal
Put us on your schedule, pencil us in
Did show after show, released Livin' 'n Cin
Took the city by storm
But eventually the reign/rain ended
And that's when Remy was born
Took my passion for rapping and hacking computers
Mashed them both together and made my past my future
Now that I'm here it's clear my story's just begun
I first guest appeared on the album Zero One
[Verse 2: int eighty]
It was summer '97 when it started coming down
Went from treading in the mainstream to floating underground
Loved the beats and sounds, never guessed I'd rap to them
Then Canibus snatched crowns with heads attach to them
That line made me question with battle rap intentions
The vision had been shifted it was different not to mention
I was still disconnected, looking at the trend
Traded Bone Thugs N Harmony for Common with my friend
Finally in '99 we found some other rappers
I was downloading Pharoahe Monch from everyone on Napster
Hi-Tek and Mood new exposure growing faster
Mr. Dibbs held it down along with Animal Crackers
It was Blueprint and Sage, tag them, add them to the factor
Of memories before but you hear them in the after
The music made emotions that these words could never capture
My backyard was Scribble Jam, start another chapter
Ruckus Man, Otherwise, ADM, and Prime
RhymeFest and Juice had me losing my mind
Never seen such passion, Brother Ali was a beast
Eyedea and Unseen, may you both rest in peace
Rewind Jedi Mind had the Heavenly Divine
Non-Phixion, Black Helicopters in the sky
Then they suggest my geography expanded
The Heavy Hitters disc was a whole other planet
It's funny looking back how I changed from year to year
Still hip hop was constant, I held it near and dear
J-Live's wit had me grinning ear to ear
But I never would have known, owe it all to peer-to-peer
When my AudioGalaxy was showing my the stars
Windows rolled down, freestyling in my car
Consistently at house parties rhyming every bar
Rocking Masters of the Universe by Binary Star
[Verse 3: Blueprint]
Through the trials and the triumphs, the balance is kept
So while one man work hard, another man slept
I, took a look off the edge of the ledge
Then a quick sec to hedge all my bets then lept, huh
Told myself to expect disappointment
Cause my corporate experience at best was a disjointed mess
Of old spaghetti code, low man on a totem pole
Wanted to leave but I was typecast with petty roles
Five years, no va-cay they had me by my balls
My cubicle was like a cell with reinforced walls
Did demos while working on support calls
Woke up my inner rebel, all he needed was a cause
Started saving up my paper to reduce the risk
Went out on my first tour then I called it quits
Less dough but more happy than I've ever been
A full-time artist, and haven't looked back since

Dangerous Ways
05:34
|

Seven seas, four billion IPs
Platoons full of soldiers identical to me
I can chop at the root, like the base of life's tree
Try to drop but they shoot, fire shots at high speed
Some like it hot, now they're screaming WHY ME
Tie the knot, you're engaged to this future like me
This is more than foreign war, we're assured to die free
Hordin' for another tour, not the kind you sight-see
Type keys, clear the channel history
I speak, condition anonymity
Wide screens, projecting all the imagery
Behind these high beams to display the setting visibly
Cold in this winter see the steam from when I breathe
Agents of these ministries lock us in this freeze
The fight rages on while the victims mourn and grieve
The internet's the battlefield, believe we're under siege
This is hostile, never backing down
Scorched earth policies, I'm standing my ground
Remember and respect to the message we're bound
The path is so dangerous to find a way around
This is hostile, we're never backing down
Facing scorched earth policies we're standing our ground
Never will forget to the message we're bound
The path is too dangerous to find a way around
There's a war going on outside no man is safe from
The cyber frontier for this planet where our fates run
Resort to back and forth, give and then I'll take some
Of course we'd apply our mindset to this creation
Authenticate -- past it, crypto -- cracked it
Teams take city infrastructures down for practice
Sure you're secure and nobody can hack this
The reason they typecast white hat tactics
Threat is in and out, both sides of the costa
Running out of time so we've gotta make the most of
Get a close-up, don't want to get your hope up
See the crash when they tried to pass SOPA, NOPE-UH
Sheer and total chaos, the progress we'll unset
You think that you want some feel free to come get
Open up your eyes looking for the next Stuxnet
The code's already there, we just haven't let it run yet
This is hostile, never backing down
Scorched earth policies, I'm standing my ground
Remember and respect to the message we're bound
The path is so dangerous to find a way around
This is hostile, we're never backing down
Facing scorched earth policies we're standing our ground
Never will forget to the message we're bound
The path is too dangerous to find a way around
Time for an update: situation critical
It's real world war much more than individuals
Created a connection from virtual to physical
Then torched that bridge and pissed on the residuals
These are armies, not just introverted smart kids
Fighting for the future leave your smart grid hard hit
Life supports powered down, flat line darkness
Power to the people, not enough to make a heart skip
Country offline after striking with a core hit
The off-switch op-shin (option) of nuking it from orbit
Think they've had enough, well we're sending even more bits
With no way to tell even if they try to forfeit
Buffers overflow like a mushroom cloud
Climbing into high mem, the heaps spraying down
The ports and the hatches -- batten them down
You think this is fiction? It's happening now
This is hostile, never backing down
Scorched earth policies, I'm standing my ground
Remember and respect to the message we're bound
The path is so dangerous to find a way around
This is hostile, we're never backing down
Facing scorched earth policies we're standing our ground
Never will forget to the message we're bound
The path is too dangerous to find a way around
Me and Six Four, we kinda the same in ways
We both speak with our hands in dangerous ways
Me and Six Four, we kinda the same in ways
We both speak with our hands in dangerous ways

The One (ft. Tribe One)

[Verse 1: int eighty, (Tribe One)]
It's the fight at the end for every short-term celebrity
Plan it ahead of me, I stand in longevity
Grasping my death, lacking any cause to fear it
Extracting my spirit, (Last breath spit a lyric)
Faced with the jargon when I aim for the target
Just to live past a body that was based on this Carbon
Begging your pardon, there's no telling whats next
Replacing the argument dispelling success
There's no need to be obedient deceiving each receiving it
Deleting these ingredients in speeding to the median
Exceeding the belief we live as seemingly defeated bids
Relieving the conceited cheating easily repeating spins
(Game time short of) finishing our run
(Hastily record up) everything we've done
Stage dive through the portal, I've had enough fun
Make me immortal there can only be one
[Chorus: Tribe One, int eighty]
Span the horizon of endless possibility
It's crazy how this life force is killing me
I wanna live forever, explore the asymmetry
From twenty aught three til infinity
Span the horizon of endless possibility
It's crazy how this life force is killing me
I wanna live forever, explore the asymmetry
From twenty aught three til infinity
[Verse 2: Tribe One, (int eighty)]
If you're listening to this song after I'm gone
Then let it stand as a record of how I lived my life
But if I'm still here you better be rapping along
Cause me and eighty are proof lightning will strike twice
Said I was intelligent but had my head in the clouds
For every second of the decades I developed this sound
But when my time came (a hush fell on the crowd)
Forget about doubt, it's either never or now
This is where we separate the movers and the shakers
From the losers and the haters the consumers from creators
(The truest from the traitors)
And we few who remain will use the music
To the tune the future in our favor
So Tribe One, int eighty, and c64
Are a sign of things greater than previous norms
In a time when invaders were greedy for more
We decided to innovate and speak from the core
[Chorus: int eighty, Tribe One]
Span the horizon of endless possibility
It's crazy how this life force is killing me
I wanna live forever, explore the asymmetry
From twenty aught three til infinity
Span the horizon of endless possibility
It's crazy how this life force is killing me
I wanna live forever, explore the asymmetry
From twenty aught three til infinity
[Verse 3: Tribe One, (int eighty)]
Every night I'm on the grind til the sunlight shines
To find a way to fit forever into one lifetime
Like-minded individuals see the kind of difficulties
That arise when fighting mythical beasts
I guess that I've accepted I'll eventually die
(So every breath is an effort) to keep the legend alive
Walk the earth, every step move my head to the sky
(And this is just a little something) to remember me by
(Battle demons of the underworld), lords of every myth
(Clash with the titans, drink dry the river Styx)
(Burn scribes of every script leaving legends ill-equipped)
(My soul to the archives) so you can get the gist
(Flash and re-encrypt then embed it in your post)
(Regardless of the media just share it coast to coast)
(Send the stream throughout the universe on every telescope)
Signal satellites and tell 'em (how this one fought for hope)
[Chorus: int eighty]
Span the horizon of endless possibility
It's crazy how this life force is killing me
I wanna live forever, explore the asymmetry
From twenty aught three til infinity
Span the horizon of endless possibility
It's crazy how this life force is killing me
I wanna live forever, explore the asymmetry
From twenty aught three til infinity, you feeling me
[Outro: Tribe One]
Every night I'm on the grind
Every night I'm on the grind
Til the sunlight shines
Sunlight shines
To find a way light shines
Every night I'm on the grind til the sunlight shines
...to fit forever into one lifetime

Trials in this life whether calm or disaster
Sadness and the laughter beginning through the after
Turn the page, then we start another chapter
She said, as the car drove away
Tail lights vanished in the glow of the day
Coping with the change all alone in their estate
Sent their daughter off to college now they're so old and gray
Don't know what to do with this time they've been given
Started a foundation technology for children
They want to change the world, make it better, make it different
{Farewell}
On the run like he's super slick
A fugitive who knew the tricks removing every clue they skip
Moving quick, hoping they don't shoot him with
A lie tranquilized that they get him to maneuver in
Started with his knowledge and a proof to make it lucrative
Prison's not a future for an innocent computer whiz
Bounced underground, finally made it out the sewers then
{Farewell}
Farewell if you ever ask why
Farewell, tell if you never say die
Farewell, please let me see you put your fist up
Always fare well when determined not to give up
Farewell now I gotta make them proud
Farewell, out when I'm waving to the crowd
Farewell let me hear you say it now
{Farewell}
Conversation stops when their moniker is mentioned
An undetected presence on the internet they leverage
So much potential they change it to kinetic
Connected, relentless, no interest in a penance
They're just, bent on a method for their vengeance
Prevalent with messages, know how to make an entrance
Identities unknown, citations need a reference
Bet you'll get it with this very next sentence
Not forgiven not forgotten but they're certainly expected
{Farewell}
Factor mathematics then it's all a game of averages
Coding, overflowing, still invoking what their passion is
Get a hacker kid and match him with an activist
Pad it with an additive for automatic catalyst
The fact that it exists isn't actually the saddest bit
Scale across the planet understanding what the fraction is
Instantly mobilized and suited up for battle quick
{Farewell}
Farewell if you ever ask why
Farewell, tell if you never say die
Farewell, please let me see you put your fist up
Always fair well when determined not to give up
Farewell now I gotta make them proud
Farewell, out when I'm waving to the crowd
Farewell let me hear you say it now
{Farewell}
Control's coming loose, cause and effect
Know when to choose, pause let it set
Show me the proof, call for the best
Moment of truth, go again
Control's coming loose, cause and effect
Know when to choose, pause let it set
Show me the proof, call for the best
Moment of truth, and it's all that you get
Trials in this life whether calm or disaster
Sadness and the laughter beginning through the after
Turn the page, then we finish out the chapter
{Farewell}
He's the leader of these vagrants
No debate, bringing faith to the faithless
Federal agents, mad 'cause they're flagrant
They hacked all the taps that were placed in the basement
Delivering a way to save the internet they're faced with
And an atmospheric network they're launching with a spaceship
Funded with the money that they stole from a foundation
{Farewell}
Not what he meant from his steady trend of envious
Foundation's bankrupt, the couple died penniless
The darkest of surprise, the startle in their eyes
The project that they started was the heart of their demise
Now they lay in a coffin made of rotted wood
So altruistic, they meant to do a lot of good
The world did change, but not how they thought it would
{Farewell}
Farewell if you ever ask why
Farewell, tell if you never say die
Farewell, please let me see you put your fist up
Always fair well when determined not to give up
Farewell now I gotta make them proud
Farewell, out when I'm waving to the crowd
Farewell let me hear you say it now
{Farewell}

[Chorus]
Yeah
Why they still alive? I don't know, go figure
Ain't no time for hesitation
They come ar-
They come around
Why they still alive?
Why they still alive? I don't know, go figure
They come around but they never come close to
[Verse 1: int eighty]
I got 26 plans but we'll start with the A game
Injecting different methods to your brainwaves mainframe
Like: Yo Dawg, Inception is profound
We heard you like rap, we came back with a better sound
Kids making noise, we make waves they wouldn't fathom
They micromanage while we split the atom
Prime factors, design patterns
Turning fission into fusion, everyone rewind it backwards
File captured, we just invite rappers
So we can kill the ratios on all the private trackers
Upload the utmost P2P cutthroats
Uh oh, we didn't allocate enough floats
Have an upboat!
This isn't a crash by fast learners
This is Asperger's Rap Murder, Dual Core and Backburner
Call us callous, but you don't have to act sore
We spit 'em a bit of the rhythm and finish 'em, giving 'em what they ask for
[Verse 2: More or Les]
I can see it inside your face - you wanna
Download this shit for free, and that's great but
Don't be a jerk 'bout it, get merch and mirth out us
At shows, for sho' tout it at foes in your status
Updates. For fuck sakes, educate who don't know 'bout the
Flava, takes up sixth-eigthths of your disk space
And requires a processor - core dual. More
Pseudo than a Breaking Bad ep, are tracks you're used to hearing
Out rappers' mouth. That accounts for more poodle puddles
Than Top Dog - not raw. You're crew gets scuttled
Along with ya yacht. We are not amigos - you're
Style's out of phase like a chroniton torpedo
Face a year of hell in Krenim space with a Kremlin taste
Venom mace: Turn your Popple look into a Gremlin face
Pourin water all over this shit. Now watch us
Multiply and take over your town in a jiff
[Chorus]
Yeah
Why they still alive? I don't know, go figure
Ain't no time for hesitation
They come ar-
They come around
Why they still alive?
Why they still alive? I don't know, go figure
They come around but they never come close to
[Verse 3: Ghettosocks]
If you saying I'm the best then you stating the obvious
Vacate, change lanes, make way, I'm bombing them
Knock the ball out the park and wave to the audience
You in the crowd trying to start a wave in the audience
So confident, spent the day up in Parliament
The right say I'm Fascist, the left say I'm Communist
Roll through the hood in PJs made by Nautico
While wrapped in the yoga mat your babe does Pilates on
Nah we don't talk the same like a homonym
Spielberg and Shyamalan stay at my momma's crib
Want me in they movies, way to get the dollars in
I said: Will it's ok, your son can play the Karate Kid
Million miles translate to kilometers
I be to rap what skateboard to ollie is
My crew be to dope what heatwave's to thermometers
And bitch be to you what Janeway to Romulans
[Verse 4: Timbuktu]
Tall, drunk, and handsome. Loaded like banana clips
Fan of Bruce Banner with my man Al Yankovic, I
Be the Sampras, serving any candidates
The human cannonball and no you can't predict the damages
Man or myth, got those panties in a twist
Crack a mind and live in Athens one thought from the monologue I'm ominous
Don't want to rock your sarcophagus
Scoop a top model then I throttle your metropolis
Sip a bottomless cup, some Madonna shit
Part the Red Sea so that we could see a nautilus
The cephalopod left in the mosh pit
Leprechauns getting stepped on by the big kid
To the break a- break a- dawn
We stomp jams like giants
Tyrants apply science, our rhymes are like violence, I'm
Straight wildin' at dark on Rose Island
The viral rap mogul that got you flow riding

[Verse 1: int eighty]
Only seconds to the day to year before I leave
And every breath that I take is one less that I breathe
Sometimes I can't help but to feel fatigued
Statistically though I spend a third of it asleep
Headlights from the car quick
Flashes of bright like the sparks in the darkness
What I see makes my heart skip
Stomach upset, pull over I'm feeling car sick
Ok, finally got it out the way
The release feel at ease, unpause and press play
B A up down left right
Starting to Select my adventure for this life
Choose to equip and escape than rather fight
Shooting infrared arrays to switch the traffic light
No question, didn't even look in a hacker's direction
As I ran the intersection
[Chorus]
Whether Empire State or the great Golden Gate
Please let them know that there's no time to waste
Return or Strike Back, you gotta duel with your fates
You gotta let it out, there's no time to waste
Broadcasting now to all time and space
Achieve and we show that there's no time to waste
The cool Dual Core in the place with Dale Chase
Please let me hear you shout: There's no time to waste
[Verse 2: Dale Chase]
Ain't made a beat in awhile, neither then a lyric
Was all about the audio, wasn't trying to hear it
Seated in the Herman Miller got to capture the mood
Turning waves into bits and hit my head room
Want a bigger partition, the OS stops and said, I
Dream too lofty and straight sandboxed me
And it's so hot swap, it's nothing to replace me
Talking reformat but you can't erase me
Out the revolving door was a nice stint
Let me sit and write a song, wrote a full-length
Feeling less like a viewer over VNC
Inspired by a channel and the world's Audacity
Now I keep a bookmark of what gets me amped
Beats stay spilling til I hit my timestamp
When life's like a PC you pick your parts
Follow your heart, 'cause with friction comes sparks
[Chorus]
Whether Empire State or the great Golden Gate
Please let them know that there's no time to waste
Return or Strike Back, you gotta duel with your fates
You gotta let it out, there's no time to waste
Broadcasting now to all time and space
Achieve and we show that there's no time to waste
The cool Dual Core in the place with Dale Chase
Please let me hear you shout: There's no time to waste
[Verse 3: int eighty]
I've got a life full of living. Every second vintage
Blink when you think then it's gone in an instant
So mitosis the catalyst drives
Open eyes and I see my time passing me by
All these self-signed certs, what a sign of the time
They don't validate, they just sign on the line
Rhyming in a silence in the prime of my life
In Deloreans, roll back the '985
To the future, everybody looking for the proof of
The next generation, evasive maneuvers
Beam me up, phasers and the space bombs
First mate gone set my hands for the face palm
What's your take on? Hey we want to know
Only deal with the realness, 1s and 0s
Advice for this life in sickness and health
The breakpoint's one shot live it yourself while giving it hell
[Chorus]
Whether Empire State or the great Golden Gate
Please let them know that there's no time to waste
Return or Strike Back, you gotta duel with your fates
You gotta let it out, there's no time to waste
Broadcasting now to all time and space
Achieve and we show that there's no time to waste
The cool Dual Core in the place with Dale Chase
Please let me hear you shout: There's no time to waste

[Intro: int eighty]
This one's dedicated to all the hackers
[Verse 1: int eighty]
Even out settle scores quick
Our disaster recovery requires even more disks
Put your bytes up, prove it or you forfeit
Got my C64 and we blew it into orbit
M. Bison with eight straight perfects
Overvolt emotions make hate break circuits
In case you heard, it's a named fake service
Optimize our runtime to escape verdicts
Got an integer scope flow
That they can't sign
Passing code, didn't sanitize
Command lines; land mine
So before, they'll see me after
I'm Advice dog
Courage Wolf
Plus Philosoraptor
Don't prove we're human unless we really hafta
My team built schemes that destroyed recaptcha
Hate what they see, finish this chapter
By the way we're not any geeks, we hack into NASA
[Chorus]
Drink all the booze
Hack all the things
Drink all the booze
Hack all the things
Drink all the booze
Hack all the things
Got this Vodka and this Redbull
They still give me wings
So we drink all the booze
Hack all the things
Drink all the booze
Hack all the things
Drink all the booze
Hack all the things
Zero through Three
We're in every single ring
[Verse 2: int eighty]
I'm just waiting 'til my Blackberry dies
Cause I'll replace it with a Raspberry Pi
Don't compare to this track
It makes everything they said dull
Neutralize any threat
Turn Red skull to dev null
They killed virus writers that we mentioned
But instead they ascended to the VXHeavens
Then reincarnate as live wires
Still inside we hide ciphers in signed device drivers
Which school will we hit next?
They didn't learn the format
So we've gotta print F
Next step is a chin check
Freestyles that I spit best
They didn't decrypt yet
I crush internet MCs in rhyme battles
Get your WiFi tackled
Hak5 Pineapple
I don't think you'll like my Snapple
Cause I popped it with vodka
And a cyanide capsule
[Chorus]
We drink all the booze
Hack all the things
Drink all the booze
Hack all the things
Drink all the booze
Hack all the things
Got this Vodka and this Redbull
They still give me wings
So we drink all the booze
Hack all the things
Drink all the booze
Hack all the things
Drink all the booze
Hack all the things
(You know there's going to be security, right?)
[Verse 3: int eighty]
First we drink all the booze
Then hack all the things
Then backdoor the firmware
On anything you bring
Regardless of the hardware, service, or encoding
Connect it to the internet
And someone's gonna own it
This is for the pirates who clap
And love the sound
Attacking from the cloud
Then we're back and underground
There's no masking from us now
We pop Tor nodes around the globe
Track and hunt you down
Hacked on schedule, added to your calendar
Devices online; here comes another challenger
State infiltrated, so undercover
This is for my comrades who stare at their debuggers
And trace every buffer
Examining the code flow
Haven't been to sleep? Better pop another No-Doz
I think I'll need a planet sized urn
'Cause some men just wanna see the world burn
Your turn
[Chorus]
Drink all the booze
Hack all the things
Drink all the booze
Hack all the things
Drink all the booze
Hack all the things
Got this Vodka and this Redbull
They still give me wings
So we drink all the booze
Hack all the things
Drink all the booze
Hack all the things
Drink all the booze
Hack all the things
Zero through three
We're in every single ring

Last Writes

Pick it up from the start or we've nowhere to go
Quick with the rhythm ain't no taking it slow
Got a need that I feed now by hitting the road
And I'm living every minute of it ripping at shows
They made it addictive flipping this music
Had a dream now I'm in it but considered it lucid
Out with the jury so inconclusive
I could quit it if I wanted but there's no way to prove it
Lights in my eyes never shunning the glare
A game full of rappers and I'm loving the players
Staring at the crowd and with sudden aware
With a sea full of bodies, fists pumping the air
Where I want to be when my heart quits popping
Put me in the DJ's turntable coffin
Made to feel invincible, no one's gonna stop it
The beat's in the speakers, so we're gonna rock it
On my last writes, last writes
So don't ask why, ask why
Time will pass by, pass by
For this fast life, fast life
It goes back and forth and back and forth
Back and forth, bring it back from the source
It goes up and down and up and down
Up and down, so much love for this sound
So much love for this sound
Got a handful of passion, some of the talent
Fighting all my life just to try to find a balance
Now I'm touring out and pouring out my heart by the gallon
Given that I'm winning, say I'm up for the challenge
Life split in half, looked at the map
Tell me when to go now there's no looking back
Doing everything I thought I couldn't with rap
If I showed you the results then you wouldn't have laughed
To the front of the queue like I'm pushing the stack
So quick when I move that they couldn't react
Got Six Four you're overlooking the facts
Give him any criticism and I'm pushing it back
What I need is a feed when he's cooking up tracks
I complete with a lead in and we're hooking up raps
They download our warez like they took it in packs
But we'll never be a kickstart you shouldn't have backed
For my last writes, last writes
So don't ask why, ask why
Time will pass by, pass by
For this fast life, fast life
It goes back and forth and back and forth
Back and forth, bring it back from the source
It goes up and down and up and down
Up and down, so much love for this sound
So much love for this sound
Step to the mic everything is a hush
Get the crowd going now we're ready to crush
Prime state of mind no one ever could touch
Enter in adrenaline I'm feeling the rush
This moment in time now I wish I could freeze
Nowhere else on the planet for me ever to be
Exposed to the growth when I planted the seed
This is living I've been given everything that I need
See to believe it, dream and achieve it
Every time I flow share a piece of the secret
Let it go so I know with the hope that I keep it
Can't imagine what would happen if I ever tried to leave it
The best of the rest of my life on the stage
Or in between shows writing tracks on the page
The man Six Four added fuel to the flame
So I give it all I got, Dual Core is the name
For my last writes, last writes
So don't ask why, ask why
Time will pass by, pass by
For this fast life, fast life
It goes back and forth and back and forth
Back and forth, bring it back from the source
It goes up and down and up and down
Up and down, so much love for this sound
So much love for this sound
Back and forth and back and forth
Back and forth, bring it back from the source
It goes
Up and down and up and down
Up and down, so much love for this sound
