For Real

This one's for my MCs and real rap fans
The true heart of hip hop that still clap hands
Who go to the shows, feel the notes in their soul
And listen to the wordplay enclosed in the flow
Inscribe all the thoughts that they captured dreaming
Spitting life into verses, giving words meaning
The freestyle began, my intro to rap
Making lines rhyme to the beat in a flash
Other artists bragged to the bills in their stash
But I had a student loan couldn't talk about the cash
Plus they had rims they would roll in the street
The first car I bought was almost older than me
I wrote like a pro, and spit what I know
Made a link with Six Four and I continued to grow
Imagine the surprise when our eyes identified
People shared our interests and listening with pride
Nerdcore, geeksta, whatever you may call it
Reveal the real meaning, adjective agnostic
This one's for my b-boys and skilled graf writers
The true heart of hip hop that still craft fire
All sorts of reasons to demonstrate skills for
Out on the dance floor or up on the billboard
Love the graf writers for their piecing and tagging
It gave me a reason to enjoy the train passing
Felt the inspiration and took to my flatscreen
Warez group logos I designed all in ASCII
Wild font styles, change colors faded
All the groups around, name an acronym I made it
Tagged every item in the group that had passed through
Memorized the characters, every single value
And freestyle was old if I had to tell the truth
Then I met Crazy Legs from the Rock Steady Crew
He said: Hip hop is you, it's in what you do
And it made me realize this is hip hop too
This one's for my DJs above and underground
The true heart of hip hop that handles the sound
Writers' heads nod, b-boys dance around
They fuel the MCs please don't cancel them now
All wax or digital they've gotta create
And somehow they're still out digging in the crates
Bassline for mind, use the rhythm as voice
Laptop or turntable, weapon of choice
Beat juggle, flare, techniques so sick
The scratches, the blends, and the fades on the mix
Round out the package, finish it completed
So much for you, so you see why they're needed
Think about the songs that you save and import
You'd have an incomplete playlist without Six Four
It'd be a bit short, I mean you'd need a few more
Because without the DJ there'd be no Dual Core

Beginning of the End
05:02
|

It's the beginning of the end
It's the beginning of the end
It's the beginning of the end
It's the beginning of the end
First things first you'll be seeing a trend
Start with the background it leads to the end
Another youth story it's about to unfold
But this time, this one's closer to home
Born with bad intentions or just malicious purpose
Alone and growing up almost felt I was a burden
You had a short fuse here I am a short circuit
We all have flaws and I know nobody's perfect
Trouble from the start, it shouldn't be a shocker
Glued to computers ever since I was a toddler
Tried to boot DOS on the blank screen then
Remember me stuffing floppies in our old IBM
You came home from work and reacted so quick
Floor covered with five-and-a-quarter-inch disks
Don't worry yet, the drives were never broken
Wait until I started with the phone line and modem
It's the beginning of the end
It's the beginning of the end
It's the beginning of the end
It's the beginning of the end
Now I'm online, tempted by the options
But I'm a teenager with plenty other problems
Chemical imbalance body going through the changes
Life in the questionable unset stages
My friends online they were hacking for fun
And provided acceptance, at home I had none
Inspired programmer who noticed a draw
Viruses, spammers, I coded it all
Began to make a name, everybody wants a copy
Compress it, encrypt it, and save it to a floppy
Slack space, swap, there were more crazy tricks
I was serving up warez on a 486
Kept it all a secret, none if it pronounced
Then the ISP called and suspended our account
Couldn't give it up, had to bypass restrictions
Yes there is a substance but it's different from addiction
It's the beginning of the end
It's the beginning of the end
It's the beginning of the end
It's the beginning of the end
It's not looking good
I just keep screwing up
What am I doing?
My life was a wreck, almost burned to the ground
But the case was dismissed before the verdict was found
A new person now, look I turned it around
So if I made a change you can learn to be proud
Cause you got me through to high school, it wasn't a breeze
Six years in college and I finished my degrees
Shifted to the right track, kicked it into gear
Took the skills I developed and I made it a career
Average Joe Citizen, my record is clear
Benefits and wage, pay my taxes every year
I'm sorry that the gray hair will never be undone
But at least you can now just be happy for your son
It's the beginning of the end
It's the beginning of the end
It's the beginning of the end
It's the beginning of the end

Unplug

This one
This one is for all of my programmers out there
All of the developers who push through the extra hours to meet the deadline
The security researchers who work the extra shifts on the pentest
Those that can't get away and have nothing to get away to
Signed the first line, it was just nine to five
Quickly realized it became nine to nine
Twenty-four-seven-three-sixty-five
A process that separated me from my life
Need to unplug but you're still online
And you've gotta pay the bills every month on time
Want all the hours? You can have them all, fine
This is my life, so make it all mine
It's a road to success, no shortcut for steps
Instead, it's just another long day ahead
But I've gotta do well, stand out, achieve
First person in, last one to leave
Time doesn't matter, nothing comes for free
Scattered, I'm climbing that ladder to succeeed
Factors that change, reacting with the speed
Capture that flag, I'm running with the lead
After the fact, they didn't get the message
Pushing new changes in 11th hour sessions
Eat in my cube, breathe in my cube
Log a full day, fall asleep in my cube
I'm a laborer, worker, nothing like royal
Please, my desk lamp burns midnight oil
Crush 11 hours and working 7 days
Scratching for promotions, scraping for a raise
Now you see what I'm talking about
Trust me, I feel for you. We've all been there
It's like, work is just more work
And there's no end to it
There's not even a break
Bus ride home, I'm just another commoner
Embraced every night by the glow of my monitors
Can't keep a pet like a house cat or lap dog
Only thing sitting on my couch is a laptop
No family around, no cousins or brothers
No girlfriends, no significant other
Alone all the time even when I'm not supposed to be
Alone in my apartment, shopping for groceries
Alone out in public so nobody notice me
Alone and closed out but I can talk about it openly
Tried to meet people, it's so much guesswork
Gym memberships, online social networks
Community service, or drinks with the team
The bars and the dance clubs just weren't my scene
Nothing feels right, I don't know what it means
So I'm back in the office in front of my screen
Signed the first line, it was just nine to five
Quickly realized it became nine to nine
Twenty-four-seven-three-sixty-five
A process that separated me from my life
Need to unplug but you're still online
And you've gotta pay the bills every month on time
Want all the hours? You can have them all, fine
This is my life, so make it all mine
Down to a science, the point I've almost mastered it
Such a vicious cycle, can you see the pattern yet
No free minutes when I'm always working overtime
No I go and try but my life is broke and polarized
Work more and more, it's less time to socialize
And that's just a gamble, so why try and roll the dice
Either in the office or by myself at home at night
Plus I stopped believing there's no reason keeping hope alive
Now you see there's never time face to face
Always spending hours writing queries for a database
Or code for a feature, something last-minute
Where does free time begin if work doesn't finish
Running out of time making hours want to stay
There's just 24 a day and I give them all away
This is just temporary, that's what they all say
Never gonna change, forever the same, always
Unplug, unplug, you just need to unplug
Unplug, unplug, all work and no play makes a dull boy
Unplug, unplug, we just need to unplug
Unplug, unplug, all work and no play makes a dull boy
Signed the first line, it was just nine to five
Quickly realized it became nine to nine
Twenty-four-seven-three-sixty-five
A process that separated me from my life
Need to unplug but you're still online
And you've gotta pay the bills every month on time
Want all the hours? You can have them all, fine
This is my life, so make it all mine
Signed the first line, it was just nine to five
Quickly realized it became nine to nine
Twenty-four-seven-three-sixty-five
A process that separated me from my life
Need to unplug but you're still online
And you've gotta pay the bills every month on time
Want all the hours? You can have them all, fine
This is my life, so make it all mine
Signed the first line, it was just nine to five
Quickly realized it became nine to nine
Twenty-four-seven-three-sixty-five
A process that separated me from my life
All work and no play makes a dull boy
Signed the first line, it was just nine to five
Quickly realized it became nine to nine
Twenty-four-seven-three-sixty-five
A process that separated me from my life
Need to unplug but you're still online
And you've gotta pay the bills every month on time

Hold On
04:06
|

Hold on
Hold on, we doing it better
Always cool under pressure, keep it true to the letter
Hold on, we do what we have to
Overflow, NULL pointer, coming through to crash you
It's a lightning strike that snipes without warning
A reason that gets me out of bed in the morning
It's alive, the push, motivation, and drive
It's the hunger for more, it's the will to survive
It's a passion, belief of achieving the impossible
More than ethereal, something biological
Breath in my lungs, every thought in my mind
It's my pulse and my heart beat combined vital signs
Hold on, til you get to the end
Keep what you take, never break only bend
Hold on, beat the game win a scrimage
Never let go keep a hold to the finish
Hold on, won't leave til it's final
Flat line, come back, breathe for revival
Hold on, til you have nothing left
And you make your last step or you take your last breath
Hold on, we doing it better
Always cool under pressure, keep it true to the letter
Hold on, we do what we have to
Overflow, NULL pointer, coming through to crash you
Hold on, we doing it better
Always cool under pressure, keep it true to the letter
Hold on, we do what we have to
Overflow, NULL pointer, coming through to crash you
This is energy, movement, a storm in the trees
Motion, kinetics, typhoons overseas
This Caps Lock, uppercase, shift on keys
This Dual Core music has a grip on me
This is light speed shining, it's blinding the sun
This is six different trilogies combined into one
The best of the best meets the best of the worst
And together rock tracks to the end of the verse
Hold on, til you get to the end
Keep what you take, never break only bend
Hold on, beat the game win a scrimage
Never let go keep a hold to the finish
Hold on, won't leave til it's final
Flat line, come back, breathe for revival
Hold on, til you have nothing left
And you make your last step or you take your last breath
Hold on, we doing it better
Always cool under pressure, keep it true to the letter
Hold on, we do what we have to
Overflow, NULL pointer, coming through to crash you
Hold on, we doing it better
Always cool under pressure, keep it true to the letter
Hold on, we do what we have to
Overflow, NULL pointer, coming through to crash you
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
I gotta hold on to this til it's no longer fun
As long as it's on and continues to run
Til the 404 comes back from the GET
Til my packet gets sent with the FIN bit set
Til there's no ears to hear and no mouth to flow
Til the ping's unreachable, no route to host
Til my spirit migrates and my soul flies south
And hope that it stays til my session times out
Hold on, til you get to the end
Keep what you take, never break only bend
Hold on, beat the game win a scrimage
Never let go keep a hold to the finish
Hold on, won't leave til it's final
Flat line, come back, breathe for revival
Hold on, til you have nothing left
And you make your last step or you take your last breath
Hold on, we doing it better
Always cool under pressure, keep it true to the letter
Hold on, we do what we have to
Overflow, NULL pointer, coming through to crash you
Hold on, we doing it better
Always cool under pressure, keep it true to the letter
Hold on, we do what we have to
Overflow, NULL pointer, coming through to crash you
Hold on, til you have nothing left
Hold on, til you have nothing left
And you make your last step or you take your last breath
Hold on

My GF is...
03:56
|
|||
[Verse 1: int eighty]
Completely distracted by this girl riding by
I never really look, but this one caught my eye
Heart skipped a beat, and she was gone just as soon
Shocked to see her there when I walked in the room
Cut my conversation, reduced me to silence
A girl like this sitting in Computer Science
First day of class, the room was still filling
Probably misread her schedule or had the wrong building
My girlfriend's a hacker, yup it's all there
Beautiful, funny, engineers software
And knew all the answers, she's the class hero
My chances with her had to be about zero
When we got to talking, I couldn't believe
She was so down to earth, still it felt like a dream
She is too perfect, how can it be
Thank her parents, her relatives, her whole family tree
[Method Man Sample]
Back when I was nothin', back when I was nothin'
Made a brother feel like he was somethin'
[Chorus]
My girlfriend's a hacker, best hacker ever
She's quick on her feet and her code is so clever
Yes, she's a hacker, and brilliant as well
Who knows what she cast, but I'm under her spell
My girlfriend's a hacker, best hacker ever
She's quick on her feet and her code is so clever
Yes, she's a hacker, and brilliant as well
Who knows what she cast, but I'm under her spell
[Bridge]
Did I tell you what happened the other night after 2600?
Check this out
[Verse 2: int eighty]
So I gave a talk about cross-site scripting
We're on the way home and she starts reminiscing
She liked the presentation and loved the exploits
She understood the concepts, so what's the next choice
She loads up a site with a Javascript buffer
Hacks into that, so she goes for another
No application was safe in her head
Next thing I know she's owned half of the web
And I'm terrified, but she's laughing instead
And wants to keep going 'til the other half's dead
Then the next day we were on a fast walk
Until she saw somebody on a laptop
Two minutes passed and they're looking confused
Accounts locked out, not letting them choose
Started doing hacker stuff, it was unruly
No not that, I mean like "Hackers" the movie
[Bridge]
She had all these like smiley faces all over the screen
I'm like where did you get this?
[Chorus]
My girlfriend's a hacker, best hacker ever
She's quick on her feet and her code is so clever
Yes, she's a hacker, and brilliant as well
Who knows what she cast, but I'm under her spell
My girlfriend's a hacker, best hacker ever
She's quick on her feet and her code is so clever
Yes, she's a hacker, and brilliant as well
Who knows what she cast, but I'm under her spell
[Verse 3: int eighty]
Completely amazing, we've really moved up
Creative and generous, this is too much
The birthday gift from her was no trade-off
My very own custom Counter Strike aim-bot
Perfect, accurate, and knowin' her well
She hacked it, tested, and coded herself
Head-shots galore every time that I play
And wait til you hear about Valentines Day
She posted a love note, hot like fever
At the top of each site in my RSS reader
A few winters back when it was zero degrees
She camped out over night just to get a Wii
Yes, it's the truth and we had a great time
Next morning came, numbers 1 and 2 in line
Kept one to play, and one on eBay
My girlfriend's a hacker, what can I say
[Chorus]
My girlfriend's a hacker, best hacker ever
She's quick on her feet and her code is so clever
Yes, she's a hacker, and brilliant as well
Who knows what she cast, but I'm under her spell
My girlfriend's a hacker, best hacker ever
She's quick on her feet and her code is so clever
Yes, she's a hacker, and brilliant as well
Who knows what she cast, but I'm under her spell
[Method Man Sample]
Back when I was nothin', back when I was nothin'
Made a brother feel like he was somethin'
I got a Love Jones for your body and your skin tone
Five minutes alone, I'm already on the bone
Plus I love the fact you got a mind of your own
No need to shop around you got the good stuff at home
Nothing make a man feel better than a woman
Nothing make a man feel better than a woman
Nothing make a man feel better than a woman
Nothing make a man feel better than a woman

[Wheelie Cyberman]
Wheelililie Cyberman, yeah you know me
QUOTE working from home UNQUOTE it's easy
Turn a two-day weekend into three
See we be within reach, TXT the MSG to Beefy
[Beefy]
Vibrations in my pocket it's my phone it says Hadouken
It's the Autobeat commander he's just seeing what I'm doing
Yo retail work politely, I'm hardly feeling mighty
Thinking 'bout taking off early, log on and I mail yt
[int eighty]
Wait a minute (Wait a minute), there might have been a disconnect
A man in the middle attack, I had to intercept
And add a few words. My freestyle was so bad
I burned down my notepad and opened up my vocab
So that's where it's coming from, another album number one
SYN bits released so we start a flood and let it run
Skip the introduction to enter this discussion
Hey it's int eighty, pardon the interruption
[ytcracker]
I don't even know where I belong anymore
Because the people in this cipher got all sick with the flow
So I digress, point to SPAMTEC on my chest
Tap two mana and cast duress
[Beefy]
Success! Operation Good Times is a go
Mission complete, don't even act like you don't even know
So grab your playstation and meet me in the back
Cause we're all about to have a kick back and that's that
[Chorus: int eighty]
It's the fantastic four on the microphone
And we're bouncing these sounds up inside your dome
So put us in your iPod, Zune, or iPhone
Or in your car's tape deck driving home
It's the fantastic four on the microphone
And we're bouncing these sounds up inside your dome
So put us in your iPod, Zune, or iPhone
Or in your car's tape deck driving home
[ytcracker]
Damn junk mail filters catching not junk
Beef, Wheelie, YT, 80 pounding that trunk
Up in the cipher now who'd have thunk
Spent 200 on a bottle just to get drunk
[Wheelie Cyberman]
Grab the bottle from YT and quickly pour it inside me
The first sip of the night, it's like about time finally
Then I feel like fighting, but we don't take it to the mall
Take it Falco style talking Smash Brothers Brawl
[int eighty]
Skip the planning, my Sammus arm cannon starts fanning out the mansion
The human enhancement of Gannon
Impatient or inaccurate, they say wait a measure/way to measure
The time delay entered to betray your datacenter
[Beefy]
But now I gotta cool down, chill out rock a dope crown
Hit you up with headphones and take your ass to rhyme town
I try to keep it peaceful get along and sing a song
But if you're messing with my nerds I gotta show you that I'm strong
[Chorus: int eighty]
It's the fantastic four on the microphone
And we're bouncing these sounds up inside your dome
So put us in your iPod, Zune, or iPhone
Or in your car's tape deck driving home
It's the fantastic four on the microphone
And we're bouncing these sounds up inside your dome
So put us in your iPod, Zune, or iPhone
Or in your car's tape deck driving home
[Beefy]
I've been known to kick back, I've been known to just chill
I've been known to be the killer first act on the show's bill
So let it be known I rip it like a cyclone
Fear and atone, I ain't alone here on this microphone
[int eighty, (Wheelie Cyberman)]
No we're not drunk, (still swerving when I drive)
(Coming northwest), midwest, Google Maps APIs
Point A to Point B, roadtrip to shows
Shift gears, pop the clutch, hit the gas, and then go
[Wheelie Cyberman]
Yeah I'm an excellent driver, you can call me Corey Haim
Fifteen minutes to Wapner, no way
That I'm missing it, definitely watching mid-day
Definitely not working, hurting just to stay awake
[ytcracker]
Now we hopping on the train man, Wheelie Rain Man
Tom Cruisin all up on that microphone
Charlie Babbitt, know we gotta have it
YTCracker, straight balling's a habit, grab it
[Chorus: int eighty]
It's the fantastic four on the microphone
And we're bouncing these sounds up inside your dome
So put us in your iPod, Zune, or iPhone
Or in your car's tape deck driving home
It's the fantastic four on the microphone
And we're bouncing these sounds up inside your dome
So put us in your iPod, Zune, or iPhone
Or in your car's tape deck driving home
It's the fantastic four on the microphone
And we're bouncing these sounds up inside your dome
So put us in your iPod, Zune, or iPhone
Or in your car's tape deck driving home

Play that new beat that you made
Check, Check

Okay
This is a top hat podcast, fall flat all that
Web 2.0 with the AJAX callback
Kiddies look on all crazy-eyed
Exploit framework AttackAPI
Cross-site scripting, XSS
The best bet yes, indulge ex-cess-es
Mess-a-ges will get intercepted
Session ID and login collected
Skip the expression of simple entities
Corruption to exploit system memory
The process heap shifting the balance
Overflow code resistance to malloc
Memcpy yes my action is average
Critical bug prioritize the task list
Gripping the traction, crash the sector
Skip to the action, choose a vector
Call what they be, see what I see
Skip the canary return to libc
Memory release in your nice double free
With my overwrite speed to control EIP
You install rootkits? Never that, never that
Did you exploit this? Get a patch, get a patch

[Verse 1: int eighty]
Behold the smoke and mirrors see I'm through with the illusion
Minds losing any clue when the confusion's so abusive
The scapegoats are flamed when these idiots blame
I just disregard the ratings on my video games
These are red herring flaws in the links that they claim
Is it too much to ask for them to think with their brain
And when net neutrality fails for the internet
Expect your propaganda to receive the same censorship
Battles we fought and the casualties lost
Still they're blasting off bombs into traffic or cops
So just think about reactions when the catalyst stops
We see the same end if it's faster or not
Cause it's so frustrating when these activists talk
Like somewhere's a solution in a magical box
Can't understand why I'm having these thoughts
Battle back, shatter tracks when the reality's lost
[Verse 2: Ill Poetic]
Let me tell you on the low-low spot, that
My reality is Photoshopped, and
All these thugs are just photo ops
So I try to hide my eyes like Robocop, now
Yeah, I wear my sunglasses at night
Trying to find some rum and some blunt ashes on sight
The most beautifulest scenery I ever seen
Is a jpeg on my computer screen, and
I don't want a show I want my MTV and
I don't want a song I want the MP3s and
I don't want to know how to feel
I just want the powder and the pills and
I don't need to know my neighbor
I got a simulation game where I can make a
Cliche, I'm just trying to keep it real
Long as I got some real feel I'm good
[Verse 3: int eighty]
Where do I start again, specified targeting
Reactionary charlatan, vocabulary artisan
While people kill others in assertion of martyrdom
We nitpick politics and split by partisan
What should I conclude, did you tell me the truth
Was it a hoax for when I vote or when I step in the booth
Is the middle class more than what celebrities do
Will you represent the youth when the election is through
I don't recognize the names at the top of the game
But we complain all the same for a positive change
So they let the chads hang while they're calling out claims
There were more votes for the All-Star game
Home of the bravest, every citizen's duty
Spending less time on politics than watching a movie
I want to leave the Earth as somewhere better to live
Do you even know who your representative is

Judgement Day
04:22
|
|||
This is future, reality, worse than a dream
Giving new meaning to man versus machine
I'm a hybrid, cold steel and human flesh team
Tissue bonded with a complex theme
Mission persistent, hide in the basement
Cybernetic SkyNet high tech agent
Plus human fascade that's attached to my chassis
Trained in the tactics proven best practice
Flip on the draw, reaction is fastest
Marksman, I'm quick, 99% accurate
Way above average, shifting the balances
Advanced programming that learned to be compassionate
Cyberdyne Systems, physically crashing it
The future's not set, I'll be the first to add a twist
Systematic killer, the opposite of pacifist
Termination complete, please I'm just a catalyst
Judgement Day: War for the masses
Judgement Day: New weapon classes
Defeat the opposition, Reese is the father
Complete the objective, find Sarah Connor
Judgement Day: War for the masses
Judgement Day: New weapon classes
Defeat the opposition, Reese is the father
Complete the objective, finding Sarah Connor
Defeated by my own kind on the grind tackled
Frequent flyer miles required for time travel
Continue the norm, continuum torn
Created slash born in electrical storms
Forget about logistics the thoughts are mind-blowing
First item accomplished get some new clothing
Of course no remorse and I'm certainly sly
Mingle with the lingo that I learned on the fly
Dual Core chips making faster decisions
Tracking with the vision for the pattern recognition
Reading in the total scenery, seen deceiving easily
Perfect pitch quickly mimic a vocal frequency
Change, rearrange, then I slip in a blade
Face lift, shape shift, tricks of the trade
Long gone if John Connor's still in the way
Cause tomorrow you'll awaken to a different day
Judgement Day: War for the masses
Judgement Day: New weapon classes
Defeat the opposition, Reese is the father
Complete the objective, find Sarah Connor
Judgement Day: War for the masses
Judgement Day: New weapon classes
Defeat the opposition, Reese is the father
Complete the objective, finding Sarah Connor
High tech opponents want to fight a fair battle now
Hypersonic weapons blast a round shatter sound
John Connor, search until I have him found
Seek him out, scan around, look him up, track him down
Pivotal, watch things spin within the mission
The definition one person can make a difference
Cold-hearted, cold steel, chilling it seems
Professional assassin, a killing machine
A huge knowledge base of the skills that I've trained
Plus everything on Google stored up in my brain
The ability to learn at a super high speed
But I can't self-destruct, there's a suicide freeze
Plus as a machine, it's likely that my life's long
But somehow they beat us using small arms and pipe bombs
Just the same we'll be coming your way
We are terminators, today's your Judgement Day
Judgement Day: War for the masses
Judgement Day: New weapon classes
Defeat the opposition, Reese is the father
Complete the objective, find Sarah Connor
Judgement Day: War for the masses
Judgement Day: New weapon classes
Defeat the opposition, Reese is the father
Complete the objective, finding Sarah Connor

It's the, universal, most high professional
World famous plus ecumenical
Time elemental, life in my ventrical
Eyes on the prize sitting high on my pedestal
Why would I ever go, it's too soon to leave
Please it's too easy, it's my spoon to feed
More Dual Core, I'm just half of the name
We flipped a little bit now the value is changed
Cool the touch like the screen on my iPhone
Please don't get it twisted, beats release cyclones
No complaints from the sounds out of my home
Calculate the offset from counting my bytecode
No doubt of my flow, it started the same
Turning up the heat once we harnessed the flame
The beat set it off like an alarm in my brain
Doing Slashdot numbers, karma's insane
This is the plane of the fundamental intellect
A place where technology and audio can intersect
Pro with the flow, please don't ever interject
Holding control that will disconnect your internet
Burn the inferno, the temperature's higher
Riding the lightning splicing live wires
Mortars will fly til they're scorching the sky
Sort of like the Northern Lights on the Fourth of July
It's too much fun
A whole new album, I hear it's begun
Came a long way from the Zeroes and Ones
Opened up a socket, call a raw method
Cannot compute, please just process it
Checksum failed, you got the wrong method
Exhibit Super Powers, just need a hot second
The beat's in the speakers so we're gonna rock it
And peak off the meters 'cause we gotta rock it
Album out, rock it
Stage show, rock it
Everywhere we go people know we always rock it
Welcome to the stage of incredible fame
No it's not a phase, DNA in my veins
Never finish second when I'm the time keeper
Question marks, flags, and clicks on Minesweeper
Bit much to swallow, trick the mind reader
Although we all know and follow blind leaders
We crack thermostats and crank the high fever
Six Four beats just breathe in my speakers
Try to set traps, they chew through the cables
WiMax stats with Bluetooth enabled
Linux Kill Bill, the Wu-Shu is fatal
Exploit the beta reduce you to stable
Version control with patches and the bandages
Bleeding edge slowed to the point of inanimate
Hostage impostors can't even manage it
Negotiate peace to free Release Candidates
The beat's in the speakers so we're gonna rock it
And peak off the meters 'cause we gotta rock it
Album out, rock it
Stage show, rock it
Everywhere we go people know we always rock it
The beat's in the speakers so we're gonna rock it
And peak off the meters 'cause we gotta rock it
Album out, rock it
Stage show, rock it
Everywhere we go people know we always rock it
Just no need for the opposite of positive
All of it, peep my sixth sense of accomplishment
Enter the Dragon expand across continents
Shoot for the stars on a popular Trek
Searching for feedback from Doppler Effect
Read the line noise so we check for state
Push the parity bit through my XOR gate
They dropped the ball, we recovered the fumble
Who placed the pieces and created the puzzle
Who tied the nodes together into clusters
Who mustered the strength to stand just like Custer
Combat in orbit, blow the whole mission
Death Star rays explode your solar system
Punchline knockout spoken as it's written
Twelve round bout that ends in no decision
Sound waves spray and pervade through the bass drum
A red hyper giant invading constellation
XOR the register, prove I'm moving on it
The kick-snare groove as smooth as supersonic
Have a look around, both your eyes will open wide
Object-oriented model alone is so contrived
Back seat driver taking over overdrive
It's time to buckle up 'cause we're going for a ride
Control the open lands from the bishops to pawns
Fracture and capture opponents all along
While 1: repeat. Run it daily in cron
Allow me to reintroduce the Genghis Khan
All-star leaders from all the different teams
Prussians, the Ottomans, plus the Byzantines
Toxins composed from crushed vanilla bean
Heads up: quick to meet the guillotine
The beat's in the speakers so we're gonna rock it
And peak off the meters 'cause we gotta rock it
Album out, rock it
Stage show, rock it
Everywhere we go people know we always rock it
The beat's in the speakers so we're gonna rock it
And peak off the meters 'cause we gotta rock it
Album out, rock it
Stage show, rock it
Everywhere we go people know we always rock it

Back once again it's the team from before
Hit the ground running when we came through the door
Keep the crowd going every time we perform
Shout it out now if you really want more
Let me take it back a few years describing the scene
In Cleveland, Ohio we're at Notacon 3
A hotel party that was packing the floor
It was me vom, anonymouse and Remington Forbes
Hanging out talking, listening to tracks
Someone was saying they heard I could rap
I freestyled a little in school to match words
Do they really want rap in a room full of nerds?
So I.. Spit a rhyme that was more to my style
Programming, hacking, and kernel compiles
Finished with a line about a shift left bit set
Kismet inject, driftnet shipwreck
Cause I'm a nerd too, the doubt was destroyed
Of course they're gonna like the same things I enjoy
The room went crazy, the beats were exploding
Pass the mic to Remy and the flow kept going
Back once again it's the team from before
Hit the ground running when we came through the door
Keep the crowd going every time we perform
Shout it out now if you really want more: Dual Core, Dual Core
Came back from Notacon, learned to spit more
Message in my inbox, mail from Six Four
I've heard his production, was really impressed
His beats, my rhymes, well you know the rest
Bought a mic to record, writing tracks having fun
A year after that we released Zero One
Started booking shows for our songs and sound
Had the whole crowd yelling out Hostage Down
Shoutcast, Radio, iTunes, everything
Awful Show, Game Dame, everybody mentioning
The US and UK, songs hitting play
A shout out from Gabe up at Penny Arcade
Second album, late nights, moving through the hours
Side by side we're producing Super Powers
DEF CON release with the show for the cover
Finally met Six Four and we delivered another, yup
Back once again it's the team from before
Hit the ground running when we came through the door
Keep the crowd going every time we perform
Shout it out now if you really want more: Dual Core, Dual Core
Played a few shows, people loved the CDs
Went to Germany, Columbus, and out to DC
DEF CON's amazing and for all that I care
What happened out in Vegas, didn't have to stay there
Good times, great friends, nothing compares
Thanks to Jackalope we got there, ready, prepared
Come back home from the short summer tour
To a mail in my inbox mail from Six Four
New beats and melodies, base lines bouncing
No time to lose gotta start the third album
Writing day and night, while I'm coding as well
Finished up, listen up, now you hear it yourself
Many thanks to everyone who wrote a review
To the listeners and each of our fans, we thank you
Trust we love them all 'cause geeks are same vein
It feels so surreal when they're shouting our name
Back once again it's the team from before
Hit the ground running when we came through the door
Keep the crowd going every time we perform
Shout it out now if you really want more: Dual Core, Dual Core

The discussion, they've been thinking it for years
A concussion, still ringing in my ears
I was talking one night, by a casual chance
When someone asked so polite to explain what I am
Requested to clarify, staring eyes scared of mine
Thinking that my paradise would leave his business paralyzed
There am I, terrified his regard
Yes, I am a hacker, even says it on my card
Harbinger of chaos that would topple a monopoly
Cookie cutter character with all the common properties
The real question: Did I fit inside the mold
How much did it cost for my soul when it was sold
A hacker is a concept; a metaphor engineer
With good and evil content for left and right hemispheres
Black and white for a sub-committee panel
Of course, you report Dual Core is dual channel
My stereotype, do you really know who I am
My stereotype, do I really show what I can
My stereotype, your head is buried low in the sand
And do I really have to flow to show you folks who I am
Another conversation, they've been thinking it for years
The overtones of which are still ringing in my ears
I was talking one night, by a casual chance
When someone asked so polite to explain what I am
Is crime just a game, rush and mame, crush and slay
When life comes to play, run away, shun the blame
Some would say, something may not be right
Yes I am a gamer, and I play it every night
The signature of crazy, do I scream and shout in my house
Immature and lazy, do I hide behind a cop-out
The real question was: Is it this that I do best
Are there any of us different, or are we just like all the rest
A gamer is a shapeshifter driving from the backseat
With hand-eye coordination better than an athlete
Button presser which you control also
Of course you report Dual Core is in the console
My stereotype, do you really know who I am
My stereotype, do I really show what I can
My stereotype, your head is buried low in the sand
And do I really have to flow to show you folks who I am
How can I change your mind?
How can I change your mind?
How can I change your mind?
You better think quick 'cause we're running out of time
This one's an argument, been thinking it for years
Anxiety from which is still ringing in my ears
I was talking one night, by a casual chance
When someone asked so polite to explain what I am
The question is operative, cogniscent or positive
With words being talkative or weapons for demoloshing
Often since confidence is head strong
Yes, I am a rapper, even says it on my songs
The vision of a failure, a fool as it would seem
Who would bet a whole career on a future built of dreams
The real question: Is my grammar always mangled
Do I end with prepositions, do my participles dangle
A rapper is a person represented by a mouth
And judged by the concepts and words they talk about
Grab a mic making something out of nothing
And if you don't like the sound then just hit the skip button
My stereotype, do you really know who I am
My stereotype, do I really show what I can
My stereotype, your head is buried low in the sand
And do I really have to flow to show you folks who I am
How can I change your mind?
How can I change your mind?
How can I change your mind?
You better think quick 'cause we're running out of time

[Verse 1: int eighty]
Tonight's the big night gotta show them that I'm strong
Turn the music up, there's a party going on
Got a few consoles, place a few bets
Add a few friends and no telling what's next
XBox, Wii, hiding all of the connectors
Flatscreen, an overloaded surge protector
I've been waiting too long, get this show on the road
Turn it on, hit the power, then all systems go
Load the game, go insane, throw grenades, over gates
Blow away shoulder blades, know the name, open safes
A few simple rules so get ready for a crash course
Gotta know controls, every system any platform
Cartridge or disc, you know it's fair game
If you've got a bigger gun then we'll just compare aim
Dual Core, Take it Back, now you know the name
We just have a little fun and enjoy it the same
[Chorus: int eighty]
Sit back 'cause we're taking a ride
The games in here so we're staying inside
Got a few friends and we're playing tonight
Have a good time and just take in stride
Sit back 'cause we're taking a ride
The games in here so we're staying inside
Got a few friends and we're playing tonight
And they ain't leaving til 6 in the morning
[Chorus: Stephanie KB]
My Playstation lets me play for fun
My Nintendo Wii is gonna set me free
XBox Live is a source of pride
And this MP3 just lets my feelings breathe
[Verse 2: int eighty]
So who in here's ever felt unsettled
Staying up late just to beat the next level
Next boss, next quest, next fight, next guy
Parents start yelling it's past your bedtime
Threatening you're grounded, no buts can't try
But you're feeling that push, that drive, that's why
You got the new armor or cracked the new code
You're winning in the race so you're conquering the globe
Parents always told you gotta finish what begins
And what about the time they told you quitters never win
It's too late for logic, they don't want to listen in
Cause that would be a weakness, a sign of giving in
Now it's Mission 10 and if skipping it's a sin
That's the gamer spirit that will always live within
Remember how it was even through the thick and thin
Then this song will make you smile or at least you'll give a grin
[Chorus: int eighty]
Sit back 'cause we're taking a ride
The games in here so we're staying inside
Got a few friends and we're playing tonight
Have a good time and just take in stride
Sit back 'cause we're taking a ride
The games in here so we're staying inside
Got a few friends and we're playing tonight
And they ain't leaving til 6 in the morning
[Chorus: Stephanie KB]
My Playstation lets me play for fun
My Nintendo Wii is gonna set me free
XBox Live is a source of pride
And this MP3 just lets my feelings breathe
[Verse 3: int eighty]
Back to the party where we're playing everything
Every game that you bring, the whole thing is full swing
Surprised by the clock how the hands seem to fly
It's always fun times up until the sun rise
Video games are the main entertainment
But having friends around has just got to be my favorite
Best of any effort for rescuing the Princess
Nothing compared to just sharing your interests
Plus the good times that the gaming always brings
Side conversations and catching up on things
Can't lose the memory deleting the file
Some of these friends I haven't seen in a while
We had to take it back and complete it in style
Always good times so I'm keeping a smile
Now the sun's up moving through the equator
So we'll do it all again, better sooner than later
[Chorus: int eighty]
Sit back 'cause we're taking a ride
The games in here so we're staying inside
Got a few friends and we're playing tonight
Have a good time and just take in stride
Sit back 'cause we're taking a ride
The games in here so we're staying inside
Got a few friends and we're playing tonight
And they ain't leaving til 6 in the morning
[Chorus: Stephanie KB]
My Playstation lets me play for fun
My Nintendo Wii is gonna set me free
XBox Live is a source of pride
And this MP3 just lets my feelings breathe

[Verse 1: "Mainstream rapper"]
Uh, yeah, check it yo
I got sixteen, you got no verse
You should be home doing my homework
Quit before your own turn
That ain't a backpack, that's an old purse
So just back off, take a bat to the back of your laptop
You don't belong in rap; he's a PC, me, I'm a Mac
And see, that's a fact
This is real talk, your words are abstract
You can't win, face it, this dude is living in his mom's basement
Start moving, you losing
Bookworm, should have studied improving
That joke was amusing
You're an oxymoron, dude is confusing
[Verse 2: int eighty]
If I'm a PC, then I'm Dual Core computing
Since you're a Mac, then it's clear you're a Newton
Ripping it, believing it, quick 'cause I notice things
I'm gigabit ethernet, your style is token ring
You fake smart, it's not AI
Your boys are your backup, I got a RAID5
Castle invade, checkmate in Simon's Quest
You wanna play a game, then do what Simon Says
Get a new page, correct what you say
I'll set a blue flame to your level 2 mage
Well it's too late, you spray toothpaste
I pack binaries, you pack suitcase
Plus I got a girl, I never mac that
My brain is fast track so I have the last laugh
A memory leak, only he doesn't know
Errors and warnings, time to debug your flow
[Verse 3: "Mainstream rapper"]
You funny, better run dummy
Put you in the toilet and take your lunch money
You a now and later, bounce you later
Break you in half like your calculator
They call me the aftershaver
This dude ain't too sharp, gonna make me grab a razor
You're a beginner, me I rhyme great
King of the Midwest and the tri-state
[Verse 4: int eighty]
You're an irate, live bait, crime rate primate
Zero out your time-wait, and kick you off MySpace
Water molecules dehydrate
How you gonna skyscrape when your height is 5-8? (Come here!)
You failing like Sybase
The only time you get big is right before you dilate
Check your mail, new message
My chromosome is XY, yours is two Xs
[Verse 5: "Mainstream rapper"]
I'm selling like crack, I gotta cook that
Hold the mic right, that's why I took that
Man you look bad, he got too many books for his bookbag
I'm a mean dude, you don't wanna see me mean too, this means you
Life ain't fair, no one said I'm nice
I rep for my corner each and every night
[Verse 6: int eighty]
Wow, you run a corner in the dead of night?
I run a whole island inside of Second Life
Better price, better time
True, your IQ's less than Kevin Federline's
Never mind, no-one's home
This guy tried to blue-box a cellular phone
Shoot him down in a blue blaze of glory
He thought I, Robot was based on true stories
[Verse 7: "Mainstream rapper"]
Look man, let me holler at you
My 28" rims are even taller than you
Uh, he can't see me
Blind from the shine on my chain 3D
[Verse 8: int eighty]
You're confused, look I can see
They took you off BitTorrent, no-one would seed you
You like to talk rhyme a lot
But your diamond rocks cannot outshine my fiber ops
[Verse 9: "Mainstream rapper"]
I'm too fly, call me Big Bird
Get outta here with your big words, big nerd
Look, I get paid in the streets
I was made in the streets, so I'm blazin' the streets
[Verse 10: int eighty]
No need to ask, whether Dual Core's hot yet
With more downloads than the whole Storm botnet
If you blaze in the street, raising the heat
Then why I face an emcee, you ain't amazing to me
Talk about my words like a verbal jihad
You're barely smart enough to call the Geek Squad
You're not a rap competitor
This guy guest-appeared on "To Catch a Predator"
Why don't you have a seat over there?
[Outro]
You are nothing (nothing)
Fatality-tality-tality-tality (Mortal Kombat death scream)

[Wheelie Cyberman]
Wheelililie Cyberman, yeah you know me
QUOTE working from home UNQUOTE it's easy
Turn a two-day weekend into three
See we be within reach, TXT the MSG to Beefy
[Beefy]
Vibrations in my pocket it's my phone it says Hadouken
It's the Autobeat commander he's just seeing what I'm doing
Yo retail work politely, I'm hardly feeling mighty
Thinking 'bout taking off early, log on and I mail yt
[int eighty]
Wait a minute (Wait a minute), there might have been a disconnect
A man in the middle attack, I had to intercept
And add a few words. My freestyle was so bad
I burned down my notepad and opened up my vocab
So that's where it's coming from, another album number one
SYN bits released so we start a flood and let it run
Skip the introduction to enter this discussion
Hey it's int eighty, pardon the interruption
[ytcracker]
I don't even know where I belong anymore
Because the people in this cipher got all sick with the flow
So I digress, point to SPAMTEC on my chest
Tap two mana and cast duress
[Beefy]
Success! Operation Good Times is a go
Mission complete, don't even act like you don't even know
So grab your playstation and meet me in the back
Cause we're all about to have a kick back and that's that
[Chorus: int eighty]
It's the fantastic four on the microphone
And we're bouncing these sounds up inside your dome
So put us in your iPod, Zune, or iPhone
Or in your car's tape deck driving home
It's the fantastic four on the microphone
And we're bouncing these sounds up inside your dome
So put us in your iPod, Zune, or iPhone
Or in your car's tape deck driving home
[ytcracker]
Damn junk mail filters catching not junk
Beef, Wheelie, YT, 80 pounding that trunk
Up in the cipher now who'd have thunk
Spent 200 on a bottle just to get drunk
[Wheelie Cyberman]
Grab the bottle from YT and quickly pour it inside me
The first sip of the night, it's like about time finally
Then I feel like fighting, but we don't take it to the mall
Take it Falco style talking Smash Brothers Brawl
[int eighty]
Skip the planning, my Sammus arm cannon starts fanning out the mansion
The human enhancement of Gannon
Impatient or inaccurate, they say wait a measure/way to measure
The time delay entered to betray your datacenter
[Beefy]
But now I gotta cool down, chill out rock a dope crown
Hit you up with headphones and take your ass to rhyme town
I try to keep it peaceful get along and sing a song
But if you're messing with my nerds I gotta show you that I'm strong
[Chorus: int eighty]
It's the fantastic four on the microphone
And we're bouncing these sounds up inside your dome
So put us in your iPod, Zune, or iPhone
Or in your car's tape deck driving home
It's the fantastic four on the microphone
And we're bouncing these sounds up inside your dome
So put us in your iPod, Zune, or iPhone
Or in your car's tape deck driving home
[Beefy]
I've been known to kick back, I've been known to just chill
I've been known to be the killer first act on the show's bill
So let it be known I rip it like a cyclone
Fear and atone, I ain't alone here on this microphone
[int eighty, (Wheelie Cyberman)]
No we're not drunk, (still swerving when I drive)
(Coming northwest), midwest, Google Maps APIs
Point A to Point B, roadtrip to shows
Shift gears, pop the clutch, hit the gas, and then go
[Wheelie Cyberman]
Yeah I'm an excellent driver, you can call me Corey Haim
Fifteen minutes to Wapner, no way
That I'm missing it, definitely watching mid-day
Definitely not working, hurting just to stay awake
[ytcracker]
Now we hopping on the train man, Wheelie Rain Man
Tom Cruisin all up on that microphone
Charlie Babbitt, know we gotta have it
YTCracker, straight balling's a habit, grab it
[Chorus: int eighty]
It's the fantastic four on the microphone
And we're bouncing these sounds up inside your dome
So put us in your iPod, Zune, or iPhone
Or in your car's tape deck driving home
It's the fantastic four on the microphone
And we're bouncing these sounds up inside your dome
So put us in your iPod, Zune, or iPhone
Or in your car's tape deck driving home
It's the fantastic four on the microphone
And we're bouncing these sounds up inside your dome
So put us in your iPod, Zune, or iPhone
Or in your car's tape deck driving home
