Ones & Zeroes
Beefy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beefy T and YTC we talk with ones and zeroes
Party in your head when you're feeling the verse
Best believe in what you see, Nerdy South, we own the universe
Rock across the globe but at home on a track
Keep it 1337 and keep it geek and yo you know where it's at
Think before ya speak, before ya open your mouth
Praise be to spam god for giving you the Nerdy South
I be the finger snapper, your sister's favorite rapper
I make ya put your hands together then its over like a clapper
I'm the day and I'm the night, I'm both the alpha and omega
Flex fit upon my skull, dressed in black just like a Sega
Got more power than the megadrive, you're taking a five
And while ya rest your fans will learn the main event has arrived
Baptised in a fire when I held that five and quarter
A beast had come alive so tell the channel five reporter
I didn't learn to make it work, I learned to make it work for me
Get me the information that I'm needed to succeed
Now ya see in the spotlight, you see the marquee?
A list of all your favorite rappers, and among em is me
Put in the hours and I'm grinding watch the numbers explode
Call it in, a two-eleven, Beefy's stolen the show
And he ain't ever giving it back, try and you get laid flat
Finally at the higher level and I've waited long to say that
i get high with my peoples from the internet and blessing
everybody i encounter beefy whitey mc router started
something with the focus trusting nothing to chance
and the Spam God enforce every bit of my parlance
spamtec are my brothers dg does the damn thing
nerdy south keeps the records rotating for the spam king
spamming and romancing every little girl up on the tubes
typed a couple sentences and now im looking at her boobs
dont lose your focus im the dopest in fact
aint no fiction to my friction with these chicks in the sack
got a knack for the Praise Him ladies i amaze them
sitting on the wireless naked at the days inn
apple r and the stats refresh
one zero zero man you know the rest
passed the test im a product of the 80s and now
nerdy south blowing up with the boom boom pow
