Press Start
Beefy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stressed enough at work, I wanna kick it Lazy Sunday style
Arcade full of cabinets, I gotta say I'm versatile
Street Fighter that's my game, don't wanna face me 80?
Yo, embarrass ya and beat ya with a tiny Chinese lady
(int80)
please, your abilities just won't compare
it's guile getting major opponents running scared
but i'm too quick in the sky so you won't go there
(int80)
you think it's only you throwing people from the air?
quick - stick and move, lot to prove, call a truce
skin of steel, topple you, doctor doom, sonic boom
(Beefy)
Gimme room, Got Ryu, Throwing fire like a dragon dude
Fing Fam Foom, watch ya fume, whatcha think you're gonna do?
(int80)
OK rolling through, for every man i've got a plan
so you still can't beat me giving "all you can"
(Beefy)
Whatever man, I'm not even feeling hot today
Let's go LAN, F this game, don't like that version anyway
A conflict begins on the screens - PRESS START!
Tactics and skill are the themes - PRESS START!
2 players enter, 1 player leaves
The outcome remains to be seen - PRESS START!
Now it's time to even up the score - PRESS START!
Beefy combined with Dual Core - PRESS START!
A rematch? Forget it
I'm all out of credits
Ok, Ok, one more - PRESS START!
(int80)
pc gaming, time for showing off my force
on my favorite map office in counter strike source
lan it up so my deagle can erupt
lob a 'nade, spray and pray, are you really man enough?
(Beefy)
I don't know, ask the bodies that that I left over in Dust
Plantin bombs and you can trust gonna let my shotty bust
Spray it up,
(int80)
those your nuts?
(Beefy)
yeah I know you love my tag
And your sitting right across from me, no blaming it on lag
(int80)
ok now i'm mad, but this round's in the bag
(Beefy)
Dominating
(int80)
what the d--k, how'd you get another frag?
aim and hit, strafing quick, spray and split
(Beefy)
headshot, headshot
(int80)
this is making me sick
(Beefy)
i swear that wasn't planned and there wasn't no rehearsal
(int80)
then how would you explain all this freaking role reversal?
(Beefy)
Maybe I was blessed with the glory of the headshot
What 80 doesn't know is that I got the dopest aim bot. boosh!
A conflict begins on the screens - PRESS START!
Tactics and skill are the themes - PRESS START!
2 players enter, 1 player leaves
The outcome remains to be seen - PRESS START!
Now it's time to even up the score - PRESS START!
Beefy combined with Dual Core - PRESS START!
A rematch? Forget it
I'm all out of credits
Ok, Ok, one more - PRESS START!
(Beefy)
80's level 99, I don't think I can destroy him
I was taught that if the other dude is better you should join em
(int80)
So whatcha trying to say?
(Beefy)
We should congregate our forces
Together we'd be stronger than a billion charging horses
(int80)
an unbeatable team, and about to take it home
double dragon 3, picking up the sacred stones
the ultimate in co-op, a good idea or better yet
let's go kill some zombies and we'll get on left 4 dead
(Beefy)
I got you when the jockeys all of your back
Stay strapped while I utilize this medical pack
And I could use a heal because trolls are known to prowl
Raiding 2 against 100 when we log on to WoW
(int80)
setting up a decoy, level up and destroy
tag team vigilantes running in like leroy
standing near the door, clear in force, heretofore
let the lancer rip grinding on the gears of war
(Beefy)
Locust run in fear when I rain fire from the sky
You be Fenix, I'll be Dom when we're running it on Live
Later on, go to green, transform into a Marine
Halo3, int80 & Beefy's rock a killing spree
Regulate for hours tills there's blisters on our fingers
(int80)
We'll dominate your servers
(Beefy)
And we do not bother with beginners
Are you in it?
(int80)
Here to win it
(Beefy)
And we only know success
Dual Core, Beefy-T, what's that button that we press?
A conflict begins on the screens - PRESS START!
Tactics and skill are the themes - PRESS START!
2 players enter, 1 player leaves
The outcome remains to be seen - PRESS START!
Now it's time to even up the score - PRESS START!
Beefy combined with Dual Core - PRESS START!
A rematch? Forget it
I'm all out of credits
Ok, Ok, one more - PRESS START!
