Cipher Punks ft. Remington Forbes
Dual Core Lyrics

Hey I'm int eighty, my memory's flash
Hello, I am knowledgeable and my memory is sharp

They call us Dual Core 'cause we got twice as much cache/cash
We are called Dual Core because we possess double the resources or wealth

My freestyle is fast, and the synapses fry
My improvised rap is quick and electrifying

Go to war with the flames like emacs and vi
Engage in a battle of skills like the rivalry between the text editors emacs and vi

Push through the summer for the winter green
Work hard during the hot seasons to achieve financial stability for the future

Won't stand for delays like the Vista team
I won't tolerate any slowdowns like the infamous Windows Vista development team

Microeconomics keep the cash flow typical
Understanding small-scale economics helps maintain a consistent flow of money

That's minimally visible to the astrophysical
These economic principles may not be noticeable on a cosmic scale

My brain is a structure exploding novas
My mind is an organized system bursting with creativity and brilliance

That's tougher than clusters of OpenMosix
It is more robust and resilient than groups of computers connected via OpenMosix

Execute kiddies who know they can't hang
I dismiss and outperform inexperienced individuals who cannot keep up

Change mode plus x and start with a shebang
Modify permissions and initiate a program with a declaration of intent

Here's the process sir/processor, I don't mean to be over the top
Allow me to explain the steps involved, sir, I don't intend to exaggerate

I burn you when my internal speed is overclocked
I defeat or outperform you when I operate at an accelerated pace

My kernel is 2.6.19, my appearance is quite clean
My core software version is 2.6.19, and my overall presentation is polished

I just gotta choose the right theme
I only need to select the suitable visual style

The light's green which means I got a connection
The signal is favorable, indicating I have a proper network connection

Flows move through the air like wireless reception
My rap verses travel effortlessly like wireless signals

You can't capture what this kid spits with Kismet
You cannot fully comprehend the content I deliver using skill and natural talent

Each packet I send is encrypted with trip-DES
Every piece of my communication is encoded using strong triple-DES encryption

And I'll keep flowing til the light goes off
I will continue rapping until the energy diminishes

You get a virus-cough, you kids are Microsoft
Your weak attempts at rhyming are comparable to a computer virus, while I am at a high level like Microsoft

And I'm hard like OpenBSD internals
I possess solidity and strength like the internal mechanics of the OpenBSD operating system

Excuse me, I need to make a call to the kernel
Pardon me, I must engage in low-level system operations

Tapped the NSA and listened to two calls
I intercepted secure conversations facilitated by the National Security Agency

My blue box left AT&T with blue balls
My device used to manipulate phone calls left AT&T in frustration and impotence

Iced the cold calls telemarketers scared of me
I effectively silenced unsolicited sales calls, causing telemarketers to fear me

Disconnect signals. Reverse the polarity
Interrupt communication channels and invert the electric polarity

Beat boxing melodies with twice as much energy
Creating rhythmic beats vocally and with exceptional enthusiasm

Y'all suck at double ups like rambus memory
You all fail at duplicating skills, similar to the unreliability of rambus memory technology

Cipher inside, make it ISO compliant
Incorporate encryption within, ensuring it adheres to ISO standards

Lying to ident while hiding disguises
Deceiving systems designed to identify, concealing one's true identity

Fiber and wires, retire the science
Move beyond conventional methods involving optical fiber and cables

Broadcasting silence with a pirated license
Transmitting nothingness without proper authorization

Stand in defiance to triumph goliaths
Resist and emerge victorious against powerful opponents

Tyrants with sirens burying iron giants
Oppressive figures with alarms overshadowing colossal machines

It's Remy, these other kids try to compete
It is Remington Forbes, other young artists attempt to rival my skills

No hub-bub, but I still collide with the beat
Although there is no unnecessary fuss, I seamlessly synchronize with the rhythm

Everybody's like: Damn that kid rhyming is nice
Everyone exclaims: Wow, the way this youngster constructs rhymes is impressive

I'm like: Damn how'd my browser turn from fire to ice
On the other hand, I express surprise that my web browser has unexpectedly malfunctioned

From a Fox to a Weasel, what I drop is lethal
Transitions from using Mozilla Firefox to the lightweight web browser known as Weasel, and the content I present is powerful

Injecting your database with a shot of SQL
Making modifications to your information storage system using SQL commands

This is not a sequel, you scream give me more
This is not a continuation, yet you demand additional content

I'm old school like Coleco or Commodore 64
I embrace retro preferences akin to the gaming consoles ColecoVision or Commodore 64

Remy spits the raw, you script kiddies are lame
I deliver authentic rap verses, while you amateur computer hackers lack creativity and skill

Call me the WOPR, now shall we play a game
Refer to me as the WOPR supercomputer from the movie WarGames, and let us engage in a challenge

No one can stop it, not even Matthew Broderick
No individual can halt my progress, not even the actor Matthew Broderick who portrayed a hacker in WarGames

This war game will end up atomic
This simulated conflict will escalate to a nuclear scale

It's evident the revolution is OS
It is clear that the revolution is linked to operating systems and software

I spit every 4 bits you can call my flow hex
I emit each 4-bit unit, referring to my rap style as hexadecimal

This is no trick, I mean it's not-a-con
This is not a deception, in fact, it's not a con

My flow is much faster than the cycles in Tron
My rap delivery surpasses the speed of the computation cycles depicted in the movie Tron

I get a SYN from the beat, I have to respond
When the rhythm indicates synchronization, I must react accordingly

I send an ACK for my rap, I don't pause too long
I reply with an acknowledgement for my lyrical performance without significant delay

I get the final SYN/ACK, you'll see what's next
Upon receiving the ultimate synchronization and acknowledgement, you will witness my next move

I leave your windows disabled with the blue screen of death
I render your Microsoft Windows system inoperable by causing the dreaded blue screen of death error

My brain matter's faster, I dream in clean rooms
My thought processes operate at a higher speed, and I envision in pristine environments

With a checkmate on Deep Blue in three moves
Achieving a decisive victory over the chess-playing supercomputer Deep Blue in only three moves

Shut down their opening now I got em backing off
I effectively nullify their initial strategy, causing them to retreat

Countered Sicilian to overthrow Kasparov
I employ a strategic move known as the Sicilian Defense to overthrow Garry Kasparov, a renowned chess grandmaster

Blasting off with a cash crop to jettison
Launching into success with a lucrative venture to discard

Taste your own medicine or invent like Edison
Experience the consequences of your actions, or display inventive greatness akin to Thomas Edison

Impress the president, split the dichotomy
Amaze the leader of a nation while dividing an opposing contrast

With quickness, of elliptic, curve cryptography
Utilizing the rapidity of elliptic curve cryptography techniques

Plus quantum physics has the world surrounded
Additionally, the principles of quantum physics envelop the entire world

But I change the definition by talking about it
However, I alter the perception by discussing and engaging with quantum physics
