Hostage Down
Dual Core Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm running from terrorists, hope they don't chase me
we got 4 hosties, let's get em home safely

CT squads wreckin whole brigades
with an M4, a knife, and smoke grenades

Ask the same questions get the same answers
it's Dual Core, we're not some lame campers

Died in a cheap trap, let's get a rematch
rushed out of spawn and got hit with a team flash

Discard the guns giv em my real credit
rhyme skill legend with a knife kill fetish

pwn these n00bs and watch the strong fall
come play Office, we'll meet in Long hall

Nickname "dead-eye", loaded and cocked
my Deagle sends a round through the scope on your AWP

Big guns, small arms, doesn't even matter yet
you're the type to jump, crouch, hide in the cabinets

Just tell them now they better hit the ground
all you hear is hostage down

Whether Office, Dust, Aztec, or Lounge
all I hear is hostage down

So the terrorists gettin' the message now
all you hear is hostage down

Dual Core, man, we're the best in town
all I hear is hostage down

Add six kills only pulled five shots
with an aimbot chop I copped from myg0t

VAC's about (mmmm) three months back on these cheats
so blast on the maps that start with de

Kids wanna cry about even teams
plus the first dust really cheats the Ts

My single pump shottie's on all-night spree
time to plant, meet me at bombsite B



Just tell them now they better hit the ground
all you hear is hostage down

Whether Office, Dust, Aztec, or Lounge
all I hear is hostage down

So the terrorists gettin' the message now
all you hear is hostage down

Dual Core, man, we're the best in town
all I hear is hostage down

Back to the business with ill intentions
gotta give Valve props for the physics engine

Flame on the forums to see if you're heard or not
they messed up something? blame it on Turtle Rock

I don't play Italy, there's too much crime there
the Ts camp apartments like owning time shares

Bomb on Congo, dusk to dawn
spray poolday, love custom mods

Might pick up a 90 or knife for slicING
but won't pay the dynamic weapons pricING

The Deagle and Scout, that's my forte
you rush B, I'll flank short A

Screw dust2, what you want trouble for
get flashed in the tunnel? Sniped through the double doors?

Twenty-six-hundred, seven-four defeats
the number of people I killed with dual 'leets, do the math

(dual lites.. leet being 1337, so 2 x 1337 = 2674)

Just tell them now they better hit the ground
all you hear is hostage down

Whether Office, Dust, Aztec, or Lounge
all I hear is hostage down

So the terrorists gettin' the message now
all you hear is hostage down





Dual Core, man, we're the best in town
all I hear is hostage down

@HisVirusness

int eighty, a few hours ago, you handed me a card with a YouTube comment on it before you went on stage over by the merch stand at Beat Kitchen. Didn't know what to make of it.

After your set, and especially this song (and The Commandments), I have another comment for you:

This shit is fire, even if the plebs don't get it. It ain't for them!

@SleepyWarCriminal

“We’re not some lame Cammpers”
“Add 6 kills only fired 5 shots”
“Kids wanna cry about uneven teams”
“Flash threw the tunnel, Snipe through the double doors”
