alright
Dual Core Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(what's up everyone?)

(it's great to be here this evening)

(i hope you're all having a good time, i certainly am)

(so i like hacking, but i also like rapping)
my real name's david

my interests are scifi, internet, and gaming

grabbin hold of mics and running up on stages
and spit a hard drive full of rhymes rocking faces

face it, this is what i do
and i do this for my people, namely you, you, and you

TRUE! a rapper in the zone
that could write his own code, hack the os on your phone?

then go home, put himself to the test?
then go to work and sit for hours at a desk?

while still spitting hot enough to cook an atom?
well let me share a secret... you're looking at him!

believe me, six four is trying to defeat me
my beat need's a regular expression, being greedy

appease me, feed me, about to lose my mind
he's got jvm tracks, they compile just in time

got him overclocked and he's maxing out the load
my guitar hero flow always eating up the notes

breaking the controls so i take them to my shows
the drum's ZeaLouS1 bout to make my head explode

boom! a headshot everytime i go
start a round, hunt em down so that everybody knows

listenin, the beat turns the heat up to blisterin
can't touch the key that the feed was encrypted in

WIN!

dual core on the mic and we're keeping it tight
everybody said al-right (alright)

just have a good time til the end of the night
everybody said al-right (alright)

top of the game and that's just how it goes
the best act around or in town that you know

get prepared for return of the snares
rock the flow for the rest of the show, so

NOW

ready to run, second to none, better be steady for ev-e-ry one
revving the tongue, weapon of fun, melting the SUN

download and click run,
hear me coming to get some, exhibiting all of the symptoms

ONE more time for my people in the front row
i'm loving all of you folks, giving me energy ripping the show

wanting to get back, call me part of the riff raff
cause i'm tearing down the mics, ev-e-ry night, coming to spit facts

never been known to skip that
calling a semaphore, stylin, and rising out of the impasse

cause you never know, trojaned all of my /bin/bash
at home with my cell phone, always rockin a tin hat

set connect, sending the packets with a syn ack
always working it hard, once in a while been known to kick back

get that?

dual core on the mic and we're keeping it tight
everybody said al-right (alright)

just have a good time til the end of the night
everybody said al-right (alright)

top of the game and that's just how it goes
the best act around or in town that you know

get prepared for return of the snares
rock the flow for the rest of the show, so

now i stand with the best keep you planted in check
my delivery moves like the planet express

"good news everyone" is what i expect
vocal tones mold a flow and we add the finesse

seismographs crash while they're measurin' my temperament
and if i'm playing vegas going all in then you better bet

evident, i'm not some heaven sent precedent
i'm the same as all of you, just trying hard to represent

saint's row too, so it's time to collect
and dual core's the name that you've gotta respect





respect
