for you
Dual Core Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(you ready, chris? i think they know who we are now. let's tell them where we've been.)

i've been busy. see us stocking up the store
with fresh produce from the legend six four

days off the calendar, believe i've been counting
glued to my keyboard, writing for the album
i've been on the internet announcing to the public
getting five-star reviews of lost reality published

touring every weekend, hanging out with fans
signing every autograph and shaking every hand

i've been out promoting, the only way i know (what's that?)
showing off my flow while i'm flowing at my shows

if i'm not on stage live, ripping a set
it's only 'cause i've been at work, chained to my desk

i've been stressed - about my talent and capacity
and if this new album could compare to lost reality

truthfully, i've been wondering if we'd finish
i've been living a dream and i'm loving every minute

(thank you so much for joining us here. you're about to find out where we've been.)

everybody on the internet: this one's for you
my people in the crowd: this one's for you

you saw us at a show: this one's for you
you helped our music grow: this one's for you

you purchased and believe in it: this one's for you
you ripped and seeded it: then this one's for you


they said, "come out west and rock it before long"
i went to san diego and played at toorcon

tim and h1kari went and brought the show to me
with cmos talking 'bout touring overseas

they said, "come to the east coast, we want to see you"
thanks to the potters i've been rocking out at shmoo

they said, "down south, your fans won't believe it"
so skydog and merlin brought us down to phreaknic

every single stage, every time i rap live
i see matt, and darren, and shannon for hak5

ask for a freestyle, i'll rhyme more lines
see me with the dc-949

finesse with the moose, connect with the wires
quick pop a box, cp another vyrus

reversing and coding, connecting to shells
'cause these search algorithms don't optimize themselves

(i'm on some traveling salesman type stuff. you better solve that algorithm.)

everybody on the internet: this one's for you
my people in the crowd: this one's for you

you saw us at a show: this one's for you
you helped our music grow: this one's for you

you purchased and believe in it: this one's for you
you ripped and seeded it: then this one's for you

i've been saying; we came to stay, face it
music has been broken, dual core's here to replace it

another run of albums packing suitcases
on a first name basis with TSA agents

in and out of airports all across the nation
now they finally know i'm not taking a vacation

writing on the plane, pushing higher styles
overflowing integers on frequent flyer miles

adding new shows, booking up quickly
with kismet maps over fifty different cities

downtown, uptown, or interstate drivin'
this song's not long enough for everywhere that i've been

so many shows, and loving what i see
watching heads nod to every one of these beats

i've been on different stages, rocking different mics
for the same fans i love and share this part of my life

(we couldn't do this without you. we do it for us, but we do it for you.)

everybody on the internet: this one's for you
my people in the crowd: this one's for you

you saw us at a show: this one's for you
you helped our music grow: this one's for you





you purchased and believe in it: this one's for you
you ripped and seeded it: then this one's for you
