40 Amps
Goa Trip Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Though you may not drive a great big cadillac
Gangster whitewalls tv antenna in the back
You may not have a car at all
But just remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you've got
Though you may not drive a great big cadillac
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top, diggin the scene
With the gangster lean
For what you've got

You may not have a car at all
But just remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you've got
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top, diggin' the scene
With the gangster lean ooh ooh ooh
Though you may not drive a great big cadillac
Gangster whitewalls tv antenna in the back
You may not have a car at all
But just remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you've got
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top, diggin the scene




With the Gangster lean

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "40 Amps" by Goa Trip is an uplifting message about being grateful for what you have. The first verse talks about not needing to have a fancy car, such as a great big Cadillac with gangster whitewalls and a TV antenna in the back, to feel important. The second verse emphasizes that whether or not you have a car at all, you can still stand tall by being thankful for what you do have.


The chorus of the song is a repetition of the phrase "Diamonds in the back, sunroof top, diggin the scene, With the gangster lean". This phrase served as a popular car culture reference during the 1970s for having a luxurious car with flashy features. The phrase is repeated throughout the song to drive home the message that you don't need a fancy car to feel good about yourself and that you should be thankful for what you do have.


The song is a reminder that one's self-worth should not be determined by material possessions, but rather by realizing that the small things in life can also be great. It's all about having gratitude and appreciation for what you have, and not taking things for granted.

There was an old program called cablenut that would let you change a LOT of settings.

Your 1472 might be OK right now, but later it might be too big.
Too many factors.
Safest and most reliable MTU is 1460. Allows for more 'elbow room'.

Ideally you want to set the MTU for the USE of the internet.
Example for small test files, mouse clicks, simple things, you waste resources with large MTU's.
If you set it too small but do large file transfers, it WILL fragment.

While speeds can seem fantastic, many ISP's throttle speeds (some call it deprioritization - SAME THING).
So MTU adjustments would not show any benefit.

Author showed Windows but no other operating system.
Try adjusting that permanently on a Linux Box....
Or a Mac.

Greg Palmer

@Liron Segev I followed your directions and came up with 1472. Add 28, that's 1500

Again, another great tutorial here. How you simplify this stuff and yet give it a decent explanation is what sets you apart from a lot of YouTuber's out here doing these.

ascelot

yeah, my router was luckly already had these settings done

your casual mapper

wth wdym "simple" he litreally took 8 whole minutes to show a "1 setting to change that will boost up your internet"

@your casual mapper I get that but think about who may watch these videos? People who probably do not have much understanding on how these things work. A little expo isnt bad as long the entire video isn't a lesson in expo. I feel like Liron does a great job of that. Talks to us like people but with the understanding most may not get it and requires a little simple talk during the process, but I get it. Some want just the steps and no banter. This channel, it really works. At least that is my opinion of it.
