All About the Paper
Loleatta Holloway Lyrics

It's all about the Pentiums, baby
The focus here is on the importance and supremacy of high-performance computer processors, symbolizing a broader quest for success and competence in technology.

Uhh, uh-huh, yeah
Expressing enthusiasm and agreement, signaling excitement about the subject being discussed.

What y'all wanna do?
Asking the audience about their ambitions or goals in the tech world.

Wanna be hackers? Code crackers? Slackers
Indicating different paths people take in tech, from skilled programmers to those who waste time.

Wastin' time with all the chat room yakkers
Critiquing individuals who spend excessive time in chat rooms instead of focusing on meaningful pursuits.

9 to 5, chillin' at Hewlett Packard
Describing a mundane, routine job at a known tech company, emphasizing the contrast between the corporate job and the passion for technology.

Workin' at a desk with a dumb little placard?
Skeptically questioning the value of a typical office position that seems uninspiring or unoriginal.

Yeah, payin' the bills with my mad programming skills
Proudly acknowledging the ability to earn a living through advanced coding abilities.

Defraggin' my hard drive for thrills
Finding excitement in technical tasks that others might find tedious, demonstrating passion for technology.

I got me a hundred gigabytes of RAM
Boasting about having a substantial amount of computer memory, symbolizing power and capability.

I never feed trolls and I don't read spam
Indicating maturity and savvy in online interactions, choosing not to engage with negativity or irrelevant content.

Installed a T1 line in my house
Describing having a fast internet connection at home, highlighting a tech-savvy lifestyle.

Always at my PC, double-clickin' on my mizouse
Constantly engaged with technology and digital activities, reinforcing the importance of being connected.

Upgrade my system at least twice a day
A dedication to maintaining and enhancing technology frequently, reflecting the fast-paced nature of the tech world.

I'm strictly plug-and-play, I ain't afraid of Y2K
Demonstrating confidence in technology and its usability, and not fearing potential issues like the Y2K bug.

I'm down with Bill Gates, I call him 'Money' for short
Quipping about a close affiliation or admiration for one of the richest and most influential figures in tech.

I phone him up at home and I make him do my tech support
Playfully suggesting that the artist has connections that can provide help, underlining their expertise.

It's all about the Pentiums, what?
Reiterating the central theme of the lyrics—that superior technology is crucial for success.

You've gotta be the dumbest newbie I've ever seen
Mocking an inexperienced user, indicating frustration at their lack of understanding.

You've got white-out all over your screen
Insulting someone for poorly managing their technology, implying they're outdated.

You think your Commodore 64 is really neato
Laughing at someone who clings to outdated technology, highlighting a generational gap.

What kinda chip you got in there, a Dorito?
Sarcastically questioning the quality of someone's hardware by comparing it to a snack.

You're usin' a 286? Don't make me laugh
Dismissing someone for using significantly outdated computer technology.

Your Windows boots up in what, a day and a half?
Joking about the sluggish performance of an old computer system.

You could back up your whole hard drive on a floppy diskette
Pointing out the inadequacy of someone's storage capacity relative to modern standards.

You're the biggest joke on the Internet
Implying that the person is laughable due to their tech ignorance.

Your database is a disaster
Criticizing incompetence in data management, showcasing ineptness.

You're waxin' your modem, tryin' to make it go faster
Mocking outdated attempts to improve technology rather than upgrading it.

Hey fella, I bet you're still livin' in your parents' cellar
Insinuating that the individual is socially or financially stagnant.

Downloadin' pictures of Sarah Michelle Gellar
Teasing someone for spending time on trivial internet activities rather than improving their skills.

And postin' 'Me too' like some brain-dead AOL-er
Mocking the repetitive and trivial contributions in online spaces, indicating lack of originality.

I should do the world a favor and cap you like Old Yeller
Making a bold statement about removing someone's influence due to their uselessness.

You're just about as useless as jpegs to Hellen Keller
Making a compelling analogy to highlight the individual's complete inefficacy in the tech space.

It's all about the Pentiums, baby
Reiterating that mastery of technology and computer systems is paramount.

Now, what y'all wanna do?
Once again prompting the audience to consider their own paths and goals.

Wanna be hackers? Code crackers? Slackers
Re-emphasizing the different paths in technology, questioning the choices people make.

Wastin' time with all the chat room yakkers
Criticizing the trend of aimless chatter in online spaces instead of productive work.

9 to 5, chillin' at Hewlett Packard
Revisiting the image of a mundane corporate job, again contrasting it with the excitement of tech skill.

Uh, uh, loggin' in now, wanna run wit my crew, hah?
Connecting with like-minded individuals in tech, feeling a sense of community or camaraderie.

Rule cyberspace and crunch numbers like I do?
Proclaiming dominance in the digital realm through skill and savvy.

They call me the king of the spreadsheets
Proudly asserting expertise in data management and analysis.

Got 'em printed out on my bedsheets
Humorously highlighting the extent of the singer's engagement with spreadsheets.

My new computer's got the clocks, it rocks
Admiring the advanced features of a new computer, reflecting modern technological standards.

But it was obsolete before I opened the box
Commenting on the rapidly changing nature of technology and how quickly things become outdated.

You say you've had your desktop for over a week?
Sarcastically questioning how anyone could be proud of such old technology.

Throw that junk away, man, it's an antique
Dismissing old tech as worthless and outdated, not worth keeping.

Your laptop is a month old, well that's great
Dismissing the value of something that is still considered outdated within tech trends.

If you could use a nice, heavy paperweight
Sarcastically suggesting that the laptop's performance is so poor that it could better serve as a paperweight.

My digital media is write-protected
Ensuring that important files are secure from being altered or deleted, emphasizing responsibility.

Every file inspected, no viruses detected
Assuring diligence and caution in digital practices, underscoring the importance of cybersecurity.

I beta tested every operation system
Demonstrating experience and expertise by participating in pre-release software testing.

Gave props to some, and others, I dissed 'em
Acknowledging various technologies, giving credit to the good ones while dismissing the poor.

While your computer's crashin', mine's multitaskin'
Contrasting productivity between two users, showcasing superior tech capability.

It does all my work without me even askin'
Highlighting advanced technology that automates tasks and frees up time.

Got a flat-screen monitor forty inches wide wide
Displaying pride in owning large, modern display technology for better visual experiences.

I believe that your says 'Etch-A-Sketch' on the side
Mocking the low quality of someone else's technology by comparing it to a child's toy.

In a 32-bit world, you're a 2-bit user
Saying that someone is stuck in the past with outdated capabilities in a modern tech landscape.

You've got your own newsgroup, 'Alt.total-loser'
Sarcastically suggesting that the person's online presence is focused on self-deprecation.

Your motherboard melts when you try to send a fax
Joking about inept hardware that fails to function properly under simple tasks.

Where'd you get your CPU, in a box of Cracker Jacks?
Insulting the quality of someone's computer components by comparing it to a cheap toy.

Play me online? Well, you know that I'll beat you
Confidence in gaming skills, promising a win against less skilled opponents.

If I ever meet you I'll control-alt-delete you
Implying that they can terminate or overpower the competition easily.

It's all about the Pentiums, baby
Reaffirming the central theme of technology being crucial for success.

What y'all wanna do?
Prompting the audience once more to consider their aspirations.
