Optimus Rhyme Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What the fizuck! st-ta-start compulsionary tubing
Ca-ca-ca-ca-carburetor ah-ah-ah-ah move-n-move
Modulator regula-le-lating breath flow
A part-a part of a battery ???
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-loading reserve energy systems
Systematically check my syllable count A-E-I-O-U-U-O-I-E-A, hey
Voice command completed
Overheated tubes, biochemical lubes have been applied
Red wires aside my board is running; I’m alive
Self-consciousness microchip, dismiss this crucial element
And it went: my name is Wheelie
Alignment: Autobeat, Assignment: Whackacon
Kill off memory capacity five filler overwritten
Narcofunk never getting bitten
Just bootin’ up the bot next to me
[Broken English]
Connect the negative and puh-uh-positive terminals
Now I'm letting guh-uh-go of the darkness, puh-uh-peripherals
Starting to muh-uh-make sense I’m at 12 percent latency
You cuh-uh-can't stuh-uh-stop me
Now plug speaker wire in to my COM link
You think rust is a sign of cuh-uh-complacence
Face it that thoughts wasted
My nano techs been souping up Pentium chips for years in the buh-uh-basement
Fuck a reboot forget control+alt+delete
This Autobeats powers hitting its peak
Went from dirty warehouses to hitting the street
A new face to the elements a yuh-uh-unique
Finally complete you’re 'bout to witness
Hip-hop in its truest form lyrical sickness
That’s how we did this so raise up a metal fist
And get ready to spark that shit, it’s the Optimus
In Optimus Rhyme's song Reboot, Wheelie and Broken English describe the process of starting up their Autobeat robotic systems through various technical jargons. Wheelie raps about the compulsory tubing and the carburetor, while Broken English mentions connecting the negative and positive terminals and plugging in the singer wire. The two rap artists personify their robotic systems and describe the inner workings of the technology that brings them to life. They further highlight their autonomy in relation to their self-consciousness microchips and the control they possess over their own programming.
The lyrics of Reboot draw parallels between the intricacies of technology and the complexities of the human psyche. The artists use technical jargon to depict the process of starting up their Autobeat systems as a metaphor for human consciousness. They imply that we too have a self-consciousness microchip that determines our autonomy and programming. Furthermore, just as technology can be souped up with the right tinkering, humans can enhance their own abilities and reach their full potential through hard work and dedication.
