TETRIS
The Adventures of Duane and BrandO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It makes people toss up their hands and scream obscenities.
Don't you know I'm a fuckin' Tetris pro?
I'm about to teach all you newbs geometry.
I'm a fuckin' straight line, takin' four at one time.
Add a Tetris to the high score, making it mine.
Blowin' minds, droppin' lines like I'm Courtney Love.
I'm movin' so fast, down don't matter no more.
I'm on Level-9 bitch, straight clearin' the floor.
Z-block gonna drop and I'll slide myself under.
Down at the arcade they call me the boy wonder.
Everyone's waitin' for me, the coolest block in the game.
Makin' all the other blocks look totally lame.
Saved the day... But I ain't got no name.
My Tetris high score will be my claim to fame.
When I walk down the street, I waddle from side to side.
I ain't got no legs they call me the french fry.
Fuck around and I'll drop ya like a dumb blonde ho.
When you're done with me you'll need Dr. Mario.
Tetris is awesome.
It makes people toss up their hands and scream obscenities.
Don't you know I'm a fuckin' Tetris pro?
I'm about to teach all you newbs geometry.
Playin' Tetris, droppin' blocks right here, over there, everywhere.
That ain't even fair.
I don't even care.
Here's a T, there's an L.
I'm gainin' speed, Level-3, all I need is just a freakin' Square.
Put it over there!
Now I'm on my way to Level-9, scorin' high, blowin' minds, all the freakin' time. (Like it was a crime.)
I'm on fire (I'm on level 9).
I'll retire (I will never die).
No score higher... than mine.
Wait a second BrandO it is my turn to rock! (No!)
Droppin the blocks in the places and shit don't you know that that is how it goes. (I will distract you while you rap.)
Cut it out you fucker it is still my turn to rock! (No!)
That shit is fuckin' annoying you bastard I'm trying to finish the game. (How are you so good with small gaps?)
Cut it out now! (No!)
Really cut it out! (Nope!)
I will start to shout! (So?)
Fuckin' shut your mouth!
I'm motherfuckin' bringing down the roof! Turn, aim, and shoot!
L-Block, T-Block I speak the truth!
I'm the king of this game, and I'm takin' names!
Fuckin' cut it out BrandO I'm resettin' the game!(You will never beat my high score, Duane. Oh shit!)
