beat and concept originally intended for a multi-collab which didn't happen, still trying to make it happen for Version 2.0
lyrics
In this rap game sometimes it's hard to see what's real
Coz when it comes to poseurs, the scene's a minefield
There's fake MCs everywhere you look
And a few fake nerds who never even cracked a book
-
So do us a favour and wake up
Stop downloading and promoting that fake stuff
We all want a payday, but some take that paycut
Coz it's all about the music, not the bucks
-
but when real nerds step to the mic (that's right)
We spit truth coz it's about life (so tight)
And I think you can count on us (geeks and nerds)
To dispense all the best fresh cuts (oh word?)
-
You can see what the effort is worth (quite a lot)
Coz the geeks shall inherit the earth (that's the plot)
And it's not open for debate (not anymore)
We don't front, there's no need to fake (tell 'em the score)
-
Don't sleep y'all, just peep these dope tracks
So deep you won't want to go back
You know that we got skills to spare
Sayin' "oh, snap!", coz we will declare
-
And even when we gotta rush it
These deadlines are fine, just bust it
No krunk shit, and we don't care 'bout the charts
Can't touch this, coz we're baring our hearts, all in
-
Many sources of inspiration and source files
And source codes kept us going for quite awhile
And yeah I got these spectacles, what did y'all expect of me
Don't you know that, these days, nerds are sexy?
-
No brag intended, tho, I ain't taking credit
It's been a long process, but folks are starting to get it
The Big Bang Theory is part of a larger movement
We've all got a place, so let's do this
-
It's not complicated at all (no joke)
We're in this, we won't drop the ball (go for broke)
And it's not just about the tech (-nology)
It's about how our foes get wrecked (y'all can see)
-
No question, this is our time (oh my)
They can't stop us spitting these rhymes (why try?)
Strength in numbers, don't doubt, it's a scene (tru dat)
And we're ready, it's time to be seen (it's a fact)
-
Sometimes we might get long-winded
And, yeah, sometimes it's intended
In the end it's clear that we're all standing tall
We extend this invitation to all
-
So trust in the force of progress
That train's on the tracks, can't stop this
we've locked this, and we do all we can
we got this, and we're not going anywhere
