about

Little known fact - I was the worst example of a nerd stereotype as a kid. Straight C's meant I had to be awesome at video games, or flounder about.

lyrics

boxin' out another beat
it's like a looping part of me's
suggesting to the other me
that we could make a solid team
a quartet makin' revelry
it feels so elementary
things aren't always what they seem
it wasn't always meant to be

good God, what a dream!
the kind where you could swear it on your merit
it was not a fabrication
but reality
guessin' as I vocally flex
whether you be hearin' double
or bereft of effects

it's an alchemy, a science
(which was never my forte)
the balance of the bass around
verbacular wordplay
so hated among the elite
and/or stunning
elated cuz fate showed another thing coming

i was under duress
was an easy suppress
had no streamline
hell of irrelevance
and i'd string things
similes, comparitives
this is like the other thing
better than the other noun
lyrical mangling

can't be a nerd
if you can't fit the guidelines
GPA crashburn
sittin' on the sidelines
all the others
quotin' Battlestar and Who
flippin' cards, loved to play
but academically a fool

cuz i'm a joker in the classroom!
social life is level five doomed
shift to 40k, passin' out
from paint fumes
chokin' on the spume
Zilla go boom!
now's the time to show 'em
how my awesomeness consumes

if I said I could move
you wouldn't think so
see me now, front and center
watch me as my body rolls
role play
playin' roles
you the bridge and I'm the troll
EZ Pass, pay the toll
move so funny make you LOL
gyrate
isolate
catalyst like chemicals
activate
raise the rate
exponential status state
here I step up to the plate
hope my mic don't get delayed
hear what I said?
i'm ampin' up the game

i got it, that's the reason
i got your girl believin'
that this young kid with the goggles
got it, shifting with the season
it's my position, even
i go and plant the seed and
before you know it
i'm controlling how you move your feet and
i promise when I'm leadin'
i'll figure how you're feelin'
we gonna' elevate
like elevators leave the street and
you fight for what we're feeding
don't long for what we're leavin'
we round 'em up and then we show them how
to send 'em reeling

we're always trying to be
something we want to achieve
i find it hard to believe
that settling's too good to leave
we'll part the oceans and seas
convert the subject to steam
we're always trying to be
anything and everything we want to achieve

i remember years
checkin' inventory
unskippable story, imploring you to
complete
mundane tasks or duties that you'd otherwise
shoot down
if you didn't have the love in your eyes
preference given to a CD ROM
over textbooks
math tests
all went wrong
discovered my affinity for all things geek
we're callin' the new look the gamer chic

i got it
that's the reason
i got your girl believin'
that this young kid with the goggles
got it, shifting with the season
it's my position, even
i go and plant the seed and
before you know it
i'm controlling how you move your feet and
i promise when I'm leadin'
i'll figure how you're feelin'
we gonna' elevate
like elevators leave the street and
you fight for what we're feeding
don't long for what we're leavin'
we round 'em up and then we show them how
to send 'em reeling

Sip it down
Drink it slow
This is where we want to go
Sip it down
Drink it slow
This is where we want to go
Pulse, wave
Double V
This is where we want to be
Pulse, wave
Double V
This is where we want to be
