George Hotz It Was Called The Cold War Because Russia Is Cold
Yo, Yo
In studio
Much track
Very rap
So, yeah
I was a child in the nineties
Take a ride with me, while we all recall
Walbo and prank phone calls
Bumpers for your bowling ball
And we be hittin' em all cause this is New Jersey
And stay up late but still wake up early
To get to school with your seat belt buckled
Pokemon cards taught me how to hustle
And kids wrote orgy on their backpacks
What did that mean?
When my parents left home for the evening
Googling, I found a splash screen
That asked me if I was 18
Well, basically, of course I'm sure
How does the computer know when I was born
A generation formed by internet porn
Flip, looking back
Through high school romances
All the way back to those little school dances
Prancin' around like I had something to prove
Cause I was just a little kid with nothing to lose
And I was not cool
But not self conscious
Telling the school that they were teaching a monster
Total bullshit that was totally bonkers
And [?] when I was acting obnoxious
I was bottom five in my class
An asshole who barely passed
Whole time spent playing Super Smash
In the senior lounge
I will whoop your ass
You know as stories go
This all happened a while ago
But let's go back now here we go
Hold on tight let's start the show
Yo, yo I didn't always have skills
But you chilled out with the time that you killed
I was online and on my damn grind
Beggin' the question
What'd you do with your time?
Figured it out in my Aunt's basement
Video games and no damn patience
Tech skills and determination
Crossed with the rage and frustration
And I got smarter
And I grew quicker
And I felt sharper
As I blew bigger
Crunchin' that iPhone
Kickin' in the limo with the screen off
Mirror mirror, who's sicker?
Winner, winner
In the green room
Chicken dinner
Is an anachronism
But I'm all over Twitter
[?]
I tuned on an' in, and dropped out
Not clear if I grew up or grew down
Self-doubt
Well I guess I forgot
How a kid to a kid
But I'm pulling my self now
I bought a van, I bought a van
With an energy drink in each hand
Tentatively, going, "fuck plans!"
I was bottom five in my class
An asshole who barely passed
Whole time spent playing Super Smash
In the senior lounge
I will whoop your ass
And you know, as stories go
This all happened a while ago
But let's go back
Now here we go
Dim the lights and restart this show
What did you wanna be when you grew up?
Fantasized from my fourth grade desk
Trying for this nerd with dreams that intersect
With Silicon Valley, eighty West
But none of its what you expect
Dad shows up and you're half-erect
Tears in the eyes of a stunted child
Not a grown man who works in tech
Why, would anybody buy this?
Older now and I still don't get it
Immaturity is a house of cards
Backed by [?] [?]
Locked in an unspoken code of etiquette
Stumble through life
Like you're dosed on sedatives
Houses and cars and wives and kids
I live in a van like a damn degenerate
You have a house with a swimming pool
Let's go rock-climbing, what a tool
Fuck adulthood, irony's cruel
I'm the first geek that peaked in high school
I was bottom five in my class
An asshole who barely passed
Whole time spent playing Super Smash
In the senior lounge
I will whoop your ass
And let's talk about what came to pass
Dropped out with nothing but dreams and skills
You stacked debt just to pass your class
Well I take naps with dollar bills
Sued by Forbes' corporation
A fugitive, when I went on vacation
But all press is good press
So 'sup Sony? Hey, Playstation
And you know, as stories go
This all happened a while ago
But we're here now, 2014
Wind it up and just let it go
Think fast when you type slow
Blindfold on, just feel the code
Don't struggle, transcend them
Use the force, let it go
Headspace like you're moving boulders
Unbridled rage of a child soldier
Barren lifestyle
Barracks lifestyle
Showers in my mind, grow colder
No more [?]
[?]
Not so invincible anymore
But I'm never gonnie die
Upload me and live on as information forevermore
I was bottom five in my class
An asshole who barely passed
Whole time spent playing Super Smash
In the senior lounge
I will whoop your ass
You know as stories go
I'm so glad to be alive now
Thrilled that I'll get to be around
To see how the whole game plays out
I was bottom five in my class
An asshole who barely passed
Whole time spent playing Super Smash
In the senior lounge
I will whoop your ass
You know as stories go
This one is mind control
So hold on tight
Here we go
And watch close
I run this show
