Original Digital Gangsters - MC Lars, YTCracker, Dual Core

The original digital gangsters

Rhymes from the future that will take you to the past

Breaking up the beats so hard they got a cast

Make you say the int, and Lars and YT so cash

Remember Hotline?

The Red H was incredible

Shareware app cracks, my server was indelible

Before AOL, eWorld and IRC

Prodigy was the first home computing ISP

My user handle?

SPSN82B

2400 baud on Dad’s Mac SE

That’s when I, upgraded to my Mom’s LC

To Netscape up on UseNet back in 1993

My BBS was super fresh HyperCard shot callin'

A YTCracker mighty hacker, hardly caught ballin'

ReBirth was fat, Cubase was poppin'

MIDI and MOD synths quantized and rockin'

mp3.com had the Bentframe Comedy

The Ghost in the Machine brought the digital harmony

The Internet was dangerous, the Internet was fun

Before Dual Core dropped still got things done

It’s back to the future from the top of the totem

Through these two copper wires // A line and a modem

From the days when Usenet used to have a grammar code

Before the mirror in your bathroom ever met your camera phone

The BBS mothership: sailed for the piracy

People on the web were concerned with their privacy

Net neutrality is killing me (TRUE)

What did telecoms do with money from me and you?

From the old school (old fool) where we serve and we leech

Give me free as in beer, give us free as in speech

Reverse engineering to stabilize the protocol

Up on IRC watching stolen cards overdraw

We were coders, carders, and gamers

Now we’re nerdcore bangers, MySpace gangsters

Web 2.0 doesn’t even stand a chance

If you diss P2P just to go hand-to-hand

old fish in a young pond

still phishing your account with a rolly on my arm

roll you then I’m gone four nineteen chop ya dollar

sit a little taller than my contemporaries

I’m a little scary when I’m on the grind

experian and equifax had em on the line

used 'em all the time when i pulled the info

address and your social all up in my window

if i got your ip we can pull your nis

'Cause we got a bunch of databases think you get the gist

don’t get angry, don’t get pissed 'cause you see us pulling cris

and we make you ball a fist at your puter we dont miss

saw us up at defcon popping bottles getting gone

but you don’t wanna see us on your screen

'Cause int80, Lars and YT make a killer team

and you know that were respected in the scene, ya feel me?

the original digital gangsters

rhymes from the future that will take you to the past

breaking up the beats so hard they got a cast

make you say that int and lars and yt so cash
