I GOT THE MIND OF A HACKER
I GOT THE HEART OF A HUSTLER
I GOT THE BLOOD OF MY MOTHER
AND THE SOUL OF MY FATHER
CAUSE I AIN’T GOING BACK TO SLANING IN THE STREET
GOTTA
CAUSE I AIN’T BACK TO SELLING DOPE NO MORE
I USE TO BE THE FIRST ONE IN FRONT OF THE CORNER STORE
WIT BAGS OF THE RAW I USE TO KEEP IT GULLLY LIKE MUDUSA
STAYING OUT ALL NIGHT STILL CROWING WITH THE ROOSTERS
BUT I AIN’T PUTTING MY SELF DOWN IN THE HOLE
GOTTA FIND BETTER WAYZ TO STACK MY DOE
I GOT THE MIND OF A HACKER
I GOT THE HEART OF A HUSTLER
I GOT THE BLOOD OF MY MOTHER
AND THE SOUL OF MY FATHER
MOMMY TAUGHT ME REAL NICE STUPID DUMP QUICK
SHE SAID SON YOU’RE MY FAVORITE SON
I SAID MA I’M YOUR ONLY SON
SHE SAID SON STOP PLAYING AROUND CAUSE GOING TO HAVE TO BE YOUR ON KING IF YOU WANNA CROWN RISEN AS HIGH AND AS BRIGHT AS THE HORIZON
KEEP YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND SO I CONNECT INTELLECTS ON THE INTERNET
DOING THING AND PLACES I HAVN’T EVEN SEEN YET AND THIS I ACHIEVE YOU CAN BELIEVE HOLDING CYBERSPACE DOWN WITH NOTHING BUT SEEDS THAT GROW STRONG! THROUGH GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT BUT U AIN’T FEELING MY STYLE THAT COMES FROM DEEP IN THE ESSENCE
I GOT THE MIND OF A HACKER
I GOT THE HEART OF A HUSTLER
I GOT THE BLOOD OF MY MOTHER
AND THE SOUL OF MY FATHER
BUT DADDY DIDN’T BOTHER CAME AROUND A COUPLE YEARS AFTER COLLEGE
MY ONLY SUN SEE MY POLISH TO THE CAPITOL P YEAH SOON TO BE MY PRODIGY
STUDYING TO MASTER THE SCHOOLS OF GEOMETRY THE GREATER AND LESSER TRICKS OF TRICKNOLOGY AFTER ALL THIS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IT GOES A LITTLE SOMETHING LIKE
MIC CHECK
INFORMATION TECHNOLEDGE
UNFORTUNATELY THEY HAVE US CAUGHT IN A DIGITAL DIVIDE USING YESTERDAY INFORMATION PORTALS IS LEAVING US A STEP BEHIND WE’RE OUR BIGGEST SUPPORTERS

I GOT THE MIND OF A HACKER
I GOT THE HEART OF A HUSTLER

Control freak, I soul seek a beat with a constant connection
So you know that it’s on

Chorus:
Welcome to Game World
Where you can receive more good things than you can believe
It’s easy as pie like 1, 2, 3
Hold out your hand and come follow me
Welcome to Game World
Verse One:
Double Click
Need your credit card to verify your age
Click for the next page
Do you wanna shoot clowns off the stage
Do you wanna drive fast cars
Maybe a stick up kid
Or slam bones likes cats doing a bid
People moving slow with viruses on their C-Drive
Trial membership a buck
But I’ll charge five
My man’s playing matching pic with Heather Hunter
Ever wonder where life goes when we aurally or orally charged
With our eyes and ears closed
Don’t worry we got your info off your cookies
We got legal scams through spam cause we’re your online bookie
Caught in the online sims connecting dots what’s the picture (I dunno)
Might as well blow one cause your blowing your brain in this online train
Chorus:
Welcome to Game World
Where you can receive more good things than you can believe
It’s easy as pie like 1, 2, 3
Hold out your hand and come follow me

Chorus:
Lately, I’ve been tryin’ to find somebody that I agree with
And I’ve been searching high and low all over this city to find it
But my search came to no avail
So Black planet, Yahoo and A.O.L.
I’m bout to log on and get on line and I hope I meet somebody real
Verse: Mercury Rising
Single Black male,
Own car, own job, internet access
So if
I can be on Black planet in like… 3 seconds
(you try’n to meet somebody special?)
Ayo, it could happen… so I’m clickin’ & draggin’, sittin’ & chattin’ and
Frequently you run into freaks, cyber sex is the way they speak, they in heat
And occasionally you find somebody deep and if it’s sweet
You might make it an occasion to meet
And Me?
I got D.C.,
Why stay around
I’ll leave for a week or two
I might ride out or fly out if it’s possible to just play peek-a-boo
With a girl I already know I like speakin’ to cuz…
Verse: Adonis
I’m done with clubs, got a new hang out
Meet shorties from New Jeruse
Ms. Thang’s from the south
(doubleclick) Now I’m chillin on the mainframe’s couch
Ain’t gotta watch for cats pullin’ them thangs out
ADONIS_78, yeah I put my name out
Rasheeda from Philly and a few others came out, that’s how we got peeps all over
Business outta town, know that we can post up
Told us, if we ever need a sofa just look her up and she world show love
Sometimes I go by “MistaMista” just to switch up, Ma send ya pictures
(let it be yo ass) Don’t send ya sista’s
If this’ll last, can’t begin with mistrust
I keep’em laughin out loud
Via
Verse: Aydedee’s sing/rap
Cuz I been patiently waitin, tryin’ to find a girl that I can have a conversation with
I.M., e-mail or whatever
Next comes phone calls we can get together
And even if you live far away from me, at least we know we can talk daily
I’ll be in the classroom, meet me in the chatroom
A/S/L girl holla at me.
By Jameela featuring Str8 Caine
Caine: Yeah! It’s ya boy, Str8 Caine
Doing what I do
But before I get into all that
I got somebody that you need to holla at you
Verse One:
Oooh! It’s a holiday
Simply ‘cause I plan to do this my way
Leave the men at home
So we can celebrate
Everything we do like it’s a play-date
Le me check my palm pilot
Make sure that I’m free
Yes I’m right tonight’s my night
I need to take time out for me
Chorus:
Here in my city, near the middle of the land of the free
It’s the sound of T-Town
To all the world, this is how we gettin’ down
So as we move ahead, it’s about that time
Show me what you got
This is how we move, this is how we roll
This is how we rock, here in this spot
Caine: Log in and get my browse on Just chattin’ on cell phone
Lookin’ to see what crackin’ who there phone
Instant messages I check’em out and respond
And kick back and tryin’ to see what they on, yeah!
Verse Two:
Am I’m just about ready
My honey waxed and shined by ride
My girl just texted, it’s
And that’s cool, I just need to take a break
They come so few, far and in between
Sisters can you relate that it’s a holiday
When you can take a little time, why don’t you spend a little time
Thinking about taking out some time, time out for me!
Chorus:
Here in my city, near the middle of the land of the free
It’s the sound of T-Town
To all the world, this is how we gettin’ down
So as we move ahead, it’s about that time
Show me what you got
This is how we move, this is how we roll
This is how we rock, here in this spot
Caine: Yea-up! I’m still on page
Str8 Caine-dot-back slash
Stay on blaze
In a word perfect down low heat
Pop up block up
With virus protection
No they won’t serve me
This is how we move, this is how we roll, this is how we rock
Caine: Nope it don’t stop
This is the gateway to the future
Get linked or they mute you
Technology’s moving it’s about time that you should
Browse with me we’ll chill and cruise highways
New fun new sights like every Friday
It’s nothing, try to see me and put this song on
Grab yourself a laptop focus up and log on
Chorus:
Here in my city, near the middle of the land of the free
It’s the sound of T-Town
To all the world, this is how we gettin’ down
So as we move ahead, it’s about that time
Show me what you got
This is how we move, this is how we roll
This is how we rock, here in this spot

Man its hard on these streets, damn near starve on these streets
My peeps eating less and less and the stress hotter than heat
The meek getting weak from the cold of the streets
Stand alone on my feet, discreet as a man
Slow motion, how I’m rolling so controlling it FAM
The notion I wrote it, then blow it from hand as if the winds be blowing
The sands of time
Prince of
Chatter on emails to receive details faster
They come
Master of none, gathering come
Jack-of-all trades, ways may seem infinite, but simple to some
Middlemen pushing pencils not lifting those guns
Borrow a dollar to hit the lotto to get out these slums
Instead, bought a bottle to rid the sorrow to get hollow and numb.
Promise I’ll follow them none, until the angel of death comes and tells me times borrow and up
CHORUS:
It’s so hard on the streets and sometimes we ain’t got nothing to eat
It’s so hard on the streets Lord save we.

One day I’m chillin’ wit my man D
We rollin’ down D-O double R
When we see some eye candy
A little mama 5’6” or so
She was thick fo’ sho’
I hollered at her like Yo
I ain’t never seen a woman like you before
Lady, I’m wonderin’ if one day me and you could go…online,
“Online?” That’s right
You could ride laptop while I’m cyber surfin’ in the ride
My man he can drive while we doin’ what we doin’
Next thing you know she downloadin’ in the cruiser
New we sharin’ data in the Navigator (that’s our transportation)
I’m surprised at how she let me login wit no hesitation
But anyway…A couple days later
I’m rollin’ to the theater
Lookin’ like a damn fool in a top hat and a pair of gators
Not a bit of sense I’m makin’ but screw it, back to the movies
I’m watchin’ “Matrix”
All of a sudden I’m feelin’ screwy
Now I’m dizzy like I’m tipsy but I ain’t been sippin’
Thinkin’ the words “I love you” repeatedly
Am I trippin?
I head straight to the hospital, doctors giglin’
That chick burnt me with somethin’
Now I need PC Cillin
Shoulda had Norton Antivirus, better yet Linux
I let her slip through my Windows, but it’s cool in the end
It ain’t really in my RAM memory
It’s all just pretend, but can you dig?
By: The Undergodz
She thirteen, young beautiful earth queen
but shes thirsting, somewhere deep inside hurting
now a days barely see’s her mom too busy working
but she got to, daddys gone she gotta play pops too
Two gigs, she trying to her daughter into top schools
but truth is, she just wanna feel loved
Like we all do they argue plus times are hard too
so baby girl gets online to find somebody to talk to
started to chat wit an older cat,
who searched for what she needed to hear and told her
that
with nobody to hold her back, she eventually met up
him
mom was watching out for boys and drugs
not knowing that the internet a get em
that’s why, we can’t let the media raise our kids
that’s why, we can’t let the government raise our kids
we can’t let the internet raise our kids
cause when they grow up it shows up so we need to slow
It up
By Legacey
Chorus:
A yo who gots what?
I take shots at pop ups
I’m like the cops but, annoying ads are the hot bust
A yo who gots what?
I take shots at pop ups
I’m like the cops but, annoying ads are the hot bust
Verse One:
Now I come off kinda hard, but I mean this,
I’m not interested in enlarging my penis
No, my next cell won’t be a Nextel, of course sex sells
But I just want to Excel to m next cell
Who wants to be apart of Army of One?
I keep an arm on me son, my mind is my gun!
They’re selling ad-ware, somehow they spy on yall
I’m not buying, who knows what they’re conspiring behind firewall
When I’m researching papers, all I can see
From
Hold up…Stop, I just saw a pop us of a hot slut,
You at work and can’t get caught up
Or you will be brought up as the product of a lot of gossip
It seem you pirates be trying to provide a virus
I can make you die as you cross the iris under my eyelids…
Oh my God! I have instantly won an iPod,
Or a series of DVDs from Species to Die Hard
Now it’s embarrassing, you get killed or torn out,
Because of you we know that Paris Hilton has put a porn out
Chorus
Verse Two:
Okay, I’m tired of naming you lames,
I ain’t trying to win shit from playing these games
Some of these things seems strange, insane or even deranged…
They be selling brains, trains and people in chains,
I can’t skip past the Lycos without the ads from Geico
Or tabloid mags with those white folks taking stabs at Michael
