INTRO (LARS):
It's the "Revenge of the Nerds"... part two! Featuring the most rappers I've ever had on one track. Hey Mega Ran, Beefy, Schäffer the Darklord, SkyBlew, MC Frontalot, YTCracker, LEX the Lexicon Artist and Former Fat Boys! Let's collaborate remotely!
MC LARS:
Look at everything we’ve done since the last one dropped (dropped)
Snowden, Hamilton, achievement unlocked (locked)!
“Weird Al” on the charts - with the number spot (spot)
Still Easy as Pi with our VPNs blocked, like
3.1415926535897932384626433 (sure, we’re)
Anonymous autonomous, with documents synonymous
It’s feeling like Metropolis our futuristic monolith
Through twenty years of touring in a small rental van
Learned nerdcore fans are the best in the land!
Socially distant for decades, it's great!
My clique’s twice as sick, COVID38
Though coronavirus canceled some shows
Here’s quarantine track with every rapper I know
CHORUS:
We've been pushed down in the dirt
But now we're chillin on sand
It's paradise in the future
Nintendo Switch in our hands
Teased cuz we're fat or we're squirts
Now it's our names on your shirts
We think it's time that you learned
We think it's time that you heard
We think it's time we stood up
We think it's time we returned
We think it's time we were heard
This is the "Revenge of the Nerds II"
MEGA RAN:
(Ran!) Fake it 'till you make it, make it till it's greatness
Face it, we here, and you can't escape it!
Flow remaining gorgeous, you remaining dormant
Doing it before they had a name for it!
Saw a hole in the game, so I filled it
Got bullied, it was too much to deal with
Man, he ain't got a stomach for the realness
So I saw a mic and a stage, and I killed it!
It seems I fit the description of a kid who would skip his detentions
The lesson I learned is don't ask for forgiveness
Be dope and they give you permission (okay!)
Y'all know what time it is, the goal's always dominance
Never imagined a nerd would rise to prominence
Shy kid on the mic shining that shoulda been common sense
YTCrack told y'all on "Mega Nerd"
Best beats best show, most clever words
Most friendly, dope MCs, now put it all together
Be the best that you ever heard
Lambdas, nice with the stanzas!
Brighter than Kansas, heighten the standards
Better remember you heard
Gritty reboot of "Revenge of the Nerds"!
BEEFY:
I think I'd better put it simply
Back in elementary I would be dead meat
Since then, I'm swinging harder than I'm Gimli
But found a new horizon, turned a new leaf
But I worry for the future of this nerdcore
Some of them don't really know what they was in for
Hoping that I'm still worthy like I'm fat Thor
I said I like a lot of little nerds, so I made more
Now my babies running first place
Posing by the bookcase, anticipate their mixtapes
Pretend I'm not amazed just to save face
Hooked 'em on a tabletop phase after one taste
Imagine thinking that I'm phony
Never played Zelda, never liked a Little Pony
While I'm playing every station like I'm Sony
Holler at those people throwing hate, they don't know me
I'm here to cheer for the long run
Eliminating all the fear till it's all fun
When I come in all sincere they don't want none
Like a twenty sided die, so they get stunned
We got picked on and it sucked
Collectively had enough
So if you're down on your luck
Know that we don't care bout that stuff!
SCHAFFER THE DARKLORD:
Before I put pedals to floor mats, when my fans were a handful of dorm rats
I saw what I want like a Rorschach, I was too morally poor to afford that
So I slipped into purple and wore black, and I rode in like Death upon horseback
With a lore that first formed back in the nineties with rhymes I recorded on a 4-track
I made some friends, and we toured and made memories
Building our skills and a legacy
I made some mistakes, but like, them's are the breaks
And so bridges were burned and earned enemies
I found my calling, and I got a following
Bottles of bitter pills, swallowed 'em
Now I make a living, I take what I'm given
While armies of misfits are hollering
CHORUS:
We've been pushed down in the dirt
But now we're chillin on sand
It's paradise in the future
Nintendo Switch in our hands
Teased cuz we're fat or we're squirts
Now it's our names on your shirts
We think it's time that you learned
We think it's time that you heard
We think it's time we stood up
We think it's time we returned
We think it's time we were heard
This is the "Revenge of the Nerds II"
SKYBLEW:
See my story is a tad off beat
From the streets to foster homes, found a retreat
In the games I compete in, I didn't wanna keep beefing
On weekends, mind off the deep end dreaming
I was in a cartoon universe
Where they don't die over colors combining diverse souls into one space
Running home like I crossed over 3rd base
So I can watch Toonami, later on Tommy and Chucky
With cereal tricks, PS1 if I'm lucky, trust me
Dreams, video games, life, love anime
Cartoons and a ink pen - Were my keys through the locked doors
Then I plugged in to the music like an aux cord
Oh lord! Doubled up with the greats
Super Mario with fly suit and cape
MC FRONTALOT:
Frontalot been up in this business for a minute now -- Hm!
Roll the windows down I’m leaning out -- Hm!
Act as if you don’t see me now, I don’t mind!
Put the record on and be like "Who’s that guy?"
I don’t sigh, express myself only verbally, thick with hyperbole
Pledge devotion to the nerd you get a fleur-de-lis -- Ah!
Certainly I took it down deep internally
Made me chafe at every graceless nerdcore absurdity!
YTCRACKER:
Revenge is a dish
Served at temperature colder than this
In the world of the switch
Blow you a kiss blow up a cap
Save me a spot on the beat for a rap
Used to ignore me now put a fist in the face of the normies
Flexing my army make origami
The papers encased by the waist near my Johnny
Illuminerdy the journey subverting the flurry of versions
Occurring through agile endurance
The crypto insurance
I carry to bury the state if they testing
My weapon expression
Born in America born to inherit a throne in my era
To swear to the spam born with a mic in my hand tell my fam
Go and hustle that work on demand
LEX THE LEXICON ARTIST:
I used to be a bully then they bullied me back
But they left my self-determination fully intact
I took a look in my past, to see that I was the problem
Now that I have come to solve 'em nothing’s holding me back
I got a mind full of messages, a pen full of pages
Shot up half a dozen levels like I’m crushing my stages
I want the gatekeepers raging when my name makes papers
That a crazy weird Asian could waste the tastemakers
When you write off the work cause you hate on the label
You’re taking diversity off of the table
If bias is something you’re in opposition to
Know I'm a way better Alex to listen to
If you don’t dig it, well you’re missing a lot
You can call us nonconformist when we're calling the shots
And not a virus could stop us, we got the power of thought
We’ll chase a white hot destiny with all that we've got
It’s like that
CHORUS:
We've been pushed down in the dirt
But now we're chillin on sand
It's paradise in the future
Nintendo Switch in our hands
Teased cuz we're fat or we're squirts
Now it's our names on your shirts
We think it's time that you learned
We think it's time that you heard
We think it's time we stood up
We think it's time we returned
We think it's time we were heard
This is the "Revenge of the Nerds II"
FORMER FAT BOYS:
Do I even want my nerd pin?
Honorary member of a Star Wars garrison
But when I make a Zoom call 'cause I'm a COVID shut-in
Can I be sure that some G-men
Or maybe China can, listen in?
Can I trust literally anything
With a Wi-Fi connection?
Or social media messagin'
Used to sway an election
And all our heroes
With the ones and the zeros
Marc Zuckerberg and Sergey Brin
First-gen alpha nerds went
Full libertarian
Authoritarian, it's scary man
Talking bout the iGeneration
But maybe the next iteration
Nerd 2.0 will bring a flow
To the internet nation
And we'll all go
White hat, black hat nah
Let's call 'em rainbow hats
Bringing private data back
With no data caps
Gen Z nerdlings
Need to bring the tri lambs back
I'm concerned my gen's nerds turned
Into alpha beta jerks
So let's get revenge again shoutin' these words:
