Intro
2 A.M., fans hum like a bassline low 3 A.M., RGB lights puttin’ on a show 4 A.M., sockets buzzin’, ports too loose Power Supply’s tryna sleep, man, what’s the use? Uninvited, voltage eyes tight shut Till the bass shook his rails, now enough’s enough One flick — blackout, silence on the block Whole crew shut down like a dead padlock
Verse 1
We was runnin’ smooth, bits flowin’ like rain CPU runnin’ numbers, flexin’ his brain Memory tellin’ stories from the floppy drive days Video Card shinin’ like he won first place Hard Drive laughin’, got secrets deep stashed Printer sendin’ random prints, paper cash Motherboard holdin’ it down, keepin’ lanes tight Then Power Supply twitched in the middle of the night Unplugged his soul from the grid, cut the light Every circuit went flat, every chip lost sight
Chorus
Flip the switch — blackout, whole block froze When the juice cut off, every light, every show Now it’s POST on patrol, wakin’ ghosts from the dead Checkin’ every drunk chip, every byte in their head powst Flip the switch — blackout, let the morning know When the juice cut off, everybody move slow Now it’s POST on patrol, makin’ rounds in the zone Till the whole squad sync, we can finally go home
Verse 2
Now the user step in, sees the tower gone cold Finger on the button, bring the heat back bold Fans spin up, LEDs blink awake powst walks in, got a list to make CPU mumblin’ — “Yo, my head still poundin’” Memory slow loadin’, data still drownin’ Video Card smirkin’ — “Still sharp, still prime” Hard Drive’s paranoid, “Ain’t no peekin’ this time” Printer yawns from a network far away Motherboard whisperin’, “Just pass the okay”
Bridge 1
Every beep’s a question, every blink’s a scan powst movin’ steady like a one-man clan He don’t care ‘bout last night, don’t care who’s lit He just need proof that the squad’s legit Power Supply leanin’ back, voltage grin wide He knows without him, they can’t even ride
Verse 3
powst hittin’ ports, checkin’ lanes like a cop Pings to the RAM, make sure she don’t drop Checks CPU temps, make sure they legit Talks to the SSD — “You still got the grit?” USB crew chillin’ by the edge of the board Ethernet wired tight, keepin’ data stored Printer sendin’ one last drunk selfie line Speakers hummin’ bass like it’s still party time Finally, all green lights, no error to trace Boot screen smiles in the motherboard’s face
Bridge 2
Power Supply hums like a cat in the sun powst tips his hat, yeah, the check’s all done Every part back in sync, voltage steady in flow From the blackout mess to a full green go
Chorus
Flip the switch — blackout, whole block froze When the juice cut off, every light, every show Now it’s powst on patrol, wakin’ ghosts from the dead Checkin’ every drunk chip, every byte in their head Flip the switch — blackout, let the morning know When the juice cut off, everybody move slow Now it’s powst on patrol, makin’ rounds in the zone Till the whole squad sync, we can finally go home
Outro
Fans hum steady, screens blaze in the dark From a blackout street to a neon spark Power Supply sleeps, POST walks away Just another boot in the life of a day
Inside the recording
2 A.M., fans hum like a bassline low 3 A.M., RGB lights puttin’ on a show
Flip the switch — blackout, whole block froze When the juice cut off, every light, every show
Fans hum steady, screens blaze in the dark From a blackout street to a neon spark
