about

Digital Life - This track was inspired by this trip to Philly I took. I was near my airport gate waiting and just enthused by the digital gear I had on me. HP laptop, iPod mini, headphones, Canon SD800IS camera, Treo 700w, etc I just started writing rhymes. I wrote a lot but put all the best stuff for the first verse, the rest were written later. Musically, this contains a loop I made in 1997/1998 so this is the ultimate in recycling/reusing from oneself... but if you hate this track I guess its more like me drinking my own pee. Oh, it also contains a reworking of lyrics I did for EPP's track "Glutton". "Never stoppin hip-hop or droppin laptops, Akihabra my Tokyo stop"

lyrics

No stress, no strife, it's a digital life x4

digitally alive, packed in the sack
on my back, i'm on track so get back
with my glasses on i'm studious, scholastic
rhymes approach dramatic, drastic
right with blinding white iPod from Apple,
cool like Snapple, i'm on the WAP, fool
packets quick snap, flash memory supplements
like vitamin, firewall up they're not invited in
'lectrical toys and tools, utilitarian, a pleasure
read the white paper for good measure, never
stoppin' hip-hop or droppin' laptops
Ah-kee-habara, my Tokyo stop
cables where they gotta be,
wireless when they can be,
see me, be me, cause the future is me,
Good UI is the way I roll,
wheeled luggage is the way I roll,

No stress, no strife, it's a digital life x4

Lithium-ion juice, gettin' me loose,
always locomotive never(ever) caboose
having my will with mega-pix-ills, chill,
I think Uma's gonna Kill Bill
never a riddle when it comes to tech
never retail, connect direct with the net
book flights and cars online, best deals
you call them steals how I got my wheels
and my wings, e-payments is my thing,
direct deposit for my dollar, cha-ching!
purpose with design, form with function
Treo email even at a nice luncheon
Goog'Map, Double True, I'm sayin to you
the revolution is now YouTube
you can call me, one and zero hero
gettin Joost while you fiddle like Nero

No stress, no strife, it's a digital life x4

HDTVs, plasma, LCD
1080p banshees squawk at me,
to bleed cheese, on a tv need
hook'em all up to my PS3
no worries no strife on what this life brings
make it better with technological things
luddites never havin' the satisfaction
of watching digital life be in action
no stress!

No stress, no strife, it's a digital life x4
