0xdade - Keep Moving Forward Lyrics

I was sittin in my dorm room, just a dumb kid
Started hacking for fun now I'm hacking just to live
That first injection like sql in my brain
That dopamine release and I'm on the hype train
I sent them an email from a burner, let em know
Then I disappeared, class was over, time to go
Walking into work the very next day
Saw bout a hundred cops from all around the state
I pulled my hood up tight and I called my boss
"I think I'm getting sick, (cough cough)" I coughed
I ran back to my room and I wiped my PC
Thought to myself it couldn't happen to me
I looked in the mirror and my hat was black
That's it, I thought, there's no turning back
You got started late, Keep movin forward
You made some mistakes , Keep movin forward
You don't know what's next, Keep movin forward
You're feelin so stressed, Keep movin forward
You're full of self hate, Keep movin forward
You can't concentrate, Keep movin forward
You're feelin depressed, Keep movin forward
You're not at your best, Keep movin forward
Fast forward, summer, lulzsec was running wild
New job, new place, no longer just a child
Jumped into anonops, loving IRC
I torrent, u torrent, so much piracy
Need a way to hack so I bought a thinkpad _
Off a guy on Craigslist he said it's pretty bad
Cost a hundred bucks and the battery sucks
The hard drive don't work I was all outta luck _
Spent a month learning Linux, and I built a USB
It booted up live, Linux lit up my screen
Easy to erase just pull the power plug
Connected up to Tor and I was back on my drug
Back to black hat school, class was in session
Every free hour spent pouring over lessons
No girls no friends a little league of legends
That's how I spent my late adolescence
You got started late, Keep movin forward
You made some mistakes , Keep movin forward
You don't know what's next, Keep movin forward
You're feelin so stressed, Keep movin forward
You're full of self hate, Keep movin forward
You can't concentrate, Keep movin forward
You're feelin depressed, Keep movin forward
You're not at your best, Keep movin forward
A few months later I got a phone call
My buddy's been raided it's time to burn it all
Hung up my hat and I never looked back
There's gotta be a safer way I can hack
Focused on school and I did really well _
Opportunities abound when I applied myself
Later that year I got offered a job _
Flew to Cali with a backpack, dressed like a slob
Changed my whole life in just a few months
Had money for lunch and savings for once
Made some new friends and we had a good time
I was feelin so good I was feelin sublime
Somethin was lurkin in the back of my mind
Every night at home I was thinkin about crime
Askin myself how to do it full time I was
Askin myself how to do it full time
You got started late, Keep movin forward
You made some mistakes , Keep movin forward
You don't know what's next, Keep movin forward
You're feelin so stressed, Keep movin forward
You're full of self hate, Keep movin forward
You can't concentrate, Keep movin forward
You're feelin depressed, Keep movin forward
You're not at your best, Keep movin forward
A friend hit me up, said "let's go to defcon"
Wasn't too long and I had my badge on
Got back on Twitter, started talking to strangers
First time in Vegas, wary of the danger
Guy named darkmatter said let's link up
My first con friend so we had to drink up
No cactus no kraken just the wrist HUD
He even gave me one, I knew we were buds
Looking for work in security
Emailing managers sincerely
One of them told me to go talk to Toby
I reached out to Toby and he got to know me
Toby led the red team and they got to hack
He taught me red team is much more than that
I put in extra hours just to try to impress and
When he offered me a job, of course I said yes
You got started late, Keep movin forward
You made some mistakes , Keep movin forward
You don't know what's next, Keep movin forward
You're feelin so stressed, Keep movin forward
You're full of self hate, Keep movin forward
You can't concentrate, Keep movin forward
You're feelin depressed, Keep movin forward
You're not at your best, Keep movin forward
