This one is for the techies. Only Won released a music video for his single “Lyrical Engineer.” His track is laced with technical terms to bring out the engineer in you. If you’ve studied engineering, you’ll get the numerous science, math and gadget references making it an anthem for the “technically-minded” around the world. It’s nerd core rap. The video chronicles Only Won’s double life as a mechanical engineer and hip-hop star. Get ready to geek out to the Lyrical Engineer.

Lyrics to Lyrical Engineer by Only Won
This is for all you technically minded individuals out there.
See I be that Lyrical Engineer
Only the technically minded will know what I’m talkin’ about here (2x)
6am gotta get outa bed
got this funny feeling comin’ straight outa my head
Waiting for the alarm, ready to start a new day
But it’s tough cuz I was up all night on Ebay
and playing video games, you know I hooked up my Atari.
to the surround sound system and HDTV
*palm pilot beeps* oh that be my palm pilot
don’t tell me I can’t see it cuz I got small eyelets
Gotta put on my glasses, been wearing them since six
can barely see my kicks, thinkin’ about getting lasik
so I can see my degree, got my bachelors in ME
took the EIT, now I’m a licenced PE
Kickin it w/ EE’s & CE’s at NEC and HP
I’m the Overachieving Geek…AKA the OG!
Hook:
See I be that lyrical Engineer
Only the technically minded will know what I’m talkin’ about here
It doesn’t matter how you look or the clothes that you wear
All that it matters is that you’re technically aware
See I be that lyrical Engineer
“Fluid dynamics, quantum physics”
See I be that lyrical Engineer
“Electrical circuits, Thermodynamics”
Gotta make that commute to the Silicon valley
Took a detour so had to use my Rand McNally
but I had it on my laptop hooked to the GPS
Don’t need commuter stress, gotta swerve with finesse
Bluetooth headset on so I can drive with both hands
Gotta hurry to the office, got wires to land
Red stapler in office in my 6×6 cubicle
Office space and Dilbert be my American Idol
Leaning to the side in my Lincoln Navigator
moving much faster than a particle accelerator
SLAM! I feel like atoms being collided
With holy hip hop, you gotta bump it when you ride it
Oh wait, got no gator, Got the VehiCROSS concept
An engineering marvel you best not take a wrong step
I got Torque on Demand with cutting edge propulsion
Standard with a computer controlled variable induction
Hittin’ the beats…man, only God can engineer this
you better turn this up in case you can’t hear this
Hook:
See I be that lyrical Engineer
Only the technically minded will know what I’m talkin’ about here
It doesn’t matter how you look or the clothes that you wear
All that it matters is that you’re technically aware
See I be that lyrical Engineer
“Mechanics of materials, Robotics, statics”
See I be that lyrical Engineer
“Heat Transfer, Magnetics, Vector Mechanics”
Ya know it’s tough being an engineer
Designing gears and calculating elasticity of shear
I can’t go on dates cuz my design project’s late
Be workin’ onsite till quarter past 8
or 9…sometimes even past midnight
Technicians be trippin’, tellin’ me that my beat’s tight.
gotta put on my bunny suit in that clean room environment
Class 1 fab with no particulates or allergens
work on servos in the motors and Robotics with encoders
got body odor, need a shower, got no time for free loaders
I must say I’m thankful; God’s blessed me with a mind
With AutoCAD I can design a machine right on time
Need to design a ship that can go faster & faster
So that maybe one day I can finally work for NASA
*whew* Gotta get my head out that panel
so I can finally go home and watch Discovery Channel
Se I be that Lyrical Engineer
Only the technically minded will know what I’m talkin’ about here (2x)
18 yrs of rappin’ but may never see the Grammies
But at least I can understand thermodynamics
2 yrs of Calculus solving differential equations
I be that lyrical engineer with that Asian persuasion
Sometimes I be chillin’ and be listening to the news and
thinkin’ about theories and the principles of Cold Fusion
Look like a nerd, and not a babemagnet
But got more toys than inspector Gadget
Like I don’t use film cuz my camera’s strictly digital
woulda been a miracle to get a JPEG of Jerrico.
So when will girls call me? When they can’t boot their PC’s?
Sorry Ladies, I’m goin’ back to my Atari!
