[Verse 1]
In the past, the internet didn't have video yet
Then there came a website called YouTube to make it right
240p was the size of a video and the audio was mono, not stereo
You could not upload a song longer than ten minutes long
Then we got a data boost, new features were introduced

[Verse 2]
Quality increased from 240 pixels in 360
And YouTube added an option to watch videos in 3GP
Hey, hey! Netflix, Ustream, Roku and let's not forget Apple TV
Another data boost as we got used to browsing audiovisually
Eee, eee

[Verse 3]
Suddenly, we're in the realm of HD
A whole new level of quality, 720p and we went from 4:3
Black bars on the side to full widescreen
With faster data plans and broadband
It's like your holding a whole cinema in your hand
I hope you brought your 3D specs
So you can see what's coming up next, huh

[Verse 4]
720p was clearly never sufficient
So boost to 1080, improve your vision of the screen
As the videos streams
Automatic subtitles transcribe your speech
Vevo, ThumbsUp and HTML5
I can't imagine the size of the disk drives, it's like
Bandwidth gets bigger every minute
We need another data boost just so we can keep up with it
[Verse 5]
The scene's a sea, we're swimming deep within it
Singers, streamers, comedians, memers, Keems
It seems we're keen to reach the limit, it's our forte
Everything that came before was foreplay
But of course, were going to raise the rate to 4K with more frames
Enabling smoother views of your games
YouTubers are huge news for the new youth
Old media bequeathing the future and leaving it to you
I think you know by now what we need to do: boost

[Verse 6]
Now, it's natural that we are
Becoming compatible with VR, caviar
Running in 8K colour space capable of displaying HDR
360 degrees, it must seen for it to be believed
It must be heard, just like the word, "Skrt skrt!"
I don't know what that even means
All I know is everything is getting more excessive
Every morning, I see something that is ever more impressive
All my messages amassing even faster than I get 'em
The progression is so fast that I cannot even get a breath in
What do you think of the fact
I'm bringing the track back from the beginning of rap?
Fresh as cinnamon baps and in the middle of that
Dan's reminiscing about video stats
Still managing to kill it with brilliant facts
He really is fast
