This original rap music video made for JavaOne 2011 celebrates the Java Life .

Dedi cated to the developer homies everywhere who code hard day and night. Think Java programmers meet street Hip Hop. Lyrics: SPOKEN: In the cubicles representin for my JAVA homies In by nine, out when the deadlines are met, check it. CHORUS: We code hard in these cubicles My style s nerd-chic, I m a programmin freak We code hard in these cubicles Only two hours to your deadline? Don t sweat my technique. Sippin morning coffee with that JAVA swirl. Born to code; my first words were Hello World Since 95, been JAVA codin stayin proud Started on floppy disks, now we take it to the cloud. On my desktop, JAVA s what s bobbin and weavin We got another winning app before I get to OddEven. Blazin code like a forest fire, climbin a tree Setting standards like I Triple E . Boot it on up, I use Got so much love for GNU Public Licensed, Stop by my desk when the force like Luke, my homeboy Duke. it s open source, you need a crash course

Written once and my script runs anywhere, Straight thuggin , mean muggin in my Aeron chair. All the best lines of code, you know I wrote em I ll run you out of town on your dial-up modem. CHORUS: Cause We code hard in these cubicles Me and my crew code hyphy hardcore We code hard in these cubicles It s been more than 10 years since I ve seen the 404. Inheriting a project can make me go beeee-serk Ain t got four hours to transfer their Framework. The cleaners killed the lights, Man, that ain t nice, Gonna knock this program out, just like Kimbo Slice I program all night, just like a champ, Look alive under this IKEA lamp. I code HARDER in the midnight hour, E7 on the vending machine fuels my power. Ps3 to Smartphones, our code use never ends, JAVA s there when I beat you in Words with Friends . My developing skills are so fresh please discuss, You better step your game up on that C++. We know better than to use Dot N-E-T, Even Dan Brown can t code as hard as me.

You know JAVA s gettin bigger, that s a promise not a threat, Let me code it on your brain WHISPERED: so you ll never forget. CHORUS: We code hard in these cubicles, it s the core component of what we implement. We code hard in these cubicles, Straight to your JAVA Runtime Environment. We code hard in these cubicles, Keep the syntax light and the algorithm tight. We code hard in these cubicles, Gotta use JAVA if it s gonna run right. We code hard in these cubicles JAVA keeps adapting, you know it s built to last. We code hard in these cubicles, Robust and secure, so our swag s on blast CODE HARD
