      ( javascript mothaafuckkka )
      ( node.js mothhafuckkka )
      ( javascript mothaafuckkka )
      ( dont cry for rails )
      ( nodejitsu motthhafuckkka )

      caus its the java-to-the-script doing this since 96'
      peace to brendan eich for making it exist 

      it's an open-source license, of course we be frugal
      peace to Lars Bak for v8 from Google

      big ups to Ry Dahl for keeping it real
      big ups to Joyent for paying all the bills

      big ups to Marak, the new kid on the block 
      saying invest in nodejitsu, its a top pick stock!

      ( why? ) node.js allows for real-time sockets
      over http, its socket.io and you cannot stop it! 
      Guerimo from learnboost blowing up like a rocket
      just go to the github for the source (if you wanna cop it!)

      need to install packages, use the module system
      it was built by isaacs a man of knowledge and wisdom

      npm install foo, now you rocking
      require foo in any script you be dropping

      ohh so you know a jQuery?
      don't write write node and code 
      thats crazier then tim leary
      because thats kinda scary if you don't know flow control
      too many callbacks, its time to slow you roll

      try Step by Tim Caswell
      Chainsaw by Substack, it's just as swell
      make your node code sane and not looking loopy
      Node.js is the best so you better run Ruby.

      (Run Ruby Run Ruby Run)
      (Run Ruby Run Ruby Run)

      so we throw our hands in the air like we don't just care
      we wreck with Connect as our middle-ware
      using the node-inspector to get up in there
      we dance around on Github like Fred Astair, i swear
      the Node wiki page is our second home
      if it's not open-source yo we leave it alone
      Node is the king and he can't be dethroned
      Node is the code that's the hottest tech
      if you don't have Node you better protect your neck

      you see, node blurs the line of the server and client
      battle hardened technologies and a community that is reliant
      10 year javascript veterans that never threw in the towel
      immense skill and experience like my friend paolo

      it's javascript time, we own this shhhh
      have a refreshing taste of caffeinated coffeescript

      drip, drip, drip, thats the sound of OSS 
      from document cloud jeremery ashkanes is the best!

      from nyc.js im making it clear yo
      big ups to indexzero computer science hero
      big ups to brian mitchell, and fotoverite
      big ups to tmpvar,  his capacity is very
      intimidating, there is no debating
      if you are a hater, node is what are you should be hating

      ( javascript mothaafuckkka )
      ( node.js mothhafuckkka )
      ( javascript mothaafuckkka )
      ( nodejitsu motthhafuckkka )

      ( PEACE )
