Chippin' In

## History

Originally written and composed by Johnny Silverhand - which he sung in 2013 before his assault on Arasaka Tower - "Chippin' In" was part of his 2013 album *A Cool Metal Fire*, though in 2020 a new version with the rest of Samurai was recorded.

In 2022, as a memorial to Silverhand, Kerry Eurodyne made a cover of the original song, making the melody more pop-punk, becoming an instant hit.

## Lyrics

#### Original (Silverhand Version)

Got the chips and enhancements Got the attitude right

Got the metal beneath my skin

I'm chippin' in

[Verse]

Got the chrome in the bloodstream

Got a metal soul

I'm out looking for action

Guess I'm on a roll

Got the old mega violence

When I boost, it's for real

The capacitors roarin' inside my brain

You know just how I feel

Cold chrome, molten lead

Can't be hurt cuz I'm already dead

Ain't no time as real as realtime

I'm chipping in

Chippin' in

[Chorus]

Chippin' in - got my head to the wall

Chippin' in - can ya hear me call

Chippin' in - I'm the man of steel

Chippin' in - Is that how ya-feel?

Well, c'mon!

#### SAMURAI Version

[Chorus]

C-Can you feel it?!

Can you touch it?!

Get ready 'cause here we go!

C-Can you feel it?!

Can you touch it?!

Get ready 'cause here we go!

[Verse 1]

My soul invaded with vital force!

Won't spare what I'm hunting for!

It's the animal within my blood!

Wouldn't stop it, if I could!

[Refrain]

Seed is sown - I'm chippin' in!

Roll the bones - I'm chippin' in!

Embed that code - I'm chippin' in!

Mayhem flows!

[Pre-Chorus]

Not backing down!

Never backing down!

Not backing down!

Yeah!

[Chorus]

C-Can you feel it?!

Can you touch it?!

Get ready cause here we go!

C-Can you feel it?!

Can you touch it?!

Get ready cause here we go!

[Bridge]

(Instrumental)

Yeah!

[Verse 2]

Suits run when I come undone!

Can't kill me, I'm zero and one!

Add justice to the peoples' math!

Blaze your way down the rebel path!

[Refrain]

Hear my call - I'm chippin' in!

Total war - I'm chippin' in!

Casings fall - I'm chippin' in!

Kill them all!

[Pre-Chorus]

Not backing down!

Never backing down!

Oh!

[Riff]

(Instrumental)

[Chorus]

C-Can you feel it?!

Get ready cause here we go!

[Bridge]

#### Eurodyne Version

[Intro]

(Instrumental)

[Verse 1]

Got the chrome in my bloodstream

Got a hardwired metal soul

I'm craving serious action

That smack, drag drunken roll

Chips are bashin' in my top

Ridin' high, my slots are shot

Metal burnin' beneath my skin

I'm chippin' in, chippin' in

[Pre-Chorus]

Chips are buzzin', implants hot!

Ridin' high, my slots are shot!

Metal burnin' beneath my skin!

I'm chippin' in!

[Chorus]

Chippin' in - got my back to the wall!

Chippin' in - c'mon hear my call!

Chippin' in - I'm the man of steel!

Chippin' in - fuckin' feel it, I'm real!

[Verse 2]

Justice called heavy violence

Gonna boost and hit the street

Corporate gettin' violent droves

Made of greed and packin' heat

Cold chrome, spent molten lead

Can't be killed 'cause I'm already dead

Stand, don't feed the ghost within

I'm chippin' in, chippin' in

[Pre-Chorus]

Chips are buzzin', implants hot!

Ridin' high, my slots are shot!

Metal burnin' beneath my skin!

I'm chippin' in!

[Chorus]

Chippin' in - got your back to the wall!

Chippin' in - c'mon scream out that call!

Chippin' in - you're built of steel!

Chippin' in - fuckin' feel it, you're real!

[Riff]

(Instrumental - guitar solo)

[Chorus]

I'm chippin' in - got my back to the wall!

Chippin' in - c'mon hear my call!

Chippin' in - I'm the man of steel!

Chippin' in - fuckin' feel it, I'm real!

[Outro]

(Instrumental)
