Dirk: Unite Synchronization (WITH LYRICS!) is a fanvid from the Homestuck fandom. It uses animations from the original comic, overlaid with the purely instrumental song from the comic - "Unite Synchronize", and over that is overlaid rap lyrics that the fans made up, commenting on the scene. It was inspired by, according to their words, the idea that since the character Dirk Strider, in canon, accesses his video game inventory by speaking out loud, and also raps, that during several scenes he probably would have been rapping out loud. This video is their one idea of how a few of his raps might have gone.

Lyrics from the vid (as transcribed by the authors):

Yo.

I was out for awhile, cuz the red miles, Squarewave, get inside my sylladex, Gotta fix shit now with a freestyle, my team's a mess, and it's all up to reflex, Shit's kinda typical, but this'll be mighty difficult, cuz additional syllables. Got a long road to hoe so let's go, now, acro-batic. fuck-ing. pi-rou-ette. C'mon I gotta go faster, Yo, I'm a blur, colored alabaster Got that crockercorp sendificator, Absurd, I'm like my own flight simulator. Zoom. Speedyquick like my diction. Do flips and shit, I'm twistin' Don't even care who's list'nin', Brace for impact, I'm liftin' off. And I'm not even sweaty. Though if I were, what I'd need'd be a towel. Hey, yo, Sawtooth are you ready? Here comes a cruxite dowel. (Nice catch!) Did I mention that I did this cause I gotta build speed, I'm relentless, gotta penchant, gotta mighty need, like an engine, end of sentence; cool re-entrance. Yes. Fuck yes. Hell fucking yes. Oh damn, A dead Roxy, sans grave, Yo, Squarewave, take care of this place. Now I know it's odd, but I gotta snog, so go ahead and say it. (YEAH DOGG!) Dude. That's hella gay. But hey, I can't complain, cuz the rogue is awake, That's one down, two to go, or one if Roxy finds a way to partake. She won't. She's straight. Fuck it, gotta move, Squarewave, see ya later. Runnin' out of time, livin' on a prayer, got my Bucket and my crockercorp sendificator, Now as they say it's all gone pear shaped, there's no other way, so decapatat- -tion is my escape, goodbye Squarewave, じゃあまたね (ja mata ne (see you later)). Yo. I'm back. Did I miss shit? No I didn't, this attempt is kinda pathetic. Doof, bitch, out the way, Daddy Dirk is taking care of liplocking with Jane. Looks like everything is okay, one step left and we're headed to Jake, Ya better hold on, because this thing is so fast holy shit I'm cool. Did I tell you how cool I am? Cuz I'm so fucking awesome. GRAB. ON. TO MY FUCK-ING SKATE. BOARD. I'M SO COOL, I SAVED THE DAY, YOU'RE WELCOME, WATCH THIS COOL SHIT THAT I SET UP EARLIER, IT'S NO BIG DEAL WAIT I LIED IT'S ACTUALLY THE COOLEST THING EVER!

Sup.
