How the hell did I go from a nerdy white
Suburban guy with a couple words that rhyme
To a millionaire, platinum certified?
I can tell you in a word: I diversified
Thatâs the only way to keep entrepreneurs alive
Stick your fingers in twenty-five or thirty pies
And then when the returns arrive, you fertilize
The best ones and just let the worst ones die
Iâm talkinâ about business initiatives
Not individuals, there are some critical differences
Whoâs gonna sponsor insolvent businesses?
The government? Only if theyâre sellinâ derivatives
But for the rest of us, tryinâ to create benefits
For customers, instead of just beinâ acquisitive
Diversification is the best preventative
Against over-exposure, so risk is limited
Walk like an amoeba
Throw off lots of little feelers
And see which onesâll feed ya baby
Walk like an amoeba
Throw off lots of little feelers
And see which onesâll feed ya
Go get it, go get it, go get it
Go get it, you want it? Go get it
Okay everybody, ready for a case study?
Rap Guide Incorporated, we make money
By collaborating with⦠pretty much anybody
So our business relationships stay slutty
Weâve got the Rap Guide to Evolution, Business
Chemistry, Geology, Law, Statistics
Cosmology⦠Quantum Physics
We pretty much got a locked on the academics
But thatâs just the entrance; we have Rap Guides
To all of your favorite hobbies and pastimes
From flying kites to fly fishing â we franchise
We even have a Rap Guide to writing Rap Guides
Thatâs how our business model gets sold
We only centralize quality control
Synthesizing all knowledge into flows
Thatâs our motto, plus our modest goal
Walk like an amoeba
Throw off lots of little feelers
And see which onesâll feed ya baby
Walk like an amoeba
Throw off lots of little feelers
And see which onesâll feed ya
Go get it, go get it, go get it
Go get it, you want it? Go get it
So what does it mean to walk like an amoeba?
Donât you need a vision to be a business leader?
And donât those amoebas move with little feelers
âCause they ainât got no eyes they can see with?
Thatâs right, but your eyes will deceive ya
No one saw the credit crisis cominâ either
When it comes to gains, people are safe creatures
But when it comes to losses, risk-seekers
Humans are not Econs, thatâs wrong
Classical economists have been hittinâ the bong
Cognitive biases are mad strong
Otherwise, you wouldnât have black swans
Economics is the modern astrology
With crystal balls to predict the economy
And expert advice is like hittinâ the lottery
You gotta be like an amoeba if you wanna lead
Walk like an amoeba
Throw off lots of little feelers
And see which onesâll feed ya baby
