Number crunching, staring at a spreadsheet
Data entry, coffee break, thatâll tempt me
Diuretic, hit the bathroom, bladder empty
Then itâs back to my back-shattering seat
All work, no play, got bent vertebrae
From sittinâ strapped in one place for thirty days
Like a penguin â âquackâ â not like a bird of prey
Weâll be right back, after this commercial break
Entrepreneurâs fate, gotta pay the bills
Havenât smoked weed in years, life is way too real
Another admin day, what a waste of skills
But I canât sit still, Iâm afraid to chill
Pushinâ this cart up hill, Iâm Blade Running
Canât stay in one place, itâll get away from me
I might coast for ten minutes, maybe twenty
But gravity brings me back, gotta make money
These are the fruits of my labours produced
In the slavinâ away I do day by day
These are the moves that I make and the rules
That I play by, when I ply my trade
The only videos I make are instructional
Peace to Shad K, Iâm mad functional
Thatâs the nature of industry, nuts and bolts
Bullshit committees and tax deductibles
Iâm like âfuck your rulesâ whose rules anyway?
You gotta be a masochist to get an MBA
You gotta be in love with boredom, and pain
Ainât no original ideas in a pencil case
What a waste of talent, fuck a bank balance
I mean, itâs great, but why chase it if it ainât a challenge?
Find the space to engage your native passions
In every imaginable way â you gotta make it happen
And when it ends in crushing disappointment
Use that to advance by making different choices
Or else by listening to different voices
Failure is all but assured, you gotta pick your poison
These are the fruits of my labours produced
In the slavinâ away I do day by day
These are the moves that I make and the rules
That I play by, when I ply my trade
This isnât pessimistic, itâs just descriptive
Thereâs lots of ways to let the debt collectors getchya
And not so many paths to a successful business
Thereâs no certain formula to get the riches
The visionary perspective isnât very effective
When it comes to calculating the yearly interest
On all the various debts youâre carrying from initiatives
That failed to achieve their revolutionary objectives
This is serious business, you gotta dot your iâs
You gotta cross your tâs and watch your bottom line
Keep your money on your mind, and stay on your grind
You gotta crawl sometimes before your star can rise
Just try to fail constructively, trust me
Some days youâre gonna hate your company
The vision doesnât take you to a place of luxury
It just sustains you while you face the daily drudgery
These are the fruits of my labours produced
In the slavinâ away I do day by day
These are the moves that I make and the rules
That I play by, when I ply my trade
