Welcome to Small Biz Incorporated, have a seat
In the back we got a stack of some snacks to eat
We'll have to see who's gonna make it to lunch
Because not everyone's cut out for the corporate crunch

Have you approached old acquaintances on Facebook, yet?
Do you place good bets? Wanna erase your debts?
I hope I'm making sense, because it takes the best
To break fates with the rest and make manifest

If you can't invest in yourself, then who will
You gotta put money down to make startup scrill
The Art of the Deal, that's a solid read
Want to amass that cash, just follow me

Cuz while the peak of the mountain evades you
The haters'll debate you and try to dissuade you
Just because you're makin' moves that they're too afraid to
The top half of that diamond awaits you

What do you want the most in your lifetime?
What connects the boat to your lifeline?
And if you were given minutes in the limelight
Would you still prefer to live within the guidelines?

What do you want the most in your lifetime?
What connects the boat to your lifeline?
And if you were given minutes in the limelight
Would you still prefer to live within the guidelines?

They asked me
What do you want, and why do you care
And, What are you doing now in getting you there
I sit and think about these questions, I don't have an answer
Or at least, not an answer that resembles the standard

The room is filled with incoming interns and hopeful analysts
Busy pretending that they never indulge in cannabis
Anarchist in the midst of panelists and undergraduates
I'm standing to the back, beginning to feel inadequate

And then I notice that the women in the space
They all possessed visages similar to my face
Of East Asian descent, proximity to my race
Of at least 80 percent, from what I could estimate

A room of Asian women all behaving like drones
I started questioning if they had any aims of their own
Or just lost in a sea of sameness where their names were unknown
And then I stepped out of the room because I came here alone

What do you want the most in your lifetime?
What connects the boat to your lifeline?
And if you were given minutes in the limelight
Would you still prefer to live within the guidelines?

What do you want the most in your lifetime?
What connects the boat to your lifeline?
And if you were given minutes in the limelight
Would you still prefer to live within the guidelines?

Nothing is perfect
Was it all worth it
What is my purpose
Was it all worth it

I will never network if it doesn't move me forward
And if you do me favors I will thank you in the foreword
But who am I to think I could possibly make a change
Cause to you I'm just a chink and that will always stay the same

I'm impatient for success, maybe it was never meant for me
I guess I should expect my pretension to be the death of me
Accept defeat, send a fleet of ships, say surrender
And never remember the shame of caving to my enemies

Then I'll be, a representative of an embassy
Of normalcy and content, of comfort and complacency
I'd hate to be looking over my shoulder when I'm thirty thinking
Damn I wish I'd never pretended, I wish I'd chased my dream

But some people just wanna do their part
They just wanna live their lives, we just wanna live ours
A life of stability versus falling apart
I ask you, was it worth it just to follow my heart?

What do you want the most in your lifetime?
What connects the boat to your lifeline?
And if you were given minutes in the limelight
Would you still prefer to live within the guidelines?

What do you want the most in your lifetime?
What connects the boat to your lifeline?
And if you were given minutes in the limelight
Would you still prefer to live within the guidelines?

Nothing is perfect
Was it all worth it
What is my purpose
Was it all worth it
