[Verse 1] Down on the factory floor where the good work's done Distillation running clean in the mornin' sun Every build's a story only kept in your head Who's on what step — well, nobody ever said So you walk on over, ask around the crew There's got to be a better way to see this through [Chorus] So you build first, one small step at a time Name the problem, let the answer come to mind Make it work for you, don't wait till it's done Cleaner science, honest work beneath the sun Take that big ol' mountain, break it into stone Build first, darlin', and you'll never build alone [Verse 2] POP-IT — that's the plan when you're startin' out slow Problem, Output, Prompt, the Input, then you go Test it, does it hold? Does it do what you need? Context, Logic, Interface — three sprints, take the lead Twenty minutes on the clock, hit a brick wall or two Back it up and try again, that's what builders do [Chorus] So you build first, one small step at a time Name the problem, let the answer come to mind Make it work for you, don't wait till it's done Cleaner science, honest work beneath the sun Take that big ol' mountain, break it into stone Build first, darlin', and you'll never build alone [Bridge] Even big problems, they start real small One little task you did by hand — could the machine do it all? You don't need to know the ending to begin Just pick your problem up and pour yourself right in [Verse 3] Now the status board is glowin', everybody knows the score Manuals write themselves, ain't handwritin' anymore So what'll you build next when the whistle finally blows? Catch one thing you did the old way — and let it go [Final Chorus] 'Cause you build first, one small step at a time Name the problem, let the answer come to mind Make it work for you, don't wait till it's done Cleaner science, honest work beneath the sun Take that big ol' mountain, break it into stone Build first, y'all, and you'll never build alone [Outro] Build first... one step at a time Make AI work for you — and you'll be just fine
