[Verse 1 – Male Rap] Started safe, kept it small, Index funds, no risk at all. Kelly curve said play it slow, One percent bets, steady flow. But the climb was way too tame, Dreamed of faster, bigger gains. Dropped the rules, doubled down, Margin whispers pulled me round. [Chorus – Female Sing] I’m a derivative, flying too high, Burning the sky as I rise. Chasing the fire, I can’t hold it in, All of my life on this spin. [Verse 2 – Male Rap] Tried some calls, the charts looked sweet, Leverage made my heart skip beats. Options flashing, screens turned red, Kelly’s ghost inside my head. Futures rising, I lost track, One wrong trade, can’t turn back. Liquidity was paper thin, Every move pulled me deeper in. [Chorus – Female Sing] I’m a derivative, flying too high, Burning the sky as I rise. Chasing the fire, I can’t hold it in, All of my life on this spin. [Verse 3 – Male Rap] Played with swaps, exotic plays, Mark-to-market stole my days. Counterparty calls came fast, Margin crushed me at the last. From safe beginnings, chasing more, Risk was knocking at my door. Kelly laughs, my capital’s gone, Account is ashes, the game moves on. [Final Chorus – Female Sing] I’m a derivative, flying too high, Burning the sky as I rise. Chasing the fire, I can’t hold it in, All of my life on this spin.
