Fourteen Fins [Intro] Fourteen baby sharks in a pool— All circling… whatchu gonna do? Panic makes waves, but patience stays cool— There’s a way out if you know the rules. [Hook] Fourteen baby sharks in a pool, All circling—whatchu gonna do? Don’t splash, don’t clash, don’t play the fool, Win friends, move minds, make respect your tool. Fourteen sharp shadows coming for you, But calm conversation can carry you through. Find what they want, let ’em feel understood— Turn fourteen foes into a neighborhood. [Verse 1] First shark charges with a chip on his fin, Don’t criticize—let the listening begin. Give honest praise, find the good underneath, A respected shark doesn’t need to show teeth. Remember each name like it matters to you, Ask about their ocean, their angle, their view. Show genuine interest; don’t fake what you feel— Every heart can detect when the kindness ain’t real. Smile in the storm when the water gets wild, Speak with respect, keep your presence mild. Let them talk first, let their stories unfold, Attention is treasure more precious than gold. You don’t beat the circle by fighting the crew— You open up a channel they can peacefully swim through. [Pre-Chorus] No sudden motion, no ego explosion, Lead with devotion and level emotion. See through their eyes, let empathy rule— That’s how you get out of a shark-filled pool. [Hook] Fourteen baby sharks in a pool, All circling—whatchu gonna do? Don’t splash, don’t clash, don’t play the fool, Win friends, move minds, make respect your tool. Fourteen sharp shadows coming for you, But calm conversation can carry you through. Find what they want, let ’em feel understood— Turn fourteen foes into a neighborhood. [Verse 2] If you are wrong, say it quickly and clear— Honest admission makes danger disappear. Never begin with a fist or command, Start with agreement, then offer your hand. Collect little “yeses,” let momentum grow, Make the right pathway the one they choose to go. Don’t claim the whole credit or conquer the room— Let another feel ownership; watch trust bloom. Appeal to the noble, the best they can be, Give them a name that inspires integrity. Praise every progress, encourage each try, Make faults feel fixable, never magnified. Challenge with purpose, not ridicule— Even sharks want dignity deep in the pool. [Bridge — Call and Response] One shark: “Why should we let you leave?” “Because I heard what you need and believe.” Two sharks: “Why should we trust what you say?” “Judge by my actions—I’ll show you the way.” Seven on the left, seven on the right: No need for blood when the future is bright. Fourteen fins slowly breaking their ring— Respect turned the hunted into the king. [Final Hook] Fourteen baby sharks in a pool, All circling—now whatchu gonna do? Stay calm, speak kindly, keep courage in view, Ask more questions than the answers you spew. Never humiliate, argue, or accuse— Give them a reason where everybody can choose. Walk through the water with wisdom as fuel— That’s how you get out of a shark-filled pool. [Outro] Fourteen baby sharks let the pathway come through, Not because you crushed them—because connection grew. You can’t always control who is circling you, But you can control what your character will do.
