[Intro] Boot up the barn, y’all Moo-deem protocol engaged [Robot Ad-lib: bzzzt] [Verse 1] I got a hay-bale throne and a satellite dish, Boots full of mud but I’m coding my wish. Granddad’s old tractor got a chrome-plated brain, It plows one row then predicts the rain. Chicken in the yard got a data-driven strut, Peckin’ out passwords from a feed-bin rut. I tell the rooster, “Boss, you’re late to the shift,” He says, “Kicker, I’ve been clocked by the grid.” [Pre-Chorus] Tradition in the left hand, future in the right, Tin roof rattlin’ under binary light. If the cow says moo and the modem says ping, That’s a country computation with a digital swing. [Chorus] I’m the barnyard cipher, crackin’ that code, Half dirt-road wisdom, half silicon mode. From the porch to the cloud, let the old ways ride, Got a robot in the silo and a blue-ribbon mind. [Robot Ad-lib: recalculating] Barnyard cipher, no need to disguise, Cornbread logic with electric eyes. [Verse 2] My mule got a mood ring and a neural net, Still refuses shortcuts, ain’t impressed yet. The scarecrow’s upgraded, now he scans the field, But he still scares crows with the same old zeal. I trade sweet tea secrets through a farm-wide mesh, While the hens run diagnostics on a feathered cache. Neighbor says, “Boy, that machine talk strange,” I say, “So does your rooster, but he charges the range.” [Bridge] Warm tubes humming in the kitchen light, Cold little circuits making jokes all night. Old quilt wisdom in a brand-new frame, Every rusty hinge got a hologram name. [Robot Ad-lib: yee-haw.exe] [Chorus] I’m the barnyard cipher, crackin’ that code, Half dirt-road wisdom, half silicon mode. From the porch to the cloud, let the old ways ride, Got a robot in the silo and a blue-ribbon mind. [Robot Ad-lib: pattern recognized] Barnyard cipher, no need to disguise, Cornbread logic with electric eyes. [Outro] Sun dips low on the pasture grid, Still doin’ things the way my people did. Just added a processor, a modem, and flair— Now the whole back forty’s thinkin’ out there. [Robot Ad-lib: goodnight, livestock] [Instrumental glitch outro]
