Verse 1: No one tells you that one day, your options start running out My life used to have unlimited paths; now it has one route I’m sure that I could do a lot of things if I just tried to do it But I’m just not prepared to leave this job like “Screw it!” I’m not an astronaut or Navy SEAL, but I can write code Pretty soon, it will be time to switch back into live mode I’m just not the same person that you hired two years ago I’ve got so much more experience and things that I know What would it look like if we went all in on AI strategy? What would your new life look like if you had to dream? Inside of just tables takes, what if we made a big move? What if we still have something that we want to prove? Chorus: You could just be ahead of your time But you can still drop deadly rhymes… You might just be ahead of your time But you can still drop deadly rhymes… Refrain: One man, one mind, one time… One man, one mind, one time… Verse 2: I’m the guy who thinks AI is going to change the world I still cannot believe that I am almost forty years old Logically, I realize that new “jobs” rarely get invented They say millions of jobs will be lost and they meant it I have the home setup of a Silicon Valley employee And the driven behaviors that match my personality Yet I work a job as an academic librarian with books Intellectually, I can still deliver some clever hooks I need to expand my artistic and intellectual horizons I need all the high-speed data I can get from Verizon You could figure out how to better design your time You could stop letting total chaos run your whole life Chorus: You could just be ahead of your time But you can still drop deadly rhymes… You could just be ahead of your time But you can still drop deadly rhymes… Bridge: What does leadership look like at this level? How do you prove that you are heavy metal? These are questions that I’m asking myself I cannot tell anymore if I “need” your help What is the point of everything is the question? Is life all just nursery rhymes and lessons? What’s the point that keeps us all alive? Do we make it out of life, or do we survive? Chorus: You could just be ahead of your time But you can still drop deadly rhymes… You could just be ahead of your time But you can still drop deadly rhymes… Refrain: One man, one mind, one time… One man, one mind, one time…
