Failure was never an option Didn’t know it even existed Princeton engineer, MIT MBA To all my doubters I persisted No banking, no consulting, I grew a set and shunned the lemmings Took an idea on napkin, raised $5 million And was set for retirement beginnings Then 9/11, two thousand and eight Some corporate cowards dropped a bomb A patent infringement lawsuit While raising our Series A round Stand down! Man down! Who? - What? - How? Get crammed down! Rammed down! What the fuck am I gonna do now? No money, sunk equity, Hundreds of thousands personally guaranteed The debt, the ego, the shame Would bring any man to his knees Just when I thought I could bear it And give the albatross a rest A routine doctor visit Shows cancer in my mom’s breast Six years of blood, sweat, and tears Destroyed overnight Two years of hidden depression Too paralyzed to stand and fight But my father didn’t raise no punk Retribution is what I avow I’m back on grind bitches What the fuck are YOU gonna do
