IT's paradise
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life, and realize there's nothin' left
'Cause I've been codin' and laughin' so long
That even my momma thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
Me be treated like a resource, you know that's unheard of
You better watch how you talkin' and where you walkin'
Or you and your team might be lined in chalk
I really hate to code, but I gotta work
As they croak, I see myself in the laptop smoke
Fool, I'm the kinda dev the little juniors wanna be like
On my knees in the night, sayin' prayers in the laptoplight
Been spendin' most their lives livin' in the IT's paradise
Been spendin' most their lives livin' in the IT's paradise
Keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the IT's paradise
Keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the IT's paradise
Look at the situation they got me facin'
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by Telerik
So I gotta be down with the dev team
Too much television watchin' got me chasin' dreams
I'm a educated fool with money on my mind
Got my laptop in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a loc'd developer, ETF banker
And my devs is down so don't arouse my anger
Fool, death ain't nothin' but a heart beat away
I'm livin' life do or die, what can I say?
I'm 30 now, but will I live to see 31?
The way things is goin', I don't know man
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me?
Been spendin' most their lives livin' in the IT's paradise
Been spendin' most their lives livin' in the IT's paradise
Keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the IT's paradise
Keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the IT's paradise
Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's runnin', but half of them ain't lookin'
It's goin' on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin'
They say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me
If they can't understand it, how can they reach me?
I guess they can't, I guess they won't
I guess they frontin', that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool!
Been spendin' most their lives livin' in the IT's paradise
Been spendin' most their lives livin' in the IT's paradise
Keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the IT's paradise
Keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the IT's paradise
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me?
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me?
