Yumas - Neil Bergquist - Startups [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Neil Bergquist]

Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I built a tech startup in Seattle

In Western Washington born and raised
Fighting to stay awake in class most of my days
Codin and dreamin of my next move
Taking about life when I finally get cool
When a couple of guys who were up to some good
Started raising money in the neighborhood
I wrote a few lines of code and my mom just scoffed
She said ‘your gonna intern with your father over at Microsoft”

I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my brief case and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and an ORCA pass
I put my Walkman on and said, 'I might as well relax'

First day, yo this isn’t fun
Stack ranking and commuting to Red-muhnd
Is this what the corporations are living like?
Hmmmmmmm this won’t be alright


PARt 2

But wait I hear there’s money, if you got ideas
Can we talk to some investors over a couple of beers?
Now I’m funded, money in the hundreds
Keepin the burn rate low, with mom’s sack lunches

PAUSE

Well, my round closed and I hired some buddies
A couple google ads and Bezos is flashing money
I ain't trying to get bought out yet I just got here
I sprang to a basement like lightening n’ disappeared

I made a demo and built a pitch deck
Some more investors said “great” and wrote me a check
My mentor got tickets to CES in Vegas
I said “We’re ready, yo homes, release the beta!”

PAUSE

I. pulled. up to the trade show bout 6 or 7
And I yelled to my customers “yo homes, come and get it!”
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally thurr
To sit on my throne as an entrepreneur
