Wrote a rap song on finance

I guess the title of this post speaks for itself - Figured I’d combine two things that take up way too much of my time: finance and music. It’s called Excel-lence. Curious to know what WSO thinks.

Excel-lence

Shortie wanna chill in the resort,
I’m still tryin to grasp The Big Short
I got a lot of missed calls,
I don’t f*ck with Margin Calls
I’m making my way to the top,
Like a Ponzi scheme about to pop
I’m about to make a scandal like Enron
Because I want to be the king like LeBron
I’ve been dealing with some fake brothers
Trying to bring me down like Lehman Brothers
Too big to fail, I haven’t even reached my prime,
That I’m already trending on Amazon Prime
I’m having bigger effects than the Subprimes,
And I didn’t commit any crimes
Sometimes I be psycho like Bateman,
And evolving in the shadows like Batman

I used to tag walls in the street
Now I’m Breaking into Wall Street
Doesn’t matter if the market is bear or bull
I’m beating the game like the Bulls
Locked in, I be pulling hours like Kobe
I don’t want no beef, just want my steak to be Kobe
I’m used to spending all my time on powerpoint
And I’m going straight to the point
Done a graveyard shift last night, shoutout to Cench
Fuck those trading influencers, pardon my French
I didn’t get any wildcard
But now I’m staying at the Shard
To make it fast to the City
I had no choice but to show audacity
My will is fuelled like a V8 engine
And my tonic doesn’t come without the gin

I’m wearing the Patagonia vest like I’m about to save the environment
And ignoring every red flag like the FTX risk management department
We’re built different, you’re out there listening to house
While I’m grinding for that Upper East side penthouse
Shoutout to everyone going through layoffs
This shit is more competitive than the Playoffs
Paradoxically we were ready to give our soul to be at Goldman
But this gold mine is like listening to sirens at the Aman
No not the ones in Utopia but the ones in the Odyssey
Ask yourself if those sacrifices are worth the six figures money
Stop romanticising this life, it’s not like The Industry
You can go from Credit Suisse to Debit Suisse quickly
I want my fashion marketing girl doing Pilate in Alo fits
And like Litquidity I like them levered to the tits
Can’t say that this is going to be forever my reality
One day I might be tempted to exit in private equity
