[Intro]
Nonna's kitchen table, secrets being told
While Silicon Valley's selling stories of gold
Same game different name, watch how the power flows
Through bloodlines and code lines, that's just how it goes
[Verse 1]
Trust fund babies claiming they're self-made
While I watched my uncle's poker face never fade
Negotiating birthright over Sunday's pasta plate
Now these tech bros do the same shit, but validate
Their privilege with pitch decks, ain't that great?
"Disrupting industries" - man, that's f*cking fake
Just repackaging power plays their daddies taught
Same old money games, but with stock options bought
[Chorus]
It's all inheritance, just dressed in hoodies now
Old money, new money, same shit different crowd
From Nonna's kitchen to the boardroom showdown
Power never changes, just moves around
(Just moves around, just moves around)
[Verse 2]
Watching founders exit with their golden chutes
While my grandmother whispered who gets what loot
IPO or family tree, same goddamn roots
Legacy planning in Silicon Valley suits
They call it "succession planning" in their press release
I call it what it is - a f*cking power feast
Your Series A funding? Just inheritance clean
Your "merit-based" system? Man, that makes me scream
[Bridge]
Digital empires or vineyard estates
Power transfers through the stories we create
Emotional blackmail coded in term sheets
Family pressure dressed in quarterly meets
[Verse 3]
Y'all ain't revolutionaries, just playing dress-up
In startup culture clothes, but I see what's next up
Same old power dynamics, just new vernacular
From Sunday dinner drama to shareholder spectacular
Your "disruption" narrative? I ain't buying that
When privilege keeps cycling through the same format
From Nonna's wisdom to venture capital's game
Different language, different decade, shit's the same
[Outro]
So keep your unicorn dreams and startup schemes
I've seen this movie before in my family scenes
Power never changes, just wears different clothes
From pasta sauce to sauce code, that's how it goes
(That's how it goes, that's how it f*cking goes)
