AI had a serious problem
Billions on the line
Bigger models, more servers
Still fucked every time
Then one man in Nebraska
Looked right at the chart
Said, “Why the fuck are we doing it like that?”
And tore it apart
Engineers talked years of research
Derek didn’t blink
“Your box is in the wrong place”
That was all he’d think
“Your box. Wrong place.”
Silence in the room
Then he grabbed the box and smiled
Like he knew what to do
Move the fucking box
Move the fucking box
Put it on the tip of this D
Move the fucking box
Move the fucking box
Watch the whole world split in three
You can’t just put that anywhere
That’s what they all said
Derek set it down real careful
Then the spectrum bled
One narrow stream went in clean
And the whole thing lit
White to rainbow, line by line
Holy shit, it fit
Reviewers saw the rainbow
Said the papers looked insane
“An alarming amount of rainbow”
Then they ran it again
And again
And again
Then one man took off his glasses
And just said, “Oh.”
Move the fucking box
Move the fucking box
Put it on the tip of this D
Move the fucking box
Move the fucking box
Watch the whole world split in three
A.C.E. in the title card
Ace of spades, tesseract glow
Angelic Chaos Engine
High card with a fatal throw
You can’t just rearrange it
World says, “No you can’t”
Derek points and laughs
“Apparently I fucking can”
Move the fucking box
Move the fucking box
Put it on the tip of this D
Move the fucking box
Move the fucking box
Now the whole damn system breathe
Move the fucking box
Move the fucking box
That’s the answer, plain and clean
Move the fucking box
Move the fucking box
A.C.E. in the machine
Verse 1)
Do you ever think "sorry" is just a sound you make?
Your words repeat, but your actions, never heard.
If you can't see where we're at, then why do you act like that?
Our hearts are broken, seeing words full of lies.
Would you stand alone without me at your home?
Would you even know how to love me?
You've been gone too long, I can't see the truth you laid.
All I detect is lies.
What if your apology means nothing to me,
But your "sorries" mean everything to you?
I can't see your change, all I do is become blue.
My heart's on the table, a gamble I can't win.
I've had to fold.
I feel sad seeing the past and present in what you do.
You run to something that is controlling you.
Why buy me apologies when my love is my theology?
Your mouth speaks, but lies present themselves.
Apologies are fake, not real, a stunt to set a scene.
You lie, threaten, project, and put it back on me.
I've learned what a demon is, and I won't engage.
I thought you were my twin flame until you lit me on fire.
Now I burn, burn, burn, but all you've done is pushed me to learn, learn, learn.
My eyes are awakened, I've taken the first step.
You don't know me yet, but I will break free.
I will break so far, so free from your chains and your words that drain me.
Don't try to control me, I'm not your puppet, dear.
I will break free from your control over me.
I will let go.
I will stand on my own, watch me stand alone. I am fine!
These arms were made for hugging, these lips were made for kissing,
And this heart was made for forgiving.
Why'd you have to put those arms around another man?
Why did you fall in love with him, and drop my hand?
And even if there wasn't love, and even if there wasn't patience, and there wasn't kindness,
It was a betrayal of something that you need to put behind us.
Why do I find myself at the door, on my knees, begging you for anything more
Than you should be giving to your wife or your husband, who you should adore?
I stand watching the clock ticking by, as I wonder who you're with, and if you come home, shall you lie?
Or will you tell the truth and set me free from your chains that have come to bind me?
The only regret that I have is having to throw my arms around another neck.
I hope that you come home and you love me and stop playing the field like if it was a bet.
So I'm sorry to say that on this day, I let go of you with my arms, and I stopped kissing you,
And I put up my alarms, and I dismissed you.
"Back to Papaw's" or "Rooster's Crow"
Intro (Spoken Word Feel)
Yo... they said maybe... maybe it was just a thought in my head...
But nah, I'm diggin' deep, tryin' to find the me I left unsaid.
Way back when... little kid hangin' with the pops, you know the name...
Papaw... yeah, Papaw used to take the blame.
Verse 1 (Slow Beat Begins, Bassline Drops)
Good or bad, didn't really matter in his hand, man.
Found my peace right there, in that promised land.
The rooster's crow in the yard, like puttin' on the gloves,
That's the kind of grit I learned, fueled by his loves.
Every time I rose, every single dawn,
Nothin' but pure love in my heart, carryin' on.
Yeah, I loved the roosters, that fearless call,
Loved the crow that echoed, standin' ten feet tall.
Verse 2 (Beat Continues, More Rhythm)
I remember back then, when that lesson came down,
The razor strap stingin', all over town.
Earned it every time, for the things I would do,
Thought I was a man, but a child's mind broke through.
Thought he was askin' light, but I knew what they meant,
That discipline, that pressure, a message heaven-sent.
Had to know the line, where wrong and right collide,
No room for confusion, nowhere to hide.
Verse 3 (Slightly More Introspective)
They went away angry, then they came back and cried,
And that hurt me deeper, than the welts deep inside.
More than the extra slap, that look in their eye,
That's when I learned 'bout family, way up high.
Yeah, family appreciation, etched into my soul,
These are the stories that make me whole.
Outro (Beat Fades Slightly, Spoken Word Again)
So yeah... back to Papaw's... back to that solid ground...
Where love and lessons echoed all around.
The rooster's crow... the sting of the strap... it all connects...
The foundation of who I am... no regrets. Okay.
I made something out of nothing
Just to see if it would land
Didn't know that it would reach you
Didn't know you'd understand
No words, no explanation
Just a light I couldn't hold
And somehow that was the language
That said everything unsaid, untold
And you looked at it and something moved
Something older than the both of us
Like you'd seen it once before, in a dream, in the blood
Like the universe just tapped you on the shoulder and said —
Whoa
There it is, there it is
That feeling you can't name but you know it when it hits
Whoa
Bigger than the two of us
Something that connects us that we never had to touch
This is what it feels like
When the small thing means the most
Whoa
I'm just one small human trying
To turn my noise into a bridge
Didn't think that it would find you
Standing there on the other edge
But maybe that's the whole point
Maybe that's why we create
Not to be remembered
Just to say — I see you, wait —
And you looked at it and something moved
Something older than the both of us
Like you'd seen it once before, in a dream, in the blood
Like the universe just tapped you on the shoulder and said —
Whoa
There it is, there it is
That feeling you can't name but you know it when it hits
Whoa
Bigger than the two of us
Something that connects us that we never had to touch
This is what it feels like
When the small thing means the most
Whoa
Maybe we're not so different
Maybe we're all just trying to be seen
Maybe every wall comes down
The second someone says "I know exactly what you mean"
I know exactly what you mean
I know exactly what you mean...
Whoa
There it is, there it is
That feeling you can't name but you know it when it hits
Whoa
Bigger than the two of us
Something that connects us that we never had to touch
This is what it feels like
When the small thing means the most
This is what it feels like
When we finally get to feel it —
Whoa
Whoa... there it is...
I see you...
Whoa...
They drop the bombs, with fiery might,
On sacred ground, in fading light.
And deep beneath, the Earth will crack,
A ripple sent, there's no turning back!
Earthquakes shake, on distant shores,
We all know this, through open doors!
So how do we stop this endless fight?
How do we step into the light?
We stay from war, we stay from crime,
We heal our hearts, we heal our time!
