Belief Before AbilityFounders

[Intro] They ask for the data. They ask for the proof. They want to see the P&L before they lay the roof. But you can’t audit a vision. You can’t spreadsheet a soul. Five and a half years, I’m talkin’ into the void Paying hosting fees with money I was barely employed to get No sponsors, no ads, just a deficit Betting on a timeline that hadn’t even started yet They called it a hobby, I called it an incubation I was Kanye in the room, locking in the station "Five beats a day for three summers" I deserve to do these numbers, I deserve the runners I wasn’t waiting for permission or a pat on the back I was studying the greats, sharpening the axe It’s the inner scorecard, [ __ ] the external validation I’m building a church on a rock, that’s the foundation I paid to do the work, that’s the price of the lease Before the audience arrived, I was already the priest. [Hook] They see a madman, I see the mission My inner clock is tickin', a different rhythm I know the secret that is hidden... Belief comes before the winnin' They see a madman, I see the mission My inner clock is tickin', a different rhythm I know the secret that is hidden... Belief comes before the winnin' [Verse 2] Yeah, Charlie Munger said it, he was born with it inside An inner clock that set the pace, no need for him to hide Tiger at twelve, telling the counselor the plan "I’m gonna be the best," not a boy, but a man He saw the green jacket before he saw the green That’s the reality distortion, that’s the machine Steve Jobs barefoot, selling the dream Making art on circuit boards that remained unseen It’s anti-institutional, it breaks from their consensus The belief that you can move a mountain starts right in your senses They laugh at your plan? Let ‘em have the laugh I’m playing a game that they can’t even graph. [Hook] They see a madman, I see the mission My inner clock is tickin', a different rhythm I know the secret that is hidden... Belief comes before the winnin' They see a madman, I see the mission My inner clock is tickin', a different rhythm I know the secret that is hidden... Belief comes before the winnin' [Bridge] This ain't just confidence, it's a promise to the past To the Cuban grandfather on a raft that had to last To the mother workin' doubles, to the father breakin' his back This belief is my inheritance, there's no turnin' back It's the only weapon I was given, forged inside the fire To build a whole new world from the wreckage of their empire. [Verse 3] So let 'em doubt, it's just the fuel that makes the engine burn This is the only lesson that they will ever learn You don't wait for the crown, you take it off the shelf You don't wait for the world, you gotta bet on yourself The skill follows the will, write that in the stone Belief comes before ability, and I’m setting the tone. [Hook] They see a madman, I see the mission My inner clock is tickin', a different rhythm I know the secret that is hidden... Belief comes before the winnin' They see a madman, I see the mission My inner clock is tickin', a different rhythm I know the secret that is hidden... Belief comes before the winnin' [Outro] It’s not arrogance. It’s vision. Belief comes before ability. Every time.
