The Game is the PrizeThe Art of the Deal

[Verse 1] Yeah, the balance sheet looks healthy, Forbes list got the ranking right But if you think the endgame's digits, bathed in fluorescent light You missed the point completely, the spark that makes it worthwhile It's the strategy, the challenge, executed with some style The thrill of the negotiation, poker face across the board Outmaneuvering the titans, claiming prizes they adored Building something from the ether, watching concrete start to climb More than just return on investment, transcending space and time In the moment, yeah, the process, that's where all the magic lies Seeing pieces fall together right before your very eyes. [Chorus] The Game is the Prize, yeah, the process is the art! Love the hustle, love the struggle, play your goddamn part! [Verse 2] USFL adventure, yeah, a gamble and a blast Signed the legends, shook the league up, memories that gonna last Didn't conquer the whole kingdom, didn't rewrite every rule But the ride was pure excitement, jumpin' headfirst in the pool Apprentice wasn't drudgery, it was theater, bold and grand Creating moments, catchphrases, understood across the land Loved the spotlight, loved the drama, feedin' off the energy Proved that business could be show biz, wild and captivatingly Free, yeah, gotta find the fun in it, or else the pressure crushes down Gotta keep the spirit playful wearin' that demanding crown. [Chorus] The Game is the Prize (That's it!), yeah, the process is the art! (Play it!) Love the hustle, love the struggle, play your goddamn part! (Your part!) [Bridge] Money keeps the score, defines the wins, that's understood for sure But the passion for the playing, that's the only lasting cure... for the mundane.
