4 Types of LuckHow to Get Rich Without Getting Lucky

In a thousand parallel universes, I stand... They say it's just a lottery ticket clutched right in my hand... But it's not a game of fortune, it's a skill I understand To be wealthy in 999 across the land... The first kind of luck is blind, it’s just a passing fate A twist of circumstance that arrives too soon, or late Like a treasure found by accident, a ship run to the shore A random act of fortune, and nothing less or more The second kind you make yourself by stirring up the dust You're running 'round with energy, in your own motion, trust It’s persistence and it's hustle, just a constant, frantic mix Planting so many seeds that one of them is bound to stick But you don't wanna be lucky in just a fifty out of a thousand You wanna build a character the world can get aroused in A kind of preparation where your destiny's at hand And luck is not a random wave, but your own promised land The third is being sensitive, you see what others can't You're attuned to your own field, you know the secret chant Chance favors the prepared mind, you worked to get the skill So when the lucky break appears, you're standing calm and still And you know just what to do But the last kind is the strangest, the one you truly make You build a brand so unique that there is no mistake You're the best deep-sea diver, known throughout the world and wide So when that treasure chest is found, they have nowhere left to hide They must come to you. And their blind luck just became your earned reward You built your own strange character, you sharpened your own sword And that's not luck, it's destiny, a world that you designed For when opportunity finds you, it's the one you had in mind. Yeah, the one you had in mind... The world that you designed...
