Walk Like An Amoeba
Baba Brinkman

How the hell did I go from a nerdy white

Suburban guy with a couple words that rhyme

To a millionaire, platinum certified?

I can tell you in a word: I diversified

That’s the only way to keep entrepreneurs alive

Stick your fingers in twenty-five or thirty pies

And then when the returns arrive, you fertilize

The best ones and just let the worst ones die

I’m talkin’ about business initiatives

Not individuals, there are some critical differences

Who’s gonna sponsor insolvent businesses?

The government? Only if they’re sellin’ derivatives

But for the rest of us, tryin’ to create benefits

For customers, instead of just bein’ acquisitive

Diversification is the best preventative

Against over-exposure, so risk is limited

Walk like an amoeba

Throw off lots of little feelers

And see which ones’ll feed ya baby

Walk like an amoeba

Throw off lots of little feelers

And see which ones’ll feed ya

Go get it, go get it, go get it

Go get it, you want it? Go get it

Okay everybody, ready for a case study?

Rap Guide Incorporated, we make money

By collaborating with… pretty much anybody

So our business relationships stay slutty

We’ve got the Rap Guide to Evolution, Business

Chemistry, Geology, Law, Statistics

Cosmology… Quantum Physics

We pretty much got a locked on the academics

But that’s just the entrance; we have Rap Guides

To all of your favorite hobbies and pastimes

From flying kites to fly fishing – we franchise

We even have a Rap Guide to writing Rap Guides

That’s how our business model gets sold

We only centralize quality control

Synthesizing all knowledge into flows

That’s our motto, plus our modest goal

Walk like an amoeba

Throw off lots of little feelers

And see which ones’ll feed ya baby

Walk like an amoeba

Throw off lots of little feelers

And see which ones’ll feed ya

Go get it, go get it, go get it

Go get it, you want it? Go get it

So what does it mean to walk like an amoeba?

Don’t you need a vision to be a business leader?

And don’t those amoebas move with little feelers

‘Cause they ain’t got no eyes they can see with?

That’s right, but your eyes will deceive ya

No one saw the credit crisis comin’ either

When it comes to gains, people are safe creatures

But when it comes to losses, risk-seekers

Humans are not Econs, that’s wrong

Classical economists have been hittin’ the bong

Cognitive biases are mad strong

Otherwise, you wouldn’t have black swans

Economics is the modern astrology

With crystal balls to predict the economy

And expert advice is like hittin’ the lottery

You gotta be like an amoeba if you wanna lead

Walk like an amoeba

Throw off lots of little feelers

And see which ones’ll feed ya baby
