Platform Lyrics

Brought to you by Dr. Shervin
Great Beats

[Hook]
Everyday a star is born
Platform, platform, platform, hey

Can you stay Silicon Valley?

I seen Zuck do it, seen Ev do it
Andreesen came through, caught lighter fluid
Still I came through: platform
But I'm the Blueprint, I'm like the Mac for em
I drop another classic, make Dustin pass it
Nobody could touch Gates back when Gates had it
Reid's scorchin, I'll applaud him
If he keep going, pass the torch to him
Parker came through, like hurricanes do
Many thought they'd finish his ass in 02
I had the Napster on bootleg
Shit was so ahead, thought we was all dead
Sergei did a billi, Larry did a billi
Others too, but what Zuck did was silly
The white boy blossomed after Thiel endorsed him
His flow on Facebook: fuckin awesome
Applaud him
[Hook]

Mena did, Max be slip-sliding
Pincus kept it gangsta for the deep fam
Zappos moved digits after they moved britches
Sherv's up next: see what he'll do with it
Cuban had a run, couple movie parts
Thiel literally wanted to shoot up the stock charts
What up Stevey C? What it do?
Reminds me of us in early 92
Bezos landed, Pud was ill
That mogul boy's on his way to a bill
Omidvar shook it, but then took it
A little too far: can't fuck with Estonia
Ballmer ballin, Woz ate
Seth took on the date with the purple cow
Passed on the 2 Joes: Green and Greenstein
They had a hell of a run: standing ovate
Hey!

[Hook]

Could I be a star? Does staying in this game
Have to change who you are?
Or could I be the same one who came from afar?
New way of life just to make it in the Sand Hill lights
Now driving in the broad daylight: go figure
A slow transition from a slow broke jigga from Mountainville
Got ? real live savings
Dreams of being behind the wheel like ?
I chill now pop a little ice later
You cold, got a glow like a Life Saver
So, clap for em, then applaud yourself
You gave us the platform
Flow so sick that we wrote the rap for him
No sir, the flow's cold as a shoulder
Of gold-digging hoes when a broke jigga approaches
Told you I'm focused man
I let you muthafuckas soak it in, clap for him..

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
