Dad, can I be a programmer?
Of course
But am I wise enough?
You know what? You need to hear the story of Jacob
Jacob was a kid with a dream in his eyes
Wanted to be a coder writing code to the skies
Sat in his room late nights, no one followed
Learning hello world while his friends said no
School hit hard, syntax made him sweat, semicolons missing
He'd forget then regret while loops infinite
Programs crash on run, debugging all night while the sun begun
Teachers told him slow down, classmates didn't care
But Jacob saw the future and the logic laid bare
Push after push, he refused to break
Stacked traces, taught lessons no book could make
As semesters rolled on, he began to ascend
Functions became friends, loops turned to trends
He looked at the galaxy of code and felt wonder struck
Jacob's drive was powerful, never based on luck
One by one concepts started to click
Jacob's mind sharpened like a brand new trick
Never give up, never slow your code
Jacob built his future in debug mode, yeah
Errors on the screen but he pressed run again
Turning failures into power line after line pan
He kept his focus while the world said no
Stacking his knowledge, letting true skill grow
From syntax mistakes to systems he owned
Every bug a lesson, every crash a milestone
Why can't you just be like...
Normal people his coworkers told
Jacob's mind didn't listen, he knew his path till he will get old
No gold if his feet gets cold
Graduation came, Jacob landed a role
Intern at a firm trying to achieve his goal
Walked in with his badge, eyes full of light
But the office people laughed at his nerdy sight
Look at Jacob, he's a geek, not our kind
They whispered in corners throwing shade from behind
But the IT crew saw something burning inside
A kid who could code with a flawless stride
He debugged their service, automated their tasks
Turned spaghetti scripts into clean tight stacks
While the others mocked the IT team grew proud, knowing Jacob's skills were talking loud
Never give up, never slow your code
Jacob built his future in debug mode
Errors on the screen but he pressed run again
Turning failures into power line after line pan
He kept his focus while the world said no
Stacking his knowledge, letting true skill grow
From syntax mistakes to systems he own
Every bug a lesson, every crash a milestone
Why can't you just be like...
Normal people his coworkers told
Jacob's mind didn't listen, he knew his path till he will get old
No gold if his feet gets cold
Jacob didn't care about the whispers and hate they bring
He wanna be the coder, designer, deployer and the king
Every click, every script, a line of his song
In the terminal world he was never wrong
Promotion came knocking, now second in command
Under the IT boss with the digital plan
Still the loser to some, but his work spoke true
A faded tattoo of persistence, that's what he knew
One by one, coworkers came to his door
Jacob can you make this tool, can you add one more?
He coded their workflows, built functions with ease
Interdimensional thinking put their minds at peace
Respect grew slow, but respect ran deep
Jacob planting seeds the company would keep
He always had a deep
Connect to the Zetbit project
Never give up, never slow your code
Jacob built his future in the debug mode
Errors on the screen, but he pressed run again
Turning failures into power line after line pen
He kept his focus while the world said no
Stacking his knowledge, letting true skill grow
From syntax mistakes to systems he owned
Every bug a lesson, every crash a milestone
Why can't you just be like normal people his coworkers told
Jacob's mind didn't listen, he knew his path till he will get old
No gold if his feet gets cold
Five years later, Jacob stands tall
Boss of IT, commanding it all
The same ones who mock now shake his hand
Calling him a hero, the heart of the brand
All their workflows, systems and streams
Built by Jacob from his coding dreams
He automated the future, he mapped every part
Digital capture flowing from his heart
They see a king in the code, a mentor in the room
A wizard of logic who banished their gloom
He tells the juniors I was once just like you
Errors on my screen, but I pushed on through
And he says it clear, his mind to rely
Wherever you are on your code journey, survive
Never give up, just like Jacob rise
Turn your struggles into skills and claim your prize
