[Intro]
It's all right, it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Gonna make it, can't give up now
I'ma make it somehow
[Verse 1]
Sometimes you just feel like quitting you still might
Working all day and night, coding until it’s light
Sometimes it’s hard enough just dealing with real life
Sometimes it’s like your hands can actually feel strife
So whether you’re a teacher, nurse, or a housewife
I feel your fight, I’m not here to make light
LinkedIn’s just right to set your spirit alight
We’ve got a culture of delight that other jobs just bite
So now I’ll take a minute and share just a little byte
About our apprentice program REACH for the neophytes
Whether it’s code you write or mask CSS image sprites
Competition is tight, but we wanna see that despite
That feeling of stage fright, your passion will still ignite
Read that current job you’re working its last rites
Use your plight as your fuel to REACH new heights
Lift off and take flight, the finish line is in sight…
[Chorus]
It’s a new day, nothing else in your way
(It's alright, it's okay)
Never look back, gotta get through today
(I'm gonna make it anyway)
I think I’ve finally found the place that’s just right for me
(Gonna make it, can't give up now)
LinkedIn really is like no other tech company
(I'ma make it somehow)
I’m never alone, I know right where I’m goin’
(It's alright, it's okay)
Straight to the end zone, I’ll sit down on the throne
(I'm gonna make it anyway)
I’mma see the results of all the seeds that I’ve sown
(Gonna make it, can't give up now)
Just walk down this last mile and never be on my own
(I'ma make it somehow)
[Verse 2]
Once accepted the journey starts, applying’s the first mark
We only look for folks with a strong heart
The job’s so hard, so you gotta go so hard
Navigate without a chart like me trying to hit the charts
And what you do will matter here, a bit part that’s a big part
So many servers say we're bringing it “a la carte”
You can do it, coding isn’t a black art
Impossible to fill your mind like an Amazon cart
Forget these other simps, son, you're unique as Bart
I'm just making a pun, every gender we support
Drive the Rainbow Road to the pot of gold, Mario Kart
That’s a non-traditional route, can’t follow a flowchart
Make an entire career here, bubble to the top like a sort
‘Cause once you’re dyed in white and blue, you can’t tear us apart
And that's the reason I’mma always drop bars
Make you full of smileys like sales at a Walmart
Fill you full of real world knowledge like a schoolyard
And there’s enough here for everyone no need to bogart
But on your end put your best foot forward there’s never a restart
That’s the sweet part first get through the sour like a Sweettart
And I’ll be right behind you, almost like a stale fart
When you take a vacation make sure you send me a postcard
If there’s only one thing on you that I can impart
It’s you’re the front of the pack, herding cats ‘cause you’re so damn smart
Bullseye with a dart in the front of an oxcart
The only live stock the one’s that you make because your broker account grows large
Do you depart? Do you become Descarte?
You choose which like Melissa Joan Hart
[Chorus]
It’s a new day, nothing else in your way
(It's alright, it's okay)
Never look back, gotta get through today
(I'm gonna make it anyway)
I think I’ve finally found the place that’s just right for me
(Gonna make it, can't give up now)
LinkedIn really is like no other tech company
(I'ma make it somehow)
I’m never alone, I know right where I’m goin’
(It's alright, it's okay)
Straight to the end zone, I’ll sit down on the throne
(I'm gonna make it anyway)
I’mma see the results of all the seeds that I’ve sown
(Gonna make it, can't give up now)
Just walk down this last mile and never be on my own
(I'ma make it somehow)
[Outro]
