Gamble and a Bet

The nice thing about AI music is that you can make the lyric philosophical. It's not that nonsense lyrics aren't "meaningful" in a musical context. Lyrics don't have to necessarily make sense, but with AI you have that option. I could never be a blues artist and wouldn't want to be, but I can be the lyricist--and somehow Cadillac Tank is the group that "recorded" it, when in fact it's a mashup of tracks from recordings.

Basketball player Kobe Bryant "To be able to constantly try to be the best version of yourself. I never tried to prove anything to someone else. I wanted to prove something to myself." "Heroic strivers, like Kobe Bryant, are focused on their own excellence. They might compare themselves to others who surpass them, but not with the attitude that these others are diminishing their mattering, but rather to assess their own level of excellence, or perhaps learn from and be inspired by them.  “I would see something I liked in person or on film, go practice it immediately, practice it more the next day, and then go out and use it. By the time I reached the league, I had a short learning curve. I could see something, download it, and have it down pat.” Heroic strivers, unlike mattering competitors, don’t experience the superiority of others as loss and pain. It doesn’t diminish their sense of flourishing." [Mattering Instinct]

Every day
Is a gamble and a bet
That you'll be better
Than someone else
Sometimes
(Sometimes, who knew?)
That person is you

Nostalgia for nostalgia
Older than the old
Always what they'll sell ya
Just buy it an be bold

Nostalgia for nostalgia
Older than the old
Always what they'll tell ya
Just say it an be bold

Every day
Is a gamble and a bet
That you'll be better
Than someone else
Sometimes
(Sometimes, who knew?)
That person is you

It's harder to find
Something when you're lost
Once there’s a fee
Will you want to sink the cost?

Every day
Is a gamble and a bet
That you'll be better
Than someone else
Sometimes
(Sometimes, who knew?)
That person is you
