Lyrics

A Serb with a dream, a journey not done, uh-huh The battle of currents has only begun, uh-huh [EDISON] I hear a buzz, but it's not from my wire, uh-huh Your sparks may fly but my resolve is dire, uh-huh You think you're the future, the next big thing, ha I'm the name they know, let's see what you bring, uh-huh [TESLA] From the streets I wander, to the lab I claim, uh-huh With each invention, I'm building my name, uh-huh The obstacles many, but my mind is steady, uh-huh In the currents' dance, I'll prove that I'm ready, uh-huh [VERSE 1 - YOUNG TESLA] From Smiljan to New York, ambition starts to churn, uh-huh With a mind like a storm, each lesson I discern, uh-huh Sketching visions in the sand, to the future I yearn, uh-huh And in the glow of each new dawn, for greatness I burn, uh-huh [EDISON] But who’s this boy genius stepping on my stage, right? With his alternating current, trying to win the light fight But I'm the Wizard of Menlo, the electric age’s prime knight Let's see if Nik can handle the heat of a true Edison light, uh-huh [TESLA] In a lab where sparks will fly, uh-huh Ideas birthing, watch them multiply, uh-huh Electric currents, AC to DC, uh-huh They doubt but I'll rewrite history, uh-huh [EDISON] Tom's got bulbs but Nik's got vision, don't blink Tossing lightning like it's just intuition, think Wardencliff Tower reaching to the sky Alternating currents, gonna watch him fly, uh-huh [MORGAN] Funding wonders, I'm the cash that starts the show, uh-huh In this circus of volts, it's money that I throw, uh-huh Will Tesla's dreams take flight, or will they blow, uh-huh Only the sparks of genius and greenbacks will truly know, uh-huh [TESLA] Colorado Springs, my stage under the stars, uh-huh Harnessing the lightning, breaking all the bars, uh-huh The world wirelessly connected, from Boulder to Mars, uh-huh Nikola's name in lights, bright as the celestial czars, uh-huh [J.P. MORGAN] High stakes in this electric bet, uh-huh I’m the banker, the king of the set, uh-huh With my money, I pull the strings Watch inventions soar, or clip their wings, uh-huh [TESLA] Won’t be another pawn in their greedy games, uh-huh I’ll light up the world, and they’ll remember my name, uh-huh Wardenclyffe falls, but my spirit won't shatter For ideas are bullets, and mine will scatter, uh-huh [EDISON] Nik, you reach for the stars but fall for the fame I craft practical dreams, not those just in name [MUSK] From electric cars to a Martian dream, uh-huh Tesla's legacy, now it's not what it seems, uh-huh Reinventing wheels on the tech frontier, uh-huh Innovating where others steer clear, uh-huh [EDISON] But dreams need more than just sparks to thrive They need conviction to keep them alive So let’s turn up the voltage and make it loud May the best inventor step out of the crowd, uh-huh [TESLA] For every trial, for every test, uh-huh Bringing light to the world, that's my quest, uh-huh
