Eliminate the Waste

This track comes from the overlap of beach life and CTO life — morning surf sessions bleeding into architecture reviews. It tackles Applying Lean principles to cut out toxic people, bad habits, and everything that doesn't serve growth. The lyrics get specific — "Waiting on people who were never going to show" — because personal tracks on Majik's are personal for real, not performatively. The boom bap production matches the energy of the confession. It hits empowered and decisive, in that order. Every personal track in the catalogue comes from a real moment, a real feeling, a real person. This one is no exception.

[verse 1] Seven types of waste and I found them all in life Overproduction of excuses, creating extra strife Waiting on people who were never going to show Transporting myself to places I don't need to go Stransky with the value stream, mapping out the pain Highlighting every process step that's driving me insane Black Belt in the art of knowing what to cut Lean Six Sigma living, cleaning up the rut [chorus] Eliminate the waste, cut the fat, keep the lean Eliminate the waste, only keep what's evergreen Do more with less, that's the motto of my soul Eliminate the waste and finally feel whole [verse 2] Inventory of grudges taking up my mental space Motion wasted chasing people who don't know my face Overprocessing apologies they'll never hear Defects in my judgment letting wrong ones near A-A-Ron's done with non-value-added days OG Unicorn streamlining all his ways The Navy taught me discipline, Six Sigma taught me how To cut the waste and focus on the value now [chorus] Eliminate the waste, cut the fat, keep the lean Eliminate the waste, only keep what's evergreen Do more with less, that's the motto of my soul Eliminate the waste and finally feel whole [bridge] Some people are bottlenecks in your life Some habits are defects causing strife A Black Belt knows when to let things go Streamline the process, improve the flow [chorus] Eliminate the waste, cut the fat, keep the lean Eliminate the waste, only keep what's evergreen Do more with less, that's the motto of my soul Eliminate the waste and finally feel whole [outro] Kaizen, continuous improvement Every single day That's the Stransky movement
