This track comes from Aaron's startup DNA — the philosophy that convention is just a suggestion. It tackles The absurdity of pitch culture, condensing your life's work into slides, Aaron's unconventional approach to selling his vision. The lyrics get specific — "I got a DD-214 and a will to find a way" — because personal tracks on Majik's are personal for real, not performatively. The upbeat production matches the energy of the confession. It hits witty and energetic, 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]
Slide one, here's the problem, music's hard to make
Slide two, here's the solution, Magic Unicorn's the stake
Slide three, total addressable market, yeah it's big
Slide four, Aaron Stransky, Navy vet who learned to dig
They want a hockey stick graph and a fancy MBA
I got a DD-214 and a will to find a way
Pitch deck on a laptop with sand still in the keys
VCs don't know what to do with founders like me
[chorus]
Pitch deck, pitch deck, let me tell you what I'm worth
Pitch deck, pitch deck, built an empire from the earth
You want projections? I got results already done
Pitch deck, pitch deck, I'm the unconventional one
[verse 2]
Slide five, competitive advantage, there is none
Nobody builds like A-A-Ron, this race is already won
Slide six, the team, well, you're looking at it, chief
One man operation, I know it's beyond belief
Slide seven, revenue model, yeah, I'll figure that part out
I'm too busy building features to worry about the clout
Slide eight, the ask, honestly just watch
I don't need your money, I'm already top notch
[chorus]
Pitch deck, pitch deck, let me tell you what I'm worth
Pitch deck, pitch deck, built an empire from the earth
You want projections? I got results already done
Pitch deck, pitch deck, I'm the unconventional one
[bridge]
They want a unicorn? I am the unicorn
Born in the Navy, on Folly Beach reborn
Don't need a deck to prove my worth to you
The product speaks for itself, and it's overdue
[chorus]
Pitch deck, pitch deck, let me tell you what I'm worth
Pitch deck, pitch deck, built an empire from the earth
You want projections? I got results already done
Pitch deck, pitch deck, I'm the unconventional one
[outro]
Close the laptop
The pitch is the product
Next slide, please
