This track comes from pure ambition — the boss-mode mindset that builds empires before breakfast. It tackles Being resourceful and scrappy — finding solutions in unexpected places, MacGyver mentality, the creative problem-solving that comes from not having resources. The lyrics get specific — "Give me duct tape and a dream, I'll build a rocket" — because personal tracks on Majik's are personal for real, not performatively. The bounce production matches the energy of the confession. It hits energetic and playful, 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]
Give me duct tape and a dream, I'll build a rocket
Give me a dollar fifty, I'll flip a profit in my pocket
Scrappy is my default, scrappy is my setting
While they're planning for perfection, I'm already letting
The prototype loose, yeah it's rough around the edge
But it works and that's the thing that gives me leverage
Against the ones with funding and the ones with staff
I got ingenuity and a paragraph
Of ideas scribbled on a napkin at the bar
That'll take us further than their money ever got so far
[chorus]
Scrappy, that's how I roll
No silver spoon, just a hungry soul
Scrappy, making something shine
Out of whatever's on the line
Call me scrappy, call me resourceful
Call me the one who makes it work when it's not supposed to
[verse 2]
They got the budget for the premium subscription
I got the open-source and a little bit of friction
That makes the solution better because it had to fight
To exist at all, and that's the oversight
That money people miss, the struggle is the sauce
The limitation is the innovation's boss
OG Unicorn ain't scrappy because he has to be
He's scrappy because scrappy sets the better free
A-A-Ron in the kitchen making gourmet from the scraps
While they're ordering takeout and taking naps
[chorus]
Scrappy, that's how I roll
No silver spoon, just a hungry soul
Scrappy, making something shine
Out of whatever's on the line
Call me scrappy, call me resourceful
Call me the one who makes it work when it's not supposed to
[bridge]
Constraints are just creativity in disguise
Poverty of resources, richness of the mind
Every wall's a door if you look at it right
Every dead end's just a left turn in the night
[chorus]
Scrappy, that's how I roll
No silver spoon, just a hungry soul
Scrappy, making something shine
Out of whatever's on the line
Call me scrappy, call me resourceful
Call me the one who makes it work when it's not supposed to
[outro]
Scrappy and proud
That's the unicorn way
