ian petroski - vanderbilt lyrics

i grew up with nothing
built this from the ground up, i ain’t bluffing
i went to work at the age of 9
10 years later i was doin just fine
put people on the ferry from east to west
tryna make more money than all the rest
born with nothing so i always wanted more
cut-throat — call me the commodore
at age 52 had my first million
needless to say i was brilliant
switched up to the railroads
keep on hustlin till the business explodes
i invented the hostile takeover
keep my face like poker
this isn’t no luck no four leaf clover
kept getting more money as i got older
gould and fisk watered the stock down
made me look like a clown
i made rockefeller now he thinks he can beat me
he, down on his knee
trying to make a monopoly
but he realized i’m the only prodigy
he prayed for me to ship his oil
but to me he wasn’t loyal
if you know grand central yea that’s me
located in the heart of new york city
in the end i left all to my son
hopefully, my legacy has just begun
its been a good run
