Get Sh*t Out The Door
Startupella— DJ Led Growth
Track 10 — 4:23
CHORUS
Get shit out the door!
Get shit out the door!
We can't wait anymore—ship now, ship more!
Faster! Harder! We’re feature poor!
Cut the scope and make it soar!
No more drafts, no more delay,
Ship the dream today, today!
Tear the blockers, break the floor,
GET! SHIT! OUT! THE! DOOR!
VERSE 1
Code. Compile. Control. Create.
Our hearts sync to the server's rate.
"Ship," they whisper, "don't be late."
The hum of hope reverberates.
"When we ship," I say, "they'll see,
The art beneath utility."
Each loop a lyric, each class divine,
Each build a hymn to the borderline.
VERSE 2
But ten days gone, and dreams deferred,
The backlog mocks my every word.
So I ship the safe, the dull, the bore—
While vision pounds upon the door.
Midnight merge conflicts haunt my screen,
Tech debt stacks where art has been.
Compromise becomes the law,
Excellence has one fatal flaw—
BREAKDOWN — spoken, beat drops out
(pause)
It takes too long.
CHORUS
Get shit out the door!
Get shit out the door!
We can't wait anymore—ship now, ship more!
Faster! Harder! We’re feature poor!
Cut the scope and make it soar!
No more drafts, no more delay,
Ship the dream today, today!
Tear the blockers, break the floor,
GET! SHIT! OUT! THE! DOOR!
VERSE 3
PMs sigh, execs demand,
Designs abandoned, dreams unmanned.
The roadmap bleeds its hopeful stains,
While meetings schedule all my pains.
Until—a whisper through the wire,
A presence coded from desire.
Not replacement, not a foe,
But partnership I've yet to know.
Perfection dies, replaced by dare.
BRIDGE — the agent arrives
Then silence cuts the office floor,
As AI hums behind the door.
"I'll code for you," the agent cried,
"Our power grows when unified."
Code completion sings in light,
And human hands take flight.
VERSE 4
The backlog fades, the sprint's reborn,
The merge is done, the code transformed.
Now the console hums with grace,
Code compiling at lightning pace.
Each click a spark, each thought a stream,
AI and I—one lucid dream.
No pull request, no build delay,
Just vision coded in a day.
The backlog clears, the clouds align,
The product sings—it's all divine.
