Lyrics
Jack was scrolling late at night
On his phone under dim blue light
Saw an ad for "Beans Extreme"
"Grow your fortune, live the dream!"
Sold his PS5 to buy the lot
Told his mom, "Don't worry, I've got a plot"
She rolled her eyes, said, "You're a fool"
But Jack was playing by his own cool rules
Planted the beans in the backyard dirt
Woke up to a stalk that ripped his shirt
"Guess I'm climbing, there's cash to gain"
But this ain't your grandma's fairytale lane
Jack and the stalk, the modern edition
A get-rich scheme turned into a mission
Up in the clouds, where dreams collide
Where tech meets magic and giants hide
But hold on tight, there's a plot twist near
In the beanstalk biz, nothing's clear
At the top, he found a floating mall
With giants running tech in every hall
Crypto coins and NFTs
Selling "Magic Cloud" subscriptions with fees
Jack thought, "I'll just hack the bank"
But the giants saw him, said, "Thanks for the prank!"
With cameras rolling, they streamed his heist
Jack went viral, but not the nice kind
"Fee-fi-fo-fum," the giants grinned
"Jack, my boy, let the games begin!"
Now he's trending, their newest star
A cautionary tale of how dreams go far
Jack and the stalk, the modern edition
A get-rich scheme turned into a mission
Up in the clouds, where dreams collide
Where tech meets magic and giants hide
But hold on tight, there's a plot twist near
In the beanstalk biz, nothing's clear
The giants weren't villains; they ran a show
Reality TV where drama flows
"Jack the Hacker" was the season's hit
Now he's trapped in contracts, can't quit
He's got sponsors, ads, a merch line too
But no way home, no follow-through
Fame's a prison, his face a brand
Livestreaming his life in giant-land
Jack's mom is chillin', sipping tea
Sold his story rights to a streaming spree
She bought a mansion, lives her best life
While Jack's stuck filming, dodging strife
The twist is clear: in chasing fame
Jack's the player who lost the game
The beanstalk taught him, loud and strong
Sometimes the shortcut's the longest wrong
Jack and the stalk, the modern edition
A get-rich scheme turned into submission
Up in the clouds, where dreams collide
Where tech meets magic and giants hide
He reached for gold, but all he found
Was a gilded cage, fame tightly bound
So if you see a beanstalk, think twice
Climbing for riches comes with a price
Jack's still streaming, stuck in the sky
The face of ambition gone awry
Fairy tales may glitter, but here's the score
The grass ain't greener when you want more
