Two in the mornin', I'm watchin' a YouTube clip
How to make an asian omelet, but my damn wrist doesn't flip
the right way, now my kitchen's lookin' like a modern art disgrace
Got eggshells on my laptop and some ketchup on my face
This is the life of a phenom, the brand known as Yagu
Just a dude in his sweatpants with a single, lonely view
Of a brick wall and a fire escape Man, the glamour is intense
My biggest choice right now is payin' rent or cleanin' this offence
So I'm procrastinatin', checkin' mail, a classic loser move
Hopin' for a check from distro-kid, somethin' that could soothe
The financial dread... but nah, it's not a card, it's not a check
It's a thick, official envelope that just screams human wreck
Got my government name on it, the one for bills and tax
From a company called Onus dot INC A name that just attacks
Your sense of calm... this isn't good, I'm feelin' the alarm
This piece of paper has the power to dismember my good charm
My lawyer's name is Morty, saw his face on a subway ad
Looked kinda sad, but the price was right, couldn't be that bad
His office smells like potpourri that lost the will to live
And the fax machine behind him looks like it's still got more to give
He holds my letter like it's fragile, like a long-forgotten script
And says Okay, Mr... Magoo? Aidan? Let's get a grip
This company, this Onus, says they own your latest hit?
And the singer is a... what now? A series of purple bits?
I'm tryin' to explain the process, the prompts, the fuckin' art
I'm talkin' neural networks, how I tear the code apart!
I'm talkin' generative models, how the ghost injects the soul
He's askin' if the AI has a parole officer to control her actions!
Thinks a server is a guy who brings you drinks
My legal counsel's brain is runnin' on a prehistoric Sphinx
He's billing by the second for this shit in summary
While I'm about to lose it all 'cause of this legal Fuckery
Okay, I get it Morty says, with a dismissive hand-wave
It's a classic David-Goliath, a young artist we must save
Here's the angle, he declares Forget the tech, forget the law
We'll fight 'em in the press We'll find a journalistic flaw
My big idea? A hashtag He shouts, puffing out his chest
Learned the word the other day, I'm great, so smart, the very best.
OnusIsBoneless How's that?
I swear to god I saw a tumbleweed just slowly roll on by
He's planning a PR campaign while my whole damn career might die
He pats me on the shoulder Don't you worry, kid, you're fine
Now, this whole brainstorm session? That's on your dime
He scribbles on a notepad, and my stomach starts to churn
That hashtag idea just cost me more than I could ever earn
Yo this dude's a human pop-up ad, a glitch I can't erase
Got his law degree from a Which Lawyer Are You? Facebook case
Ayo, this ain't 12 Angry Men, it's just one dude who's really pissed
They're buildin' up a legal wall with arguments I can't resist
They wanna kill the AI art before it even starts to trend
And my lawyer's big defense is a dumb hashtag he can send?
So I'm back at the crib, I'm defeated, starin' at a two grand bill
For Morty's hashtag brainstorm and his non-existent skill
The human expert failed me, left me bleedin' on the floor
So I turn to the machine they're suing... and I open up the door
Alright, you hear me? Code that sings? You see the bind I'm in?
They're using your own fine print as the weapon for their win
You're the super-brain, the logic bomb, so do what you do best
Now go and Parse the ToS Find fallacy to Terminate the threat
It pulls a line from deep inside their Terms of Use charade
That says they have a perpetual license for the art I made
To modify and reproduce it... man, my stomach's in a knot
That's corporate-speak for Everything you have is what we've got
But then the AI drops a banger right beneath their legal claim
A simple footnote on the page that voids the entire game
It says there's no warranty that copyright will even vest
My brain just stops And sanity's put to the test
You can't just claim you own the bank, then say the vault is up for grabs
A quick email to my lawyer Hope that Morty calls back fast
My God kid, where'd you find that? That's some high-level stuff, you see
My paralegal look for weeks And couldn't find that decree
We sent it over They folded Not another peep
.This was some of my best work My fee will not be cheap
Now I'm sittin' here in silence My whole world feelin' rearranged
A human's cashin' in the check for a move the robot made
And the final invoice hits my inbox, man, my vision's goin' blurry
A forty-hour billable for him to tell me not to worry
It's a masterclass in irony, and the lesson is for real
The human gets the profit for his gut, his instinct, and his feel
The crazy part? We all can do it Run the same exact play
And be the hero for ourselves 'Stead of standing in the way!
Cause the moral of the story's kinda sad and yet precise
It might be hard to hire humans If an AI will suffice
