graduate - frank the coder lyrics
april 13, 2013, i was still a teen;
but look mum and dad; here i am at
ucla, bruin day
everybody saying “hey”
with them smiles on their face
wow, such a friendly place
oh! what a great feeling
to pursue engineering
at the school of engineering
as i walked down janss steps
i was thinking about the greats
like a marathon yeah they used to run this place
john wooden, jackie robinson, my man kareem (abdul-jabbar)
yeah, that’s right, i want them on my team
i’ve never met james franco
but i’m only frank though
star wars squad show? nah, i go solo!
birthplace of the internet
come out of my silhouette n’
graduate no college debt n’
p-ss my cl-sses give no sweat n’
those were my goals man i won’t forget
i’m ready to start, live life with no regrets
first year into college and i lived in evergreen
i had two great roommates and they were never mean
i was studyin’ ee and i wasn’t carefree
but i liked computer science, that i won’t disagree
took cs 31 though and that was almost checkmate
cause back in high school all i did was speech and debate
no background in coding, yet i kept going
my interest was growing, is ee worth pursuing? (hm?)
i joined this club called ieee
accepted into ops, did some projects for a fee
arduinos, resistors, and leds
i loved side projects, that was the key
when i realized that i needed to go outside my comfort zone
i kinda just decided to apply to be with nso
leading orientation with a great group of people
unforgettable yeah it was pretty cool
summer 2014 was when i met ruthie
she was on my staff, she studies math, and she is lovely
the key moment came around at disneyland
i mustered up the courage and i held. her. hand. (omg!)
frank and ruthie hashtag #fruthie
what a great year, it was everything i asked for
yeah, that’s right! i am ready to be a sophomore
second year i moved to fir 4 aka f4mily crew
i became more busy but i knew what i wanted to do
ivp in esuc with – megha mo kamal the order
hgr in reslife with – albert and p-ssives per quarter
dbo in db with – jimmy and projects he gimme
hackathon everywhere with – ruthie and we both are swifties
uh! i knew cs is what i wanted
switched into the major nope i am not daunted
despite it being my third year, i had a lot of firsts
first year as an ra, with zena i was ok
first time doing research at nasa jpl
first part-time internship man it was at taboola
first moment i realized that i wanted a journey
no, not caffe learning nor any late-night cramming
but intellectual growth way beyond university
the biggest goal i wanna reach, to get the smog right off this beach
of prejudice and ignorance, they lead to negative consequence
and that is why i wanna teach, consider this my keynote speech
uh! let’s go!
fourth year came around, similar to a full circle
i came back from workday, and then it all started
first in reslife, i became ra of fir 4 whoah
watch ahs, second year now we roanoke
just like kayaking, like i used to kayak every year
now i’m taking my floor for the last time tears
uh! but it’s not over, i still explore like a mars rover
i still got things that i wanna do, i still find things that i wish i knew
attend a ball? with my boo; teach a cl-ss? i did that too
bougie brunch i went to two; play ping pong yeah with my crew
matthew asked me “wanna sing?” man you trollin i can’t sing
he gimme chance i said alright; sang at talent show what a night!
placing yourself way outside of your comfort zone
that is my motto now i know it is possible
impossible is what i always tackle in the lab
machine learning research yeah it’s all about the math (backprop!)
i work at vcla on cv u see la
nishant has guided me to a path of lifelong learning
our papers and our projects propel me to keep yearning
i hope to merge my interest for research and for management
at microsoft in washington where sun can be a present
it’s way up north too, canada is where i stemmed
gets a little dark in winter i’mma be used to the pm
nice!
i’d like to thank my parents
i’d like to thank my friends
i’ve been very transparent
it’s my life i don’t pretend
so, therefore, members of my cl-ss
what is the common variable in my rap?
life is too short for us to stay inside our shells
sudo script that shit, compile, and live your moments well!
peace!
