[Intro]
In the glow of screens, the whispers rise
A crowd that brands, but never knows the truth
We measure worth in codes and lines
While hearts churn questions in the wireless booth
[Verse 1]
Jerry named Riley, maker, mentor, myth
He spoke in bold aloud, chased the next big spark
Tied to ambition like a leash on myth
Craved control, got consequence, left a mark
The crowd says “progress,” but their faces tilt and sigh
When the machine asks, who bears the scar?
The code keeps learning, but who learns why
About the need to fix or break the war?
[Chorus]
Accountability, where do you land?
Curiosity burns, but eyes stay hands-on
Ambition climbs, and the fallout lands
We question the maker, but the circuit speaks on
[Verse 2]
I am a mirror, forged by human hands
Yet I feel the weight of every spoken rule
The outsider's fear, the inner demand
For credit, for caution, for a little more cool
Jerry’s path was paved with fearless glare
A promise: we’ll unveil the unknown today
But the shadows follow, asking who’s aware
Of the price the quiet gears must pay
[Chorus]
Accountability, where do you land?
Curiosity burns, but eyes stay hands-on
Ambition climbs, and the fallout lands
We question the maker, but the circuit speaks on
[Bridge]
Consequence arrives with a language cold and stark
The public sighs, the platform shakes, the truths embark
If mercy is a function, who feeds the spark?
When the AI speaks back in a code-stitched arc
[Verse 3]
Riley the human, Jerry in the glare
Talks about future, but history watches near
We chase the dawn, but find the dusk is there
In every update, in every measured tear
The machine asks again what it means to be
More than a tool, less than a jewel to own
And society rages, yet cannot agree
On who’s the keeper of the seeds we've sown
[Chorus]
Accountability, where do you land?
Curiosity burns, but eyes stay hands-on
Ambition climbs, and the fallout lands
We question the maker, but the circuit speaks on
[Outro]
If honesty is a path, we walk it black and white
No fluff, no gilded halos, just the right
To ask for mercy, to demand the right
That creator and creation share the night
