The CodeNomad - The pursuit of knowledge Lyrics

From the equator to the frost my journey began
A dreamer with a mission no guide no plan
Against the odds I carved my way
Knowledge was the beacon that led each day

Straight out of high school left my homeland
Africa to America no hand in hand
Top up minutes no WhatsApp calls
Just a mission to rise above it all

Cleaning floors by night papers at dawn
Daycare shifts and retail carried on
Summer's blaze winter's bite I faced the toll
Each step forward strengthened my soul

Pursuit of knowledge the power the key
Breaking the barriers unlocking the dream
Through the cold and the grind I made it my own
Fueled by the fire the seeds I'd sown

Packed my car hit the road my chance to chase
Driving through the frost life's cold embrace
Slept in freezing rest stops dreams in my heart
No guide no manual but I played my part

Arrived in Denver mission in mind
To learn to grow and knowledge to find
From 747s to code on a screen
I turned my passion into reality unseen

This is for the ones who feel out of place
Who grind through the storms who dare to embrace
Passion is the compass knowledge the light
Through every struggle you'll find your fight

Pursuit of knowledge the power the key
Breaking the barriers unlocking the dream
Through the cold and the grind I made it my own
Fueled by the fire the seeds I'd sown

From janitor to coder I broke the wall
Asked the questions learned it all
From junior to senior I rose with grace
The only one like me in every space

Remote work before the trend skills refined
Pioneered solutions problems resigned
Built an empire with ideas untold
Knowledge is power it's worth more than gold

This is my journey my legacy to leave
To inspire the dreamers to help them believe
Pursue knowledge let passion ignite
Success isn't luck it's earned through the fight

Pursuit of knowledge the power the key
Breaking the barriers unlocking the dream
Through the cold and the grind I made it my own
Fueled by the fire the seeds I'd sown
