SaulPaul - Official SXSW 2012 Recap Rap for Jennifer Pahlka's Keynote lyrics

When I mention government, most people think hysteria Long lines and a lot of barriers Women think of crying and messing their mascara up It's really just a lot more problems than they care for huh? Well I guess obvious is the problem But uh…Who's gon' help to the solve'em Enter Jennifer…..Also known as Ms. Phalka A truth talker, also a problem solver She approached the situation with a different mind state She figured she could do more than decrease the crime rate It seems her perspective was entrepreneurial So she became a hero like them turtles out the sewer Like she was Splinter and she was coaching Donatello She started a org, then she raised up some Fellows Code for America was the name of the org A new kind of public service is basically the core Today's keynote was really a call to action As was evidenced by Jennifer's pa**ion Anyone that seen it live, tweet them and ask'em She made it plain…You can even cash in! If you can code, then there is money to be made There are problems to be solved in new creative ways I think her whole keynote summed up though is this If you're a citizen, see a problem, get it fixed
