[Verse 1]
In Rust there's a rule that keeps code running clean
Every piece of data has an owner on the scene
When you make a variable and give it some value
That variable owns the data, it's simple and it's true
[Chorus]
One owner at a time, that's the golden rule
Memory stays safe when we use this tool
When the owner goes away, the data disappears
No more memory leaks or programmer fears
One owner at a time, Rust keeps it clear
[Verse 2]
Let's say you have a string stored inside variable one
If you try to give it to another, the first one is done
The ownership has moved now, transferred to the new
The original can't use it, that access is through
[Chorus]
One owner at a time, that's the golden rule
Memory stays safe when we use this tool
When the owner goes away, the data disappears
No more memory leaks or programmer fears
One owner at a time, Rust keeps it clear
[Bridge]
Some types can be copied, like numbers small and light
But strings and bigger structures follow ownership's might
The borrow checker watches, making sure you play it right
No dangling pointers hiding in your code tonight
[Verse 3]
When a function gets called and you pass data in
The function becomes owner, that's how ownership begins
Unless you borrow instead with an ampersand sign
Then the original keeps it, everything's fine
[Chorus]
One owner at a time, that's the golden rule
Memory stays safe when we use this tool
When the owner goes away, the data disappears
No more memory leaks or programmer fears
One owner at a time, Rust keeps it clear
[Outro]
Ownership in Rust makes your programs shine
One owner at a time, by design
