[Verse 1]
Stockbrokers never shoot arrows in the dark
They sketch the constellation first, then aim for every mark
Months before the bell rings, they're mining golden leads
Sorting clients by their hunger, sector tastes, and checking speeds
Risk appetites and wallet depths, they catalog each soul
Building treasure maps of money before they dig for gold
[Chorus]
Build the book before you cook
Qualify, warm, gauge, prioritize
Build the book before you cook
That's the secret Wall Street took
From crowdfunding's amateur eyes
[Verse 2]
Testing waters like a chef before the feast begins
"We're eyeing something tasty in your favorite discipline
If it sparkled with these features, would your checkbook dance?"
Brokers whisper gentle questions, orchestrating finance
Weeks of patient cultivation, planting seeds of want
Before they ever name a price or make their formal jaunt
[Chorus]
Build the book before you cook
Qualify, warm, gauge, prioritize
Build the book before you cook
That's the secret Wall Street took
From crowdfunding's amateur eyes
[Bridge]
Demand dictates the dinner menu
Price flows from appetite, not venue
Early birds get golden portions
This creates magnetic fortions
Those who whisper "yes" first get the feast
While latecomers fight for scraps at least
[Verse 3]
Priority lists reward the eager, punishment for delay
Allocation follows interest like flowers follow day
Terms emerge from temperature, not arbitrary dreams
The offering bends to fit the market's profitable schemes
This ancient dance of supply meeting orchestrated need
Turns every launch into a guaranteed stampede
[Final Chorus]
Build the book before you cook
Qualify, warm, gauge, prioritize
Build the book before you cook
That's the wisdom Wall Street took
Now you've opened up your eyes
[Outro]
Before you have a single thing to sell
Map the buyers who will make your story tell
