Shark Tank is an American reality television series that premiered August 9, 2009, on ABC. The show is a franchise of the international format Dragons' Den, which originated in Japan in 2001. Shark Tank shows aspiring entrepreneur-contestants make business presentations to a panel of "shark" investors, who then choose whether or not to invest.
The show is currently in its seventh season, and has been a ratings success in its timeslot. It has also won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Structured Reality Program twice. Two further adaptations of the Dragons' Den format, one in Australia and one in Portugal, have been named Shark Tank. A third, an Italian version, was announced but has not aired.
Shark Tank is produced by Mark Burnett and based on the international format Dragon's Den, which originated in 2001 with the Japanese show Tigers of Money. The show, however, more closely resembles the format of the British version, Dragons' Den, which premiered in 2005. The show features a panel of potential investors, called "sharks," who consider offers from aspiring entrepreneurs seeking investments for their business or product. The sharks are paid for their participation in the show, but the money they invest is their own. The entrepreneur can make a deal on the show if a panel member is interested. However, if all of the panel members opt out, the entrepreneur leaves empty-handed. The show is said to portray "the drama of pitch meetings and the interaction between the entrepreneurs and tycoons." A one-hour pitch by a contestant is edited down to "a dramatic 10-minute segment."
Yeah,
We was dancing on the beat like phantoms in our sneaks,
Hanker chief to wipe it, sadness couldn’t fight it,
Sandman’s like a viper, who sweeps up to tilt the hour glass,
Before she had a minute to fight the,
Cancer in her beat, yeah Hansel’s will is weak cause he gave up on Greddle,
To escape she had to make nice with the devil,
She can recall all the kettles and pots, pinpoint the pain,
To the very last spot where she seen him,
Swallowed her way down to Phoenix, hopped on the bus man,
Hallow be the reason, followed all the trees in line to the next stop,
She doesn’t get off, just keeps drilling away at that greyhound,
CA state bound, new life is what she’s thinking,
You got to break ground to build,
She got to break down to full the void that he left but she still
Caught in a shark tank,
Trying to break free,
You trying to get bit,
Man you could swim in the sea,
But you can’t stop the waves,
You can’t stop the waves,
Nah not today
Caught in a shark tank,
Trying to break free,
You trying to get bit,

Painters use a canvas and poets like to paint words,
She reads the decorations,
She got half way to heaven, then they had to stop and let in,
A few more people,
Take a peep through the peep hole of the ego to see all the pieces of evil,
Needle made of cheap gold, searching through a hay stack,
For faint facts to justify the take back,
Man this is how you shape that,
Stop coming up soon,
Hops up the bus moves,
She never gets off, it never really stopped,
She never really learned,
It’s not about the ride,
It’s all about the time when you find what’s inside,
Yeah,
Go on and swim to the edge of the world where your mind might collide with the fianite design that’s kept you alive, and when you get to that edge, ask yourself,
What you gonna do, jump or dive?

Man you could swim in the sea,
But you can’t stop the waves,
You can’t stop the waves,
Nah not today
