Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Scroll thumb sore
Bank app red
Rent due twice
Same month in my head
Headline screaming
“Just grind, succeed”
But the math don’t match
What they preach, what we need
Mom says save
Dad says invest
I’m like “with what?”
Spare change and stress
Degree on the wall
Like a museum piece
Got a job, got a side
Still feel broke each week
[Chorus]
We tryna grow in a garden of concrete
Paycheck dust every time that we breathe
They say “work hard” like it’s that simple
Whole world heavy on a cracked little window
We tryna climb but the ladder keeps shifting
Bills stack high and the ceiling keeps drifting
If you feel lost in the price of living
You’re not alone, you’re not alone (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Leaders on screens
Argue like teens
Turn our fears
Into clicks, into memes
One side shouting
Other side too
I just want peace
And a place I can move
Every ad says
“I can fix your soul”
For a monthly fee
On a payment plan loan
We laugh in group chats
Cry in the DMs
Act like we’re fine
Then avoid ATM
[Chorus]
We tryna grow in a garden of concrete
Paycheck dust every time that we breathe
They say “work hard” like it’s that simple
Whole world heavy on a cracked little window
We tryna climb but the ladder keeps shifting
Bills stack high and the ceiling keeps drifting
If you feel lost in the price of living
You’re not alone, you’re not alone (oh)
[Bridge]
Promise I’ma keep my heart intact
Even if the numbers never add up back
If all I own is this breath, this beat
I’ll still plant hope in this broke-down street
(yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
We tryna grow in a garden of concrete
Paycheck dust every time that we breathe
They say “work hard” like it’s that simple
Whole world heavy on a cracked little window
We tryna climb but the ladder keeps shifting
Bills stack high and the ceiling keeps drifting
If you feel lost in the price of living
You’re not alone, you’re not alone
