[Verse]
I walk in the office like a lit match on the floor
Door swings wide and the neon buzz just shakes
Ten grand missing from my account like a thief in my drawer
I slam the letter on the glass and my throat just aches
Saying how you gonna rob me I got bills and a war in my head
[Verse 2]
Lady at the window got a coffee ring halo on her desk
She say sir that is back due you been gone for a year
I laugh kinda broken kinda loud like a cracked old cassette
Say I bought new rims new chains not diapers not tears
Now the past got interest and it bites like a dog at my leg
[Prechorus]
Was I a father or a rumor in a text thread
Tell me why a tiny pair of shoes feel heavier than lead
[Chorus]
Back child support got me bleeding at the ATM
Back child support like a DJ spinning all my regrets again
You say thats for the nights when the crib was cold
Thats for every bedtime story you never told
Back child support back child support back child support you owe me
[Verse 3]
You on the phone from the parking lot breathing fire in the rain
Saying this system is crooked and they cutting your fun
But I see your kid in the photo with a paper crown and my last name
And I know every missed birthday just lined up into one
Now the music in my car sound like court dates and late fees
[Bridge]
I wanted bottles and lights now I get invoices and fights
Thought I ran from love but it runs in my blood and my rights
Maybe this hurt is just rent on a soul I ignored
Maybe that ten grand is cheap for a heart I can afford
