Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Got a jar on the dresser Got a list on the phone Every little cent that I never see spent That's a brick for a place I own (yeah) [Verse 1] I was swipin' like it’s nothin' Every tap, every charge, every lunch in Then I checked all the fees I was stuck in I was payin' just to say I was stuntin' Nah Clipped deals on the kitchen table Hand-me-down couch, called it cable-ready stable Left shoes in the cart, let 'em sit, I was able To walk past wants, that’s the glow-up label Friday night used to blow half a paycheck Now I cook rice, throw spice, still I stay fed Poured what I saved in a “future” envelope Funny how a budget kinda feel like hope [Chorus] Save that money, don’t play with it (hey!) Pack that jar, go crazy with it Every lil’ coin, put a name on it Vacation, debt gone, new place on it Save that money, stack slow, don’t rush Skip that flex, keep the bus, no crush Every time I say “nah,” that’s a raise I gave me Broke old habits just to pay me, pay me [Verse 2] Brown-bag lunch, that’s a quiet little flex Got leftovers, next day, double checks Friends say, “Live big, swipe it, what’s the stress?” But I like watchin' numbers climb, not the mess Turned off lights, let the bill fall down Called that plan, “More cash, less clown” Used to chase drip, drown deep in the trend Now I chase interest, money makin’ friends DIY cut, buzzed hair in the sink Add that cost to the stash, let it link Every sacrifice just a short lil’ blink For that long driveway and a spare-house key, think [Chorus] Save that money, don’t play with it (yeah!) Pack that jar, go crazy with it Every lil’ coin, put a name on it Vacation, debt gone, new place on it Save that money, stack slow, don’t rush Skip that flex, keep the bus, no crush Every time I say “nah,” that’s a raise I gave me Broke old habits just to pay me, pay me [Bridge] I ain’t cheap, I’m choosy (choosy) I pick peace over movie (movie) I pick sleep over stress Every “later” turn “yes,” that’s the new me (new me) One more dollar I don’t burn One more month, that’s what I earn Funny how boring can turn To a key in the door when it’s your turn [Chorus] Save that money, don’t play with it Pack that jar, go crazy with it Every lil’ coin, put a name on it Graduation, debt gone, new place on it Save that money, stack slow, don’t rush (don’t rush) Skip that flex, keep the bus, no crush Every time I say “nah,” that’s a raise I gave me Broke old habits just to pay me, pay me
