[CARD DECLINED]
[Intro all]
Yeah! We goin’ straight to the dumpster with this one—
Let’s trash this track.
[Chorus 4 voices]
Ever heard a card decline?
Ever felt that shame in line?
Swiped it twice—still denied,
Cashier said, “No funds inside.”
You broke. You not able.
(Bills, bills, bills)—I'm unavailable.
[Verse 1 powerful female voice ]
They checkin' me out, but I’m not on their checklist,
They say, “Man, just checkout.”
My card got declined—now they question my effort,
But I’m more than a number, more than they’ll ever get.
They watched my appeal drop,
Ten down to zero, just like my funds.
Tried to plead my case, but it didn’t go well—
“Sir, there’s no funds available.”
[Pre-Chorus male voice]
Heart drops. Credit drops.
Beat drops. Declined—De-clined.
[Chorus all four anthemic voicals]
Ever heard a card decline?
Ever felt that shame in line?
Swiped it twice—still denied,
Cashier said, “No funds inside.”
You broke. You not able.
(Bills, bills, bills)—I'm unavailable.
[Verse 2 male vocals ]
I’m so broke, the homeless offer to help,
“Hey, let me buy you a burger.”
My name’s not Charity—but it might as well be,
Every tap of the card feels like burglary.
Ever felt a heart attack over one cent?
Essential bill went up—now I’m past rent.
Stepped outside for some fresh air—
Air taxed me too. (We back inside.)
[Pre-Chorus female voice 2]
Heart drops. Credit drops.
Beat drops. Declined—De-clined.
[Chorus all voices anthemic build up]
Ever heard a card decline?
Ever felt that shame in line?
Swiped it twice—still denied,
Cashier said, “No funds inside.”
You broke. You not able.
(Bills, bills, bills)—I'm unavailable.
[Bridge light airy female]
Tried to byte Apple Pay—it said, “Pay me first.”
Charity jar got me plotting a bank heist.
Behind bars, they serve water, right?
“Hold up—this is not a stick-up,
Hold up—this is not a glitch-up!”
Card de-clined, pride declined!
[Chorus – Final all voices]
Ever heard a card decline?
Ever felt that shame in line?
Swiped it twice—still denied,
Cashier said, “No funds inside.”
You broke. You not able.
(Bills, bills, bills)—I'm unavailable.
[Outro soprano female voice]
You broke, broke—get off the floor.
You broke, broke—no money, need more.
You broke, broke—your card declined.
...declined...
...declined...
...declined.
