[Intro]
[beat drops in, glitchy]
Yeah
Uh
Listen
[Verse 1]
Cereal for dinner
Homework in a heap
Group chat jumping
I’m stuck sweeping up my room, like… sheesh
Shoes by the front door
Bag on the chair
Ask one question
Mom hit me with the thousand-yard stare
“Did you clean your mess?”
(Kinda)
“Did you pass that test?”
“Sorta”
“Who you think you are?”
I’m the kid that gotta bargain just to walk to the corner
[Chorus]
My mom won’t give me snacks
Says “you had enough, relax”
I’m starving on these tracks
Crunching on my dreams like cracks
My mom won’t let me play games
Says “read books, feed your brain”
Guess I’ll level up this pain
‘Cause I’m grounded, but I’m still going insane
[Verse 2]
Cart in the aisle
Eyes on the toys
Plastic spaceship
Perfect for the squad and the noise
I’m like “Can I get this?”
She like “Put it right back”
I just sighed so hard
Felt the wheels go flat
“All you do is ask”
Facts
“Money doesn’t grow”
Yeah, I know, I know
“So go mow that grass”
Now I’m out here pushing that lawn like it’s cardio
[Chorus]
My mom won’t give me snacks
Says “you had enough, relax”
I’m starving on these tracks
Crunching on my dreams like cracks
My mom won’t buy me toys
Says “you don’t need more noise”
So I turn my hurt to joy
Make a hit out of a kid with no toys
[Bridge]
No snacks?
I’ma cook up schemes
No games?
I’ma grind my dreams
No toys?
I’ma build my own
Out of cardboard, tape, and a microphone (hey!)
[Chorus]
My mom won’t give me snacks
Says “you had enough, relax”
I’m starving on these tracks
Crunching on my dreams like cracks
My mom won’t let me play games
Says “read books, feed your brain”
My mom won’t buy me toys
But she raised a kid who’ll shake up the noise
