Dollar And A Wish

Got a dollar and a wish

Folded in my back pocket, kinda stiff

Grandma said pray, I just grit my teeth

Talk to the ceiling, hope it talks back to me

Long walk, loose change in my jeans

Bus card dying, but I still chase dreams

Friends hit the club, I hit the late shift

Smelling like grease, still calling it patience

Scrolling through a life that ain't mine

Gold on the screen, I got dust on my Nikes

Tell myself "one day," every night

Like I'm selling hope on the side, half-price

All I got is a dollar and a wish

Heart full of holes, trying to patch it with this

If I toss it in the sky, will it fall or will it fix?

All I got, all I got

Is a dollar and a wish (yeah)

All I got is a dollar and a wish

Talking to the dark like it's something I can kiss

If it never turns to more, can I still say that I lived?

All I got, all I got

Is a dollar and a wish (oh)

Mama in the kitchen, counting late fees

Saying "baby, dream big," eyes say "save me"

I was writing bars in the margins of a light bill

Praying every verse might turn into a lifeline

Couple homies quit, said it takes too long

Now they hate they job, still hate these songs

I ain't got much, but I got this fire

Ramen in the pot, big plans on the wire

I been broke, I been bent, I ain't broke down

Every little L just a brick in this ghost town

I keep building from the pieces they dismiss

Pocket on empty, soul on rich

All I got is a dollar and a wish

Heart full of holes, trying to patch it with this

If I toss it in the sky, will it fall or will it fix?

All I got, all I got

Is a dollar and a wish

All I got is a dollar and a wish

Talking to the dark like it's something I can kiss

If it never turns to more, can I still say that I lived?

All I got, all I got

Is a dollar and a wish (yeah)

If I lose this dollar

Can I keep that wish?

If the world feels smaller

Can I still feel big? (uh)

If I never make it farther

Than this cracked front step

Tell me, is it still a failure

If I gave all I had left?

All I got is a dollar and a wish

Heart full of holes, trying to patch it with this

If I toss it in the sky, will it fall or will it fix?

All I got, all I got

Is a dollar and a wish

All I got is a dollar and a wish

Talking to the dark like it's something I can kiss

If it never turns to more, can I still say that I lived?

All I got, all I got

Is a dollar and a wish
