[Verse 1]
Born broke
Hand-me-down hopes
Mama counting quarters
Like they might turn to gold
Cold coffee
Late rent on the floor
Smiling like "I'm fine"
While the wolves scratch the door
[Pre-Chorus]
Every old head preaching
"Son
It all fades out"
If it fades anyway
Let me cash that doubt
[Chorus]
They say money don’t buy happiness
Let me find that out myself
Pile those bills up to my neck
If it still feels like hell
They say money don’t buy happiness
While they guard their loaded shelves
If it can’t fix this emptiness
I’ll buy my own way down to hell
[Verse 2]
Black card fantasy
Name on the glass
Room full of strangers
Laughing too fast
Big house
Locked rooms in my mind
If I’m still this broken
At least the sheets feel fine
[Pre-Chorus]
If it can’t heal my heartache
Can it buy me time
A little less survival
A little more borderline
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Give me gleaming teeth and poison suits
Give me velvet ropes and rotten fruit
If I’m still screaming in a silk-lined bed
At least I’ll scream loud with a full damn glass instead
[guitar solo]
[Breakdown]
[whispered vocals]
Ba-da-bap
Ba-da-bap
Skrr-rat-tat
Heart attack
[vocal fry scat]
Bruh-da
Bru-da
Braaah
Sha-ka-ka
Sha-ka-ka
Raw
Dark hum under my tongue
Tongue tied
Tide’s high
I’m numb
[Chorus]
