[Intro]
Bills on the counter
Stress in a pile
Heart on empty
Fake a little smile
[Verse 1]
Eviction on the door, landlord tryna press me
Fridge light on, but the shelves look messy
Mama say, "Pray," but the rent still due
Got change in a jar, not a change in view
Calls from the bank, they be ringin' like sirens
Every little debt turn a day into violence
Scrolling through my statements like, "How I let it slide?"
Every number on the screen feel like I already died
[Chorus]
Death feel easy, life feel hard
Storm keep swingin', I'm covered in scars
Trapped in these bills, in this concrete cage
But the storm ain't takin' me, I still rage
Death feel easy, life hit rough
Tears in my throat, yeah, breath in the mud
Drowning in the dark, still I break these chains
'Cause the storm ain't takin' me, I stay in the game
[Verse 2]
Pill bottle talkin' from the side of the sink
Voices in my head say, "You closer than you think"
Auto-tuned cries in the cracked phone speaker
Turn the volume up, let the pain cut deeper
Homie did a bid, came home to a L
Another friend gone, took the stairway to hell
I been on the edge with my feet off the side
But I think of my fam every time I wanna slide
I remember cold nights, floor as a bed
Hunger in my chest, roaches by my head
Now I got a little, but the pressure still grown
Every time I level up, bills get thrown
[Chorus]
