[Verse 1]
I sketched it on a napkin
Felt it in my chest
Same folks laughed loud
Now they all want the best
I kept the rough draft
Under lock and key
You can’t buy my timing
You can’t out-think me
[Pre-Chorus]
I built it from nothing
Then I built some more
Turned a wild idea
Into a front door
Now the check keep calling
Like, “Where you been?”
I said, “Right here, baby”
Watch the numbers spin
[Chorus]
Cash for my idea
Cash for my idea
I made it from scratch
Now the bank say, “Yeah”
Cash for my idea
Cash for my idea
You wanted the spark
Now you pay for the flame (pay for the flame)
[Verse 2]
They said it was luck
I said, “Look again”
Every late-night note
Turned into a win
I gave them a vision
They gave me a price
Now my name on the deal
And the deal look nice
I don’t chase the flex
I let the work talk
One bright thought from me
Turned a corner to a block
[Pre-Chorus]
I built it from nothing
Then I built some more
Turned a wild idea
Into a front door
Now the check keep calling
Like, “Where you been?”
I said, “Right here, baby”
Watch the numbers spin
[Chorus]
Cash for my idea
Cash for my idea
I made it from scratch
Now the bank say, “Yeah”
Cash for my idea
Cash for my idea
You wanted the spark
Now you pay for the flame (pay for the flame)
[Bridge]
No handout season
I made my own lane
Signed my own name
Then I watched it change
From a back-room sketch
To a headline win
Now every time they use it
I get paid again
[Final Chorus]
Cash for my idea
Cash for my idea
I made it from scratch
Now the bank say, “Yeah”
Cash for my idea
Cash for my idea
You wanted the spark
Now you pay for the flame (pay for the flame)
Cash for my idea
Cash for my idea
From my head to the hands
Now the money came
