(Yo, deadass?) (Again with the hand out, dun?) Hold up, we just did this yesterday, what’s the word? You grillin’ me for the stack as if I’m the mint, word is bond. Stop the track, let me breathe. Every time I walk in, it’s the same frequency, same static. You asking for the green as the engine of this whole thing. It’s comical at this point, son, for real. Damn your brawl from way down in Tennessee. (Yeah, Nashville vibe) Had a wife, made his life full of misery. (Facts) That’s the history, no mystery in the vicinity. I’m providing, gliding, surviving in this city. You was humming blues, moaning till the sun came up. Now you want the Polo Sport, fill the golden cup. Lending is the love language, or so you claim. But the stress in my chest is the only thing with a name. I’m the one you ping when the Nautica drops. Long breaths on the backbeat until the asking stops. Paycheck to paycheck, stacking the rack. But you spend it so fast I can’t even get it back. (What?) The ring of the phone is the alarm for the ask. Wearing out my patience is your favorite task. Daddy, I need money, give it to you honey. (You know I got you) Daddy, I need money now. (Right now, son?) All day long, I hear that song. (The same anthem) Oh, I’m pretty sure for if I go wrong. (Watch the step) I’ve got the money, you’ve got champagne. (Popping corks at The Tunnel) If you don't stop spending, I will have to waste. (Close the account) Daddy, I need money, give it to you honey. Daddy, I need money now. (Word is bond) "Daddy, I need money now" (Yeah, that’s the homage, feel the grit) "I’ve got the money, you’ve got champagne" The bag got heavy, Nautica sets on the floor. 106 & Park dreams, wanting more and more. Income rises, but your demands rise faster. Living as a king, but I’m a spending disaster. (Yo, check the slip) Brunch tabs at the spot, car app fare on the tab. Designer steez, everything you can grab. The sound of your voice is the ringtone of debt. Misery is modern, girl, you haven't seen nothing yet. (Nah) Triumphant on the outside, stressed on the in. Loyal to the circle, but where do I begin? Refusing to be guilted by the Wu-Tang rhythm. Budgeting is respect, don’t get lost in the schism. (Facts) Every couplet is a proof, watch the paper fade. You want the parade, I’m just trying to get paid. (Yo, watch it) Daddy, I need money, give it to you honey. (Again? Deadass?) Daddy, I need money now. (Checking the balance) All day long, I hear that song. (On the daily) I’m pretty sure for if I go wrong. (Don’t trip) I’ve got the money, you like champagne. (Expensive taste, dun) If you don't stop spending, I will have to waste. (Shutting it down) Daddy, I need money, give it to you honey. (Uh-huh) I need a small piece of money now. (Just a little bit?) ConEd notice on the door, cable box humming. I’m the one working, you’re the one coming. For the emergency fund, for the rent, for the goal. Trying to keep a future without losing my soul. (Word) I cover the roof, the truth, the youth in the building. While you chasing the thrill, yeah, the lily you’re gilding. Small change is a test, champagne is the culprit. Lending is the lever, I’m the one in the pulpit. (Preach) Savings for the crew, keeping the home life steady. I spoil you too much, you’re never quite ready. To see the line in the sand, clear as the day. Sustainable love is the only way I can stay. (Facts) Associate the cost with the loss of the peace. I’m signing the boundary, providing the release. "I can use a piece of small change now" (Just a piece, huh?) "Daddy, I need money now" (Yo, close the tab) (Keep it 100) Money. (Money) Money now. (Money now) Closing the bottle, leaving the bub behind. (Yeah) Peace in the bank and peace in the mind. (Facts) The last slip is filed, the phone is on hush. No more financial rush, no more of the crush. (Nah) I need a small piece of money now. (Small piece) I can use a piece of small change now. (Small change) (Yo, we out) (Word is bond) (Money)
