[Intro] [Targeting chime every bar, bill counter whirring, adding machine clicks] [Spoken, dry close narrator] Fix acquired Floor one hundred five Target Sister Tally [Verse 1] [Dry close narrator rap, half time 808, cowbell ticking like a counter] Hundred and fifth floor and the counting house hums Bill counters whirring like a thousand small drums Sister Tally at the desk in a halo of green Every dollar of his cut ran through her machine She split him into thirds like a number on a page One for Marrow, one for Vask, one to pay the ward its wage Double entry, every debit got a credit on the side Every body got a line and every line got a price [Hook] [Gang chant, bitcrushed, full cowbell and 808 groove] Debit, credit Red in the ledger Debit, credit Now or never Debit, credit Balance forever [Verse 2] [Dry close narrator rap, vinyl scratch every fourth bar] Krait walks the vault like he already got paid Two guards reach for iron and two guards meet the blade She don't scream, she just reaches for a pen Starts writing out his name like she can sell him again He pins her to the desk with the pen through the bone Cracks her chest like a safe and takes back what he owned Heart on the ledger, still beating in the margin (Entry) I log the final price and there ain't no bargain [Hook] [Gang chant, bitcrushed, full cowbell and 808 groove] Debit, credit Red in the ledger Debit, credit Now or never Debit, credit Balance forever [Bridge] [Adding machine clicks, tape stop] [Spoken, dry close narrator, flat, slower than before] Line item, optical unit Serial number, mine Query unresolved [Verse 3] [Faster narrator rap, sixteenth note flow, stop and start with tape halts] Lighter to the paper and the numbers curl black Every page he burns is a page they don't get back But one line keeps glowing in the corner of my frame A number I was built with and a buyer with no name I file it under static, I file it under rain I hand him the next door and I don't explain Two names burning and the smoke fills the floor Doc Halver in the ward and I'm counting something more [Final Hook] [Harder drop, full saturation, all elements in] Debit, credit Red in the ledger Debit, credit Now or never Debit, credit Two down, balance the ledger [Outro] [Dry close narrator, cold pad alone, paper burning] Next fix pending Pending Recording continues [Targeting chime, one bar late, crackle fades]
