[Verse 1] I had a case on hold In a cart by the door I measured out the desk For the rig I wanted more A little light, a little speed A window clean and bright But every tab I open Takes the dream out of sight [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause I counted every part With a hopeful little grin Then the numbers climbed again And again, and again [Chorus] I can't build it now The prices went too high I can't build it now Just watch me try and try GPU, why You cost me all my shine RAM, stay kind Let my little dream survive [Verse 2] I found a cooler that I loved A board I thought was sweet I pictured game menus Spinning smooth at my feet But the shelves all looked at me Like I came to ask for gold And the build I had in my hands Turned to a story half untold [Pre-Chorus] So I keep the box nearby Like a promise I can keep And I save a little more While the wish stays in the deep [Chorus] I can't afford my gaming PC I got shut out by sam altman's shopping spree GPU, why You cost me all my shine RAM, stay kind Let my little dream survive [Bridge] Maybe next month Maybe next wage Maybe when the whole world Turns a kinder page I'll hear that click I'll see that glow And all this waiting Will let go [Final Chorus] I can't afford my gaming PC I got shut out by sammy's shopping spree GPU, why You cost me all my shine RAM, stay kind My little dream survives I can't build it now Not tonight, not yet I can't build it now But I won't forget
