[Verse 1] DJ spacecloud DJ spacecloud Why you want the penny gone? Why erase what made us strong? Copper hands and history Cutting ties so casually Lincoln on my oldest coin Names the pain, names the noise Freed our people, paid the cost Now you tell me, all that’s lost? [Pre-Chorus] I read the signs Between the lines Who gets rich When symbols die? [Chorus] Don’t take the penny Don’t take the penny It still means plenty To the ones you left empty Don’t take the penny Don’t take the penny We remember history We remember history [Verse 2] Quarter, nickel, dime in hand Spent for bus rides, lunch, and sand Paper says one thing today But the streets remember names Plenty told to trust the flag Plenty told to kiss the bag White collar, clean and neat Dirty deals beneath the sheet [Pre-Chorus] I hear the talk I see the spin Same old game A new suit wins [Chorus] Don’t take the penny Don’t take the penny It still means plenty To the ones you left empty Don’t take the penny Don’t take the penny We remember history We remember history [Bridge] If the money tells a story Then the story should be true Don’t erase the old scars Just to sell a brighter view I won’t bow I won’t fake I won’t call it What it ain’t [Chorus] Don’t take the penny Don’t take the penny It still means plenty To the ones you left empty Don’t take the penny Don’t take the penny We remember history We remember history DJ spacecloud DJ spacecloud
