[Intro] Payday… For like eight minutes. [Chorus] Payday ain’t payday, it show then it go Hit my account, then it dip like a ghost I blink twice, it’s already low Bills said “thank you” — I said “no the fuck?” Payday ain’t payday, it show then it go I had plans… now I don’t I was up… now I’m broke Same day, same joke [Verse 1] Soon as it land, my app start yelling Rent take a bite like it got bad intentions Lights, water, net, insurance—cool Whole check looking like it never even knew me I swear I’m paid on paper only ‘Cause my money got commitment issues—won’t stay, won’t hold me Grocery run turn into a hundred real quick How a bag of “basics” cost this much? This is sick Gas went up again, I’m like “of course” I’m not even shocked, I’m just annoyed in the throat Then some friend like “let’s go out tonight” I’m like “yeah… in theory.” In life? Nah, I’m tight I’m not cheap, I’m just watching it ‘Cause every “little” purchase be the one that starts the slip [Chorus] Payday ain’t payday, it show then it go Hit my account, then it dip like a ghost I blink twice, it’s already low Bills said “thank you” — I said “no the fuck?” Payday ain’t payday, it show then it go I had plans… now I don’t I was up… now I’m broke Same day, same joke [Verse 2] I keep telling myself “this month I’m saving” Then life hit me with a list, I’m paying Random fee, random charge, random “urgent” Somebody always need something, it’s perfect (Quicker run) New tire, old problem, new leak, same stress Cart full, wallet thin, yes, yes, yes Tap, tap, tap—now I’m mad at myself I’m arguing with air in the checkout line like “help” (Back) And it’s not even fun money, it’s grown money The kind you never see, it just disappears on you So I laugh, shake my head, keep moving ‘Cause if I don’t, I’ll crash out over numbers and a Tuesday But next time I get paid, I’m acting different I’m hiding a little first, then I’ll handle business [Bridge] If you ever feel behind, you’re not alone. You’re just alive. [Final Chorus] Payday ain’t payday, it show then it go Hit my account, then it dip like a ghost I blink twice, it’s already low Bills said “thank you” — I said “no the fuck?” Payday ain’t payday, it show then it go I had plans… now I don’t I was up… now I’m broke Same day, same joke [Outro] Payday… Yeah.
