[Sampled Intro — 0:00–0:12] Half tank… Title signed… [Chorus — 0:12–0:25 | Melodic, firm delivery] Traded my car for drugs, walked home in tha rain Now I pull up foreign, still feel tha same Dealer kept tha keys, I kept all of tha shame Tried to numb tha hurt, almost lost my name New wheels, old scars, I just switched tha plate Chain on my chest, but tha weight don’t change Made it all back, couldn’t buy back those days Traded my car for drugs, now I flex through pain [Verse 1 — 0:25–0:43 | Low register, one line per bar] Signed tha title under parking-lot lights Half tank, work badge in tha glovebox inside He peeled off slow, I watched both taillights Called him back for my badge later that night Twenty missed calls, I ignored every name Every block home made tha comedown shake Bus-stop glass showed a face that I hate Swore I’d quit once, then I doubled tha mistake Now tha driveway full, got a coupe and a truck Whole team say I’m up, I don’t feel that luck I can buy new keys, can’t replace what I was Still trade it all when tha sickness wakes up [Instrumental Break — 0:43–0:55] [Chorus — 0:55–1:07] Traded my car for drugs, walked home in tha rain Now I pull up foreign, still feel tha same Dealer kept tha keys, I kept all of tha shame Tried to numb tha hurt, almost lost my name New wheels, old scars, I just switched tha plate Chain on my chest, but tha weight don’t change Made it all back, couldn’t buy back those days Traded my car for drugs, now I flex through pain [Verse 2 — 1:07–1:26 | Controlled, slightly more urgent] Registration clean, but my hands still shake Every red light makes tha old deal replay Keep Narcan in tha drawer with tha bands I save A flex ain’t worth shit if I die today Bought moms a car, put her name on tha tag She don’t know mine disappeared for a bag Told her, “Transmission,” she accepted tha facts Stared at tha dash like it talked right back Tint black, new rims, I look rich from tha curb Still remember exactly how withdrawal hurts Every mile on tha dash makes tha memory worse Got every car back, not tha trust that I burned [Break — 1:26–1:32] Walked home in tha rain… [Final Chorus — 1:32–1:45 | Stronger, not higher] Traded my car for drugs, walked home in tha rain Now I pull up foreign, still feel tha same Dealer kept tha keys, I kept all of tha shame Tried to numb tha hurt, almost lost my name New wheels, old scars, I just switched tha plate Chain on my chest, but tha weight don’t change Made it all back, couldn’t buy back those days Traded my car for drugs, now I flex through pain [Outro — 1:45–End] Half tank when I gave my whole life away Full tank now, still can’t drive from tha pain Got every car back, got tha money and fame But I’d trade all that flex just to feel okay
