[INTRO — instrumental, watery synth pads, rumbling 808] [VERSE 1 — melodic half-sung sliding into clipped flow] Friday, five-oh-one, direct deposit lands (uh) I'm a king walking to the car with money in my hands Groceries with the good cheese, name brands in the cart Takeout for the family, top shelf at the mart Fill the tank all the way — ALL the way, that's class Saturday the kids get movie tickets, extra grass For the lawn — sure — throw it in — I'm feeling generous Sunday morning brunch out, tips like I'm famous, yes Then Sunday four P.M., I open up the app And the number's doing pushups getting ready for the gap Between here and next Friday — thirteen days of stretch Same dance every month and my feet know every step [VERSE 2 — faster, clipped] Mama used to call it paycheck poor and proud Said the trick is not the money, it's the laughing in the loud Lean days — soup stretching like a yoga class Beans with a resume, rice that makes the moment last I do her proud: Monday's pasta feeds us twice Tuesday's soup from Sunday's bones — everything's nice If you season it with the right amount of we got us Friday's coming, king again — in the meantime, hush And count it — count the little king days, not the lean 'Cause a weekend full of laughing beats a wallet full of green That just sits there — money's only smiling when it moves From my hands into my kids' hands — that's the groove [HOOK — hypnotic chant, half-sung] Sunday rich, Sunday rich (rich) King for a weekend, then the switch Sunday rich, Sunday rich (rich) Can't buy joy but I bought the kids the flick Sunday rich [VERSE 3 — half-sung, satisfied] Another Friday lands and the king walks tall Same cheese, same movies, same kids, same haul Some folks climb — I orbit — it's a faithful little sun Sunday rich, Monday lean, but the month gets done [BRIDGE — pads swell, voice raw] Rich ain't a number, it's a Friday afternoon With a trunk full of groceries and a paycheck perfume Lean ain't a failure, it's the bridge between the kings Sunday rich, baby — richest when it sings (Sunday rich) [HOOK — hypnotic chant, half-sung] Sunday rich, Sunday rich (rich) King for a weekend, then the switch Sunday rich, Sunday rich (rich) Can't buy joy but I bought the kids the flick Sunday rich [OUTRO — pads fade, voice distant] (Sunday rich... Sunday rich...) Friday's coming It always does
