Million Ain't Rich (Acoustic Version)

[Intro] Yeah Open the app, green candles, dopamine rush But the rent still doubled and the grocery bag sucks Generation treadmill, runnin’ uphill in Chucks Everybody flexin’ paper while the dollar gets crushed [Verse 1] My dad bought a house with a handshake wage Now I need six streams just to act my age Open my portfolio, “Dang, I’m finally up!” Then inflation taps my shoulder sayin’, “Not enough” Twenty-four million millionaires now One in five households wear the crown somehow But a million ain’t yachts, islands, private jets It’s a paid-off house and a little left 401K lookin’ thick on the screen Till you price the same life back in 2015 Boomers moved the goalposts quietly Now middle class costs what rich used to be [Pre-Chorus] And if you got no assets, man, you’re driftin’ away Every paycheck loses power every single day You can sit and complain or you can learn the game Cause the ladder still exists if you can handle the pain [Chorus] Get up Nobody’s comin’ to save ya Clock keeps tickin’, inflation’ll erase ya Stack skill, stack cash, stack somethin’ real Cause the system don’t care how you feel Get up Move fast, build slow Plant seeds now or get buried below House, stocks, Bitcoin, business, gold You either own the future or the future gets sold [Verse 2] Gen X open apps in the middle of the night Hundred K portfolio feelin’ pretty tight Then a burger combo costs twenty-two bucks And your kid’s first apartment needs a millionaire’s luck Every decade money turns Monopoly fake More zeros on the screen but less food on the plate They print and inflate while the headlines cheer “Congrats! You’re rich!” while the ladder disappears But I’m not here doom-postin’ from a basement chair I’m sayin’ build something while the field ain’t fair Learn sales, learn code, learn risk, learn land Cause nobody hands freedom into your hands [Bridge] Your grandparents saved Your parents borrowed Now we gotta hustle harder for tomorrow No victim soundtrack, no permanent fear Pressure makes diamonds and we’re still here [Final Chorus] Get up Turn sweat into leverage Small moves daily turn average to excellence Everybody wants the view from the throne But nobody wants to build when they’re broke alone Get up The goalposts moved again So adapt, evolve, build, and ascend Million ain’t rich but it’s somewhere to start Now go build a life nobody can tear apart [Outro] Yeah They changed the definition of wealthy So change the definition of you
