Intro
Heat on the glass, rain tapping four forty-one Auntie says, save the receipt before you love some
Verse 1
Carol City noon, chrome by the corner store Lauderhill clouds over bus-stop doors Opa-Locka rain pearls a black two-door Liberty City kids count rims like chores Overtown window, square painting lit Little Haiti fan over unpaid rent Sunrise traffic, I-95 won't forgive Silver pen signs the life we say we live
Pre-chorus
Price tag breathes under the dash Phone lights: court 8:30, bring cash
Chorus
Pretty things come with ugly math Tell me what it cost when the cameras pass New glass house, old rent due Everybody shine till the bill talks back "Pretty things come with ugly math"
Verse 2
I-75 stuck, job hunt on a cracked screen Rare white bottle sweating by canned beans Steel moon-watch blinks while his sister asks for gas Rent app red, three missed calls from Dad Locked leather bag got a whole lease inside Snowflake stones, no sleep in her eyes Long black sedan by the Publix line Plantains in paper; she asks, "you ate?" real quiet
Pre-chorus
That leather don't carry blame But the zipper keeps saying her name
Chorus
Pretty things come with ugly math Tell me what it cost when the cameras pass New glass house, old rent due Diamonds cold, eviction warm on the mat "Pretty things come with ugly math"
Verse 3
Pembroke Pines mirror puts my face in debt Hollywood valet light halos every defect Miramar cousin wipes sauce from work palms I wanted the coupe, not the quiet ride home I wanted the watch, not time charging fees 305/954 receipts on my knees I see my own hunger asking for more
Verse 4
Turnpike snare hit, I'm done bowing to glass 826 curve, I cut envy in half Palmetto heat press down, I don't brag 79th red light, I breathe through the flash 62nd ave thunder, bills lined like a case 27th ave barber says, keep your name clean Florida City dawn, court shoes by the bed I fight the gold mouth talking rent in my head No bag, no watch, no painting gets my prayer I sign my terms with that jeweled pen there
Pre-chorus
Rain tap once, pen click twice Bass goes quiet, truth bites
Chorus
Pretty things come with ugly math Tell me what it cost when the cameras pass New glass house, old rent due If lights go black, I still know what I have 305/954, keep the real receipt flat Say it with me before the shine talks back "Pretty things come with ugly math"
Verse 5
Tell lil cousin at night class Rent first, food second, velvet talks fast Keep bus fare behind your cracked phone case Call grandma back before pride takes space If you buy loud, make your quiet life safe If you sign paper, read small print twice Luxury ain't sin, but it ain't your name Hold people close when cameras change
Outro
Rain quits on four forty-one, receipt dry Pretty things come with ugly math Pen click. Cut.
