Intro
Light hit the scale, numbers talk back Midnight counting blessings in a pitch-black trap
Verse 1
Used to circle blocks till the gas light blinked Now the car knows routes that the maps can’t print Mama fridge humming louder than my dreams did Now the fridge got magnets from places we been in Labels saw me late, now they early with offers Same folks clowning, now they lurking my comments I don’t pop champagne, I pop locks on the past Still feel broke when I sleep, too rich to relax
Chorus
I keep receipts, I don’t talk back Every scar got a price tag They switch sides when the score stacks I keep receipts, yeah I track that No applause when I bounced back Just a pen and a contract They forgot when I was that I keep receipts, I don’t backtrack
Verse 2
Watch for the smile with the envy inside That’s a friend that’ll fold when the pressure arrive I been betting on me, that’s a dangerous spread Had to dead every doubt just to lay in this bed This ain’t luck, this a ledger with blood on the lines Every win got a loss that was paid over time They see glow, never saw me in flickering lights Eating noodles, writing verses, tryna flicker my life
Bridge 1
Still hear the no’s when the room get quiet Every yes got a shadow of self-denial If I vanish tomorrow, don’t rewrite it I was here every night when the stars stayed silent
Verse 3
Now my name in rooms I ain’t entered yet Doors open slow when they sense respect I don’t flex chains, I flex time redeemed Bought my freedom back in unfinished dreams If I fall, I fall forward, that’s momentum Every loss got a lesson attached in theendum Tell my past I’m good, I don’t resent ya But I bill every doubt, no exemptions
Chorus
I keep receipts, I don’t talk back Every scar got a price tag They switch sides when the score stacks I keep receipts, yeah I track that No applause when I bounced back Just a pen and a contract They forgot when I was that I keep receipts, I don’t backtrack
Bridge 2
If the crown feel heavy, that’s a fit check If they doubt me still, that’s a debt left I ain’t bitter, I’m exact with the math Smile clean, but I remember the tabs
Chorus
I keep receipts, I don’t talk back Every scar got a price tag They switch sides when the score stacks I keep receipts, yeah I track that No applause when I bounced back Just a pen and a contract They forgot when I was that I keep receipts, I don’t backtrack
Chorus
I keep receipts, I don’t talk back Every scar got a price tag They switch sides when the score stacks I keep receipts, yeah I track that No applause when I bounced back Just a pen and a contract They forgot when I was that I keep receipts, I don’t backtrack
Outro
I don’t need revenge, I need interest Check the books , this was business
Inside the recording
Light hit the scale, numbers talk back Midnight counting blessings in a pitch-black trap
I keep receipts, I don’t talk back Every scar got a price tag
I don’t need revenge, I need interest Check the books , this was business
