Intro
Sis, you up? I know it’s 1:17, but listen. This hall looked like church with a balance sheet.
Verse 1
I pulled up off 441, Broward rain on my sleeves, rented hall, LED cross, robes pressed clean. Where the plate used to pass, now a QR code gleamed, “tithe tier three unlocks your emergency seed.” Organ hit, choir swayed, phones lit the room, a scanner beep chirped like it knew my rent due. He said deliverance got proof, not hope in the air, so I sent forty dollars through the wallet app there.
Pre-chorus
And I know what you said about men with systems, but the screen showed green and my hands quit shaking. Maybe this is our way out. Maybe debt can get baptized.
Chorus
Amen with a receipt, scan it, seed it, prove it. Choir sang over 808s, I felt my broke heart move it. Amen with a receipt, blessing came with a fee. If heaven got a checkout page, save one seat for me.
Verse 2
You sent eight voice notes saying, “Please don’t be dumb,” but my coin jumped twice, so I thought you was numb. Signal subscription hit, ninety-nine every week, and the group chat posted screenshots nobody could read. I said, “Sis, you don’t get it, this ain’t luck, this is math,” while my cracked phone froze on a green candle graph. Early gains feel holy when the light bill late, so I muted your warning and increased my stake.
Pre-chorus
You said, “Ask who gets paid when you bring people in.” I said, “Why you always make a door look like a trap?” Maybe this is our way out. Maybe fear is just a tax.
Chorus
Amen with a receipt, scan it, seed it, prove it. Choir sang over 808s, I felt my broke heart move it. Amen with a receipt, blessing came with a fee. If heaven got a checkout page, save one seat for me.
Verse 3
Then the signals tanked Tuesday, red all on the screen, wallet app dry, group chat quiet by three. He blamed haters, banks, the government freeze, said, “Real believers deposit more on their knees.” New emergency tier, double tithe by noon, organ screaming while the 808 bent out of tune. I typed your name, then deleted the call, because pride got expensive when the candles all fall.
Bridge
Sis… It ain’t a miracle if the miracle needs my routing number. I heard myself say that and still stood in line. That’s the part I don’t know how to pray about.
Verse 4
Miss Carol brought savings in a blue bank sleeve, Mr. James sold gold coins he kept since ’93. They emptied whole years into one white bucket, while the guru posted “blessings” like pain was a budget. Black Wraith outside with the windows all tinted, but the rental-app tag was still stuck where he missed it. He hugged the elders, told them, “Harvest takes nerve,” then asked for gas money through a private reserve.
Verse 5
Now I keep showing up in the second-row seat, same cracked phone, same shame, same monthly fee. Can’t tell the aunties I got got in a robe, so I smile real soft and say, “Send me your code.” You asked if I’m leaving; I said, “Soon, I swear,” while I forwarded the link to a dude downstairs. Sis, don’t judge me, I’m just close to relief— Amen. I need three more souls for the receipt.
Pre-chorus
And I know what you said, I can hear every word, but the choir gets loud when the truth walks in. Maybe this is our way out. Maybe I’m the exit fee.
Chorus
Amen with a receipt, scan it, seed it, prove it. Choir sang over 808s, I watched my own mouth move it. Amen with a receipt, blessing came with a fee. If heaven got a checkout page, don’t save that seat for me.

Sis, you up? I got something to show you.
