Intro
Yeah… life stacked out, prices climb but the grind don’t move, We stuck in place, but the cost still grooves. Three lives, three views — same trap, different shoes.
Verse 1
Lunch line long, but the tray stay small, Snacks cost double, but the taste don’t ball. Allowance froze, but the ice cream’s high, Kid dreams shrink while the numbers multiply. Toys on the shelf, mama say, *“Not today,”* Money don’t stretch, but bills still play. Cartoon world steady, but the pockets feel pain, That’s stagflation, lil’ homie — stuck in the same lane.
Chorus
Stacked out, can’t break free, Prices go up but the life stay cheap. Run real hard but the ground don’t move, That stagflation beat got us locked in the groove.
Verse 2
High school dreams, but the gas too steep, Bus ride long, can’t afford no Jeep. Job at the mall, but the hours don’t grow, Paycheck flat while the sneakers still blow. Prom night stress, tux cost insane, But your wage stay stuck, playin’ freeze frame. Future feel jammed like a traffic light red, That’s stagflation, teen — running fast, still dead.
Chorus
Stacked out, can’t break free, Prices go up but the life stay cheap. Run real hard but the ground don’t move, That stagflation beat got us locked in the groove.
Bridge
College loans high, rent climb by the week, Salary frozen like the game on bleak. Workin’ two shifts, but the ladder don’t lift, Bills pile quick while the future stay stiff. No upgrade, just a stuck rotation, Dreams inflated, plans stagnation. That’s the grown world, truth in the flesh, Stagflation trap, life locked in a press.
Chorus
Stacked out, can’t break free, Prices go up but the life stay cheap. Run real hard but the ground don’t move, That stagflation beat got us locked in the groove. Child to teen, teen to grown, Stagflation hit, and it cuts to the bone. Same old trap with a new disguise, Life keep rising but the hope stay tied.
Outro
Yeah… stagflation through the ages, Different faces, same cages. Child, teen, grown — all learn the song, Stacked out living, been stagged too long.
Inside the recording
Yeah… life stacked out, prices climb but the grind don’t move, We stuck in place, but the cost still grooves.
**Stacked out, can’t break free, Prices go up but the life stay cheap.
Yeah… stagflation through the ages, Different faces, same cages.
