Intro
Everybody got a number on something, nah for real
Verse 1
She twenty-two, Boost Mobile, lease she can't afford Three months late on Sunrise, notice taped up on the door Made the page at 2 AM hands shaking on the porcelain First upload got eleven likes she almost threw the phone again Married dude in Weston dropped a fifty in her DMs Now she posting every night and praying mama never check her mentions
Pre-chorus
The money come but it don't come clean Full cash app and a hollow ring
Chorus
For sale, for sale Ay, ay Everything round here for sale Your body, your peace, your last name For sale, for sale The pain is for sale
Verse 2
Cleared a hundred K off her face and what's beneath it Brickell penthouse, mama think she doing real estate and leasing Two hundred K in followers but none of them would feed her Had that scare in March sitting solo in the clinic bleeding Designer bags from strangers who convinced themselves they need her Twenty-five with thirty saved and the smile keep getting thinner
Pre-chorus
The money come but it don't come clean Full cash app and a hollow ring
Chorus
For sale, for sale Ay, ay Everything round here for sale Your body, your peace, your last name For sale, for sale The pain is for sale
Verse 3
Mama found it through a cousin giggling at Thanksgiving Said your daughter on the internet, the table went to whispers Little brother catching jokes at Blanche Ely he can't answer Daddy left at nine so she ain't have nobody to call first Family group chat dead, nobody sending Christmas pictures Grandma still don't know but the whole hood got a subscription
Verse 4
Forty-seven, two kids sleep, wife right there beside him breathing Screen brightness turned to nothing, thumb just scrolling through the feelings Three hundred on a girl who look like someone he once loved Back in Overtown before the pipe took all the meaning from it Tipping women half his age, can't even name the treason His daughter asked for tuition, he said the account was hurting
Bridge
Everybody selling something nobody getting bought She sell the body, he sell his vows, I sell you all this song Platform take they thirty percent and call it innovation What that make the rest of us? Just content in the rotation
Chorus
For sale, for sale Ay, ay Everything round here for sale Your body, your peace, your last name For sale, for sale The pain is for sale
Verse 5
Drove down 95 past every billboard pushing skin Past Hallandale where somebody daughter clocking in This ain't judgment this is inventory, I ain't preaching Same one scrolling at the red light on my way to church on Sunday Nobody clean, the Wi-Fi made us all accomplice Thirteen-year-old girls got body goals from pages they subscribing 954 been knew the math, don't act surprised Every toll booth in this county charge a fee and everybody pass
