Coupons

[Intro]

A couple more bills are here

You tell me, "Don't worry," you

Coupons on the table, we're

Tryin' to find a way to buy food, and

I'm feelin' so lost out here

I run to you

And I'm feelin' so lost out here

I run to you, run to you

Running is something you

[Verse 1]

And I had to know well

Honestly, no scars that I won't tell

Honestly, scared to death that I won't sell

I ain't worried 'bout the money, go to benefit the hungry

It's a feelin' that I know we both felt

And I ain't no help

'Cause I'm tryin' to live a dream, and it means that it seems I got no wealth

And we know hell, seen it twice

Looks somethin' like a bottle with a glass of ice

It looks somethin' like a house over half our life

It looks somethin' like a landlord turnin' off the lights

We can't pay the price

How am I gon' write at night with no lights? And I want it more

I see you charge another bill that you can't afford

And so I pray for the day I can say that I gave you

More, gave you more, open that door, you know you deserve it

And one day in the future, we'll realize where all of the pain, it was worth it

And I'll get you that house out in Florida with Gizmo, the view will be perfect

You should know that I feel like you raised me alone because Daddy was worthless

Never was workin', drunk on the couch

I'm almost ashamed that I came from you now

You finally got sober, you figured it out

But you sit and you pout, no one's ever around

Wearin' a cap and a gown for sobriety found

And forget about years of you lettin' me down

I'm surrounded by people who care 'bout me now

Now, I'm cuttin' you out, and I like how it sounds

[Chorus]

Now, I know that we've been through it all, no, we don't fall, nobody can break us

'Cause you believe in me, believe in me that I'm gon' make it

And I promise on my bones, I've built this home, I've built it up for you

Just know I built it up for you

Yeah, I know that we've been through it all, no, we don't fall, nobody can break us

'Cause you'll believe in me, believe in me that I'm gon' make it

And I promise on my bones, I've built this home, I've built it up for you

Just know I built it up for you

[Verse 2]

And on top of it all, you call my phone

"Mark, the car broke while drivin' home"

Just found out we gotta leave our home

You see, I'm tryna pay the bills and the student loan

You see, I coulda signed a deal, but I wanna keep it real

I can barely buy a meal, got me feelin' broke

Until I'm sittin' on a bill, I ain't worried 'bout a mill

Know I'm hopin' that I'm bringin' to the people hope

They used to laugh and joke, they used to push me down

I had to find my soul inside a lost-and-found

Woulda been better off without a dad around

I know it's sad to say, but can you blame me now?

Can you blame me now? Yellin' and screamin'

Alcohol over us, what were you thinkin'?

I'm tired of watchin' you drinkin'

And I tried to be nice, okay, oh now, I'm hopin' to sink in

And when there was nothing to eat, I had friends who were feedin' me dinner

Drive to your house, stomach would growl

Open the door and you notice I been gettin' thinner

Been working all winter, been losin' my mind

I've been stuck in my room analyzin' my lines

And the weight on me droppin' my music on time

When you see me on Twitter, you think that I'm fine, but

Me, I'm tryna get to know me

Momma workin' at a two jobs OT

We got two things in common, we fight and believe

Now, I'm trimmin' the leaves on the family tree

I don't do this for me, me, I do this for we

We got passion and heart, we're a part of a team

All I need is a mic and a Mac and a beat

We're a fraction of what we could actually be

[Chorus]

Now, I know that we've been through it all, no, we don't fall, nobody can break us

'Cause you believe in me, believe in me that I'm gon' make it

And I promise on my bones, I've built this home, I've built it up for you

Just know I built it up for you

Yeah, I know that we've been through it all, no, we don't fall, nobody can break us

'Cause you'll believe in me, believe in me that I'm gon' make it

And I promise on my bones, I've built this home, I've built it up for you

Just know I built it up for you

[Outro]

Just know I built it up for you, just know I built it up for you

Just know I built it up for you, no one can break us down, no, no

Just know I built it up for you, just know I built it up for you

Just know I built it up for you, no one can break us down, no, no

Just know I built it up for you
