Will Killmonger - -12 in the Bank

July 20th, that's the day that I wrote this
Let's hop into the mix and see what happens
July 20th is the day I say this
The electric is paid off and now rent is next
Tryna sell my PC, virus free for a G
Use the Mcafee to fight the virus like Drix and Ozzy
At least then, your boy will be caught up
$1200 I owe because your boy messed up
Took on too many subscriptions and expenses, too comfortable
Like I was sleeping at the wheel Wake up to a collision, doubled
Shape up myself, I'm almost there
Like I'm tryna catch a dollar, freely suspended in air
Look at my phone screen in bed as I stare
My account goes negative, I can't say it's not fair
Shape up again, like your boy working out
Going against the final level boss in the final bout
Working two jobs, I'm told I'll get more hours soon
Living check to check, back to back, I need some food
Survive off a single meal, a box of rice ofroni
A bottle of water at the liquor store, you see
An occasional burger, chicken sandwich at the 24
I want more, but it's all I can't afford
Mom pops are sending care packages, but it's alright
I've gotten used to low meals and being up until the light
The energy is low in the tank, but I'm alright
And there's negative 12 in the bank
Yeah
Negative 12 in the bank
Yeah
Negative 12 in the bank
Yeah
Negative 12 in the bank
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Not struggling now, just move when need be
Glasses broken, lens missing, everything looking blurry
Like I'm under the sea, making a song like that lobster dude
To keep me occupied while Ariel with the prince of her dreams
Being told I'm messing up the drawer at work
I'm not that blind and I'm definitely not popping any perks
So if they messing with me, I'll take it up in the court
Tell them to check the cameras, I'm not to be played like a sport
Tell me to fix my glasses, but it's not happening
All the money is going where it needs to be, rent again
The few dollars I keep to myself and me
It's for a drink, some groceries, maybe soap for laundry
Not making money off of music right now
Streaming only pays when your fans reach a few hundred thousand
Making music cause I love it and cause it's fun
Keeping me centered and not on the streets under the sun
Last thing I need to do is to turn to crimes
Start snuffing out some dudes, take their wallets only to get a dime
Leave their corpse on the ground and they in the hospital
On the stretch with their family crying, their heart goes stop and go
The doctor type out the report, heart beat flatline, the screen shows
Blood on mine and the doctor's hands, wrong patient, it's a type-O
Gotta B positive, my life has not yet sank
I could be worse off, there's negative twelve in the bank
Negative twelve in the bank
Negative twelve in the bank
Negative twelve in the bank
Negative, negative
Negative twelve in the bank
Negative twelve in the bank
Negative twelve in the bank
Negative, negative
New necklace was a buck fifty, don't let it fool you
I still wanna spoil myself, so I got it off Temu
Not to flex, but because it looked nice
Even living check to check, I wanna get some new ice
Once everything is settled and out of the way
I'mma be ready to relax and save up for a vacay
Hopefully overdrafts don't mess me up, I wanna buy a drink
Chilling between a couple dollars and negative twelve in the bank
Negative twelve in the bank
Negative twelve in the bank
Negative twelve in the bank
Negative, negative
Negative twelve in the bank
Negative twelve in the bank
Negative twelve in the bank
Negative, negative
Negative twelve in the bank
Negative twelve in the bank
Negative twelve in the bank
Negative, negative
Negative twelve in the bank
Negative twelve in the bank
Negative twelve in the bank
Negative, negative
