Coupons

(album: Dreaming With Our Eyes Open - 2015)

Couple more bills I hear
You tell me don't worry, you
Coupons on the table, we're
Try to find a way to buy food
And I'm feeling so lost out here
I run to you, and I'm feeling so lost out here
I run to you, run to you, running is something you...

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 about the money
Go to benefit the hungry, it's a feeling that I know we both felt
And I ain't no help, cause I'm trying to live a dream
And it means that it seems I got no wealth
And we know hell, seen it twice
Looks something like a bottle with a glass of ice
It looks something like a house over half our life
It looks something like a letter turning off the lights
We can't pay the price
How am I gonna write at night with no lights and I want it more
I see you charge another bill that you can't afford
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 it pain was worth it
And I 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 working, 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 ones ever around when I cap in the gown for sobriety found
And forget about years of you letting me down
I'm surrounded by people who care about me now
Now I'm cutting you out and I like how it sounds

Yeah, 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 all for you, just know I built it all for you
Yeah, 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 all for you, just know I built it all for you

And on top of it all...
You call my phone: "Mark, the car broke while driving home"
Just found out we gotta leave our home
You see I'm tryna pay the bills in this student loan
You see I could have signed a deal, but I wanna keep it real
I can barely buy a meal, got me feeling broke
Until I'm sitting on a bill I ain't worried bout a mill
Know I'm hoping that I'm bringing to the people hope
They used to laugh and joke, they used to push me down
I had to find my soul, inside I'm lost and found
Would have been better of without a dad around
I know it's sad to say, but can you blame me now?
Can you blame me now? Yelling and screaming
Alcohol over us what were you thinking
I'm tired of watching you drinking
I tried to be nice, okay now I'm hoping to sink in
And when there was nothing to eat I had friends who were feeding me dinner
Drived to your house, stomach would growl
Open the door and you notice I been getting thinner than
Been working all winter, been losing my mind
I've been stuck in my room
Analyzing my lines
In the way to me dropping my music on time when you see me on Twitter you think that I'm fine, but
But me, I'm tryna get to know me
Momma working at a two jobs OT
We got two things in common, we fight and believe
Now I'm trimming 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 apart 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

Yeah, 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 all for you, just know I built it all for you
Yeah, 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 all for you, just know I built it all for you

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