Lyrics
Verse 1
Two hundred on the screen that's the whole of it
Skip the lunch line again tell my stomach wait a bit
Counting every coin like a ritual
Noodles in a cup is the menu I'm living off
Skipped the sweets and the soda aisle
Save a dime and a nickel stack em single file
Tomorrow's coming fast and it don't care
I budget every breath like it's precious air
Chorus
Two hundred in the bank that's all I own
Starving just to stretch it to tomorrow
Starving just to stretch it to tomorrow
Call it patience call it being grown
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh hold on
Oh-oh hold on
Verse 2
Waiting on the allowance like a slow sunrise
Check the app again nothing new arrives
Rice and borrowed salt dinner for a king
In my head I'm rich in the little things
My friends out eating and I say I'm fine
Half a truth and half a hungry lie
Quarters in a jar rattling like a bell
Every cent a soldier in a tiny war I fight
Chorus
Two hundred in the bank that's all I own
Starving just to stretch it to tomorrow
Starving just to stretch it to tomorrow
Call it patience call it being grown
Bridge
I don't wanna live like this forever
But I'm proud I never broke the thread
Every scrimp and every skipped endeavor
Something steady keeping me ahead
Chorus
Two hundred in the bank that's all I own
Starving just to stretch it to tomorrow
Starving just to stretch it to tomorrow
Someday I'll be grateful that I held on
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh hold on
Oh-oh hold on
Mm hold on
