The Same Receipt

By ErnestoKade

Not a flag A doorstep that’s the real Two clocks Still broke as hell Eight and a half million stackin’ shifts like bricks Five percent on two clocks no tricks One gig for lights one for the lease They talk golden age two badges on the street Store gate halfway down on the block Rent eat the check ‘fore the first come round Kids eatin’ early fridge ran short He sign the papers you switch the stop that’s the sport Revolution don’t start in gold-leaf books It start when stomachs talk louder than crooks Tips untaxed OT wrapped like a gift Third hustle so the fridge can exist Billions for a war dead on the sheet Can’t close the month without a second beat They scream freedom then land for crude Flag on the podium drill behind the mood Invade stamp it “safety” in the booth Oil change hands the block on one knee that’s truth Pipeline worth more than a street no heat Invasion worth more than schools missin’ feet A people sleep A people wake In between: fear you can’t shake Amazon up high your W-2 on the floor Two Americas One flag Two kinds of war Chaos when the bottom leave the line Order when the top count the shine Revolution ain’t fire to watch it burn A bill too long a name they never learn Revolutions stolen ‘fore they’re born New bosses grab the throne same horn Fresh flags same old cage New anthems same ration on the page It start with a no that stand up straight A no that walk through hunger and the gate End in a palace that was a stickup End in bread that was the people up Eat Sign Count Chaos: us done starvin’ for your crown Order: the register in your hand Keep the palace We keep the stand Your throne brand new Our bread stale You move the vaults We change the year no fail Same country Not the same receipt Same lie Work harder Still can’t eat Hood held with tape The same receipt Palace built on sweat The same receipt Work harder The same receipt Written, composed and produced by ErnestoKade.
