The Ledger Kept (Version 2) lyrics
Verse
Six a.m., the city still asleep
Concrete breathes the cold it kept
My eyes cut through the dark like a knife through silk
The block don't ask for dawn, it just wants will
I keep the numbers on a piece of cardboard taped to my door
Every dollar's got a face that I never know before
Momma called it hustle when she saw the cash coming in
Said
Son you're making something out the nothing
I was just reading what the city wrote in black and white
Every bill I counted had a story underneath it
Someone's rent, someone's hope, someone's breath
The system never credited me for the hours that turned to dust
So I kept my own books, one by one, no trust
Pre-Chorus
Nobody gives a ledger to the broke or nameless
I became the one who wrote it in return
Now they talk about
some kid from nothing
From the catalog
