[Verse 1: Lomoled]

Yeah, money talkin' but all I hear is silence

Economic recession, got me feeling violent

Bills pilin' up, can't escape the grip of debt

Tryna make it out, but it's like I'm stuck in this net

Jobs disappearing, people losing hope

Barely getting by, scraping by to cope

Government shut down, no help from above

In this cold world, it's hard to find some love

But I stay grindin', hustlin' through the storm

Gotta keep pushin', gotta stay warm

In the face of adversity, I plant my seeds

Gonna rise above, fulfill my needs

It's a rough road, but I ain't backing down

No matter the struggle, I wear my crown

Economic recession, it's just a phase

I'll navigate through the maze, find my ways

So I keep movin', never gonna freeze

In the heart of the darkness, I'll find my ease


[Pre-Chorus: Vadxley]

Government bailout, but it ain't enough

Inflation rising, prices getting tough

Foreclosure signs outside every door

People struggling, can't take no more

Trying to hustle, trying to grind


[Chorus: Lomoled]

Credit cards maxed out, bills pilin' high

Living paycheck to paycheck, can't even afford to sigh

Layoffs droppin' left and right, no way to escape

In this world of financial turmoil, it's hard to find a break

Banks getting bailed out while the people sufferin'

Corporations getting richer while the poor strugglin'


[Verse 2: Vadxley]

Gotta tighten up, countin' every dime

Prayin' for a breakthrough in this hard time

But we persevere, we hustle through the pain

We'll rise above this struggle, through the pouring rain

So keep your head up high, don't let the circumstances win

Together we'll get through it, find a way to begin

Building back our wealth, rebuildin' our dreams

Even in the darkest times, our light still gleams

Cash crunch blues got us feelin' down

But we won't stay down, we'll rise from the ground


[Pre-Chorus: Vadxley]

Government bailout, but it ain't enough

Inflation rising, prices getting tough

Foreclosure signs outside every door

People struggling, can't take no more

Trying to hustle, trying to grind


[Chorus: Lomoled]

Credit cards maxed out, bills pilin' high

Living paycheck to paycheck, can't even afford to sigh

Layoffs droppin' left and right, no way to escape

In this world of financial turmoil, it's hard to find a break

Banks getting bailed out while the people sufferin'

Corporations getting richer while the poor strugglin'


[Verse 3: Lomoled]

They say the money talks, but lately it been whispering

Economic recession got us all just shivering

Dollar signs dwindling, pockets getting thin

Trying to stay afloat but it's hard to even swim

Working two jobs just to make ends meet

But the bills keep piling up, can't catch a beat

Dreams deferred, ambitions on hold

Financial stress got me feeling so cold

Penny pinching, budget crunching

Everyday husting, trying to keep from crumbling

But in the chaos, I still see the light

Gotta believe in myself, gotta keep the fight

Economic recession may have me down

But I refuse to let it wear my crown

Rise above the struggles, conquer the strife

I'll make it through, that's the mantra of life


[Pre-Chorus: Vadxley]

Government bailout, but it ain't enough

Inflation rising, prices getting tough

Foreclosure signs outside every door

People struggling, can't take no more

Trying to hustle, trying to grind


[Chorus: Lomoled]

Credit cards maxed out, bills pilin' high

Living paycheck to paycheck, can't even afford to sigh

Layoffs droppin' left and right, no way to escape

In this world of financial turmoil, it's hard to find a break

Banks getting bailed out while the people sufferin'

Corporations getting richer while the poor strugglin'

[Verse 4: Vadxley & Lomoled]

Money talks, but lately it's been whispering

Economic recession got me feeling the blistering

Inflation rising, prices skyrocketing

Bank accounts shrinking, investments faltering

Everybody feeling the strain, no escaping

Bills piling up, debts accumulating

Government talks of stimulus checks, but where they at?

Struggling to make ends meet, feeling trapped

Bills piling up, debt creeping in

The grind never stops, it's a constant spin

Money talks, but lately, it's been too thin

Economic downturn, can't even begin

Rising from the ashes, strong as can be

Economic recession, won't bring me to my knees

I'll weather this storm, emerge as a money prodigy

Survival mode activated, gotta innovate

Hustle harder, can't afford to hesitate

Every penny counts, can't underestimate

In this cash crunch, I'm the master of fate

Adversity breeds opportunity, that's the key

Cutbacks and layoffs, downsizing the norm

Job market shrinking, opportunities torn

Wages stagnant, cost of living on the rise

Trying to make a dollar out of a dime, can't disguise

The stress and the pressure, the weight of the world

Economic recession got us all feeling like we're hurled

Into uncertainty, financial instability

Hoping for a change, searching for some tranquility

But we persevere, we hustle and grind

Find a way to survive, leave our troubles behind

In the midst of the chaos, we find our strength

Resilient and determined, we go to any length

To weather the storm, to push through the pain

Economic recession may hit hard, but we remain

Focused on our goals, on our dreams and our vision

In the face of adversity, we rise with precision


[Chorus: Lomoled]

Credit cards maxed out, bills pilin' high

Living paycheck to paycheck, can't even afford to sigh

Layoffs droppin' left and right, no way to escape

In this world of financial turmoil, it's hard to find a break

Banks getting bailed out while the people sufferin'

Corporations getting richer while the poor strugglin'
