Trying to make one dollar out of 15 Cents
Trying to make One Dollar out of 15 Cents
I stretch pennies like they're doing y.oga,
Flip nickels like a circus act, coupons like it's hand-to-hand scrimmage.
And pray over price tags like scriptures.
My wallet stays demure, my hustle stays loud-
Broke- girl alchemy in flow turning crumbs in
Whole-meal miracles til my cents holler for mercy.
