Retail Therapy

CHORUS - MAHK MILLIANO
Shopping
Spending
I’m feeling like Central Cee
Hit stores
I’m drilling for jeans
Gucci
Prada
Louis V
Ain’t stopping
Till pockets on E
In the mall
Like I don’t wanna leave

VERSE 1 - ARLO MAVERICK
Yeesh…
Dripping in some of the finest
Wooh
And with their looks I’m reminded
Of back in the days when man had lows
Couldn’t really flex yo, couldn’t really pose
Money for food but none for clothes
Girls wouldn’t look, yo girls had jokes
Now I sport the latest gear (yeah)
When I show up people stare (yeah)
Spending money with no care (yeah)
Going broke ain’t what I fear
Never was their likeness that’s a fact
Call it childish I’m a get them back
Teased publicly in front of class
Traumatized with every single laugh
Clearly a crisis
War on my vices
Pay higher prices
Stunt on my tyrants
Deal with my pain in my solace
Mocked and it brought me to darkness
Kill or be killed they were conscious
Unrelenting, they were the monsters, monsters, monsters, monsters, monsters

PRE-CHORUS - KAZMEGA
Gucci belt
Gucci belt
Matching socks
Matching socks
Yea I drill
Nah fo real
I should stop
I should stop
Pay my bills
Pay my bills
Invest in stocks
Invest in blocks
Just everything
That I see
I wanna cop
I gotta cop
I got a problem

CHORUS - MAHK MILLIANO
Shopping
Spending
I’m feeling like Central Cee
Retail
Therapy
I’m blowing a bag with the G’s

VERSE 2 - ARLO MAVERICK
Got a closet full of product
That I only wore once
If I’m honest there’s no logic
I just bought it just to stunt
Course there’s bills I gotta pay
I should save for rainy days
But I’m driven by their hate
Cause it makes me feel a way
Cause as crazy as it seems
From the time that we are teens
We are selling off our dreams
Just to buy some self esteem
From our sneakers to our jeans
To our watches and our screens
We obsess over these things
Hoping that we will be seen
Probably look back with regret
Cause I never did invest
Hustle so hard for these cheques
Just to put myself in debt
Now only pennies are left, left, left
Is it worth it in the end
All this money that we spend
Just to fit in with our friends
But we fall back on our rent, Gucci Belt

PRE-CHORUS - KAZMEGA
Gucci belt
Gucci belt
Matching socks
Matching socks
Yea I drill
Nah fo real
I should stop
I should stop
Pay my bills
Pay my bills
Invest in stocks
Invest in blocks
Just everything
That I see
I wanna cop
I gotta cop
I got a problem
