NO RECEIPTS

TITLE: “NO RECEIPTS”

Intro — Rapper 1

Yeah
Look
They want a story?
Cool.
Let's talk about what happened when the lights went out.

Hook — Rapper 1

No receipts, I don't owe 'em no explanation
Cut ties, now I'm done with the investigation
They was counting me out, I was counting the paper
Now they call my phone, I don't answer favors

No receipts, no proof, no statement
I don't argue with a lie, I let time translate it
If I lost you, shit, maybe that was my payment
Now I'm up so high, I can't hear what they saying

Verse 1 — Rapper 1

I remember that apartment, bills stacked by the door
Had a pocket full of nothing and a head full of war
Everybody had advice, nobody had a solution
So I stopped explaining pain and started moving in silence

Had a friend turn stranger over something so small
Funny how a little money show the truth about y'all
I ain't even get revenge, I just changed my location
Same city, different circle, different conversations

Mama said, “Watch who you feed when you're finally eating”
I learned everybody clapping ain't necessarily cheering
Had a woman say she loved me, then she loved what I bought
Had a brother swear he loyal, then he sold what I taught

So I stopped giving access just because we had history
Some doors get locked because the view ain't worth missing me
Now the same people watching wanna know what I'm doing
Shit, if I told you the plan, then it wouldn't be moving

Hook — Rapper 1

No receipts, I don't owe 'em no explanation
Cut ties, now I'm done with the investigation
They was counting me out, I was counting the paper
Now they call my phone, I don't answer favors

No receipts, no proof, no statement
I don't argue with a lie, I let time translate it
If I lost you, shit, maybe that was my payment
Now I'm up so high, I can't hear what they saying

Verse 2 — Rapper 2

Listen—

I made peace with the losses, that's a dangerous place
'Cause a man who don't fear losing got a different type of pace
They confused my lack of talking for a lack of preparation
I was building while they practiced conversations

See, pressure make diamonds, but it also reveal glass
Everybody look solid till you put 'em under stress
I don't measure loyalty by how loud somebody claims it
I measure it when there's nothing in the room they can gain from it

I turned rejection into direction, that's a hell of a detour
Had to lose a couple people just to see what I was built for
Funny how they switched lanes when the road got complicated
Now they watching from the shoulder while I'm accelerating

I don't need to throw a punch if the scoreboard got numbers
Don't need to tell 'em I'm a boss when the payroll says it
They were looking for a weakness, I was looking for a window
Now I'm sitting where the ceiling used to block my vision

You can keep your fake apology, frame it on the wall
Put a ribbon on the bullshit, I don't want it at all
I don't hate you, that's expensive and my time ain't free
You ain't worth another thought, that's the price of being me

And here's the part they never calculate in the math:
When you burn the wrong bridge, you might need it coming back
I don't burn bridges—I build roads where they can't reach
Then I charge admission every time they wanna see

Beat Drop

Yeah.
That's the difference.

Final Hook — Both

No receipts, I don't owe 'em no explanation
Cut ties, now I'm done with the investigation
They was counting me out, I was counting the paper
Now they call my phone, I don't answer favors

No receipts, no proof, no statement
I don't argue with a lie, I let time translate it
If I lost you, shit, maybe that was my payment
Now I'm up so high, I can't hear what they saying

Outro — Rapper 1

No receipts.
No explanations.
No looking back.
If you know, you know.
If you don't—
that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
