Lyrics

You make 75k a year I make 28

You have a 401k health insurance paid vacation

I have hourly wage work no benefits no retirement plan

You bought a condo at 24 I'm still renting a room with two roommates

You casually mention stock portfolios investment accounts financial advisors

I mention overdraft fees payday loans choosing between gas and groceries

We're the same age but we're living in different economic realities

Different tax brackets different worlds different possibilities

And it's not about jealousy anymore

It's just math it's just facts

You have wealth I have debt

You have growth I have lack

Different tax brackets that's what we are now

You're building equity I'm barely getting by somehow

You talk about saving I talk about surviving

Different tax brackets different ways of thriving

Or not thriving just existing paycheck to thin paycheck

Different tax brackets mean we're living different lives

At 24 you're investing I'm working two jobs to get by

Different tax brackets the class divide

Made explicit in our paystubs our zip codes our lives

You went to grad school I went to work full-time at 19

You have student loans but a degree that's paying them off quickly

I have no debt because I never could afford to take any on

You network at professional events I clock in and clock out

You wear business casual I wear name tag and uniform

You talk about career trajectory I talk about shift coverage

We're both working but we're not both building futures

You're building wealth I'm building nothing but rent receipts

And it's not about jealousy it's about reality

It's just numbers it's just truth

You have security I have instability

You have options I have roof over my head barely

Different tax brackets that's what we are now

You're building assets I'm barely breaking even somehow

You talk about retirement I talk about this month's rent

Different tax brackets different ways our time is spent

On building versus surviving on growing versus treading water

Different tax brackets mean we're living different struggles

At 24 you're planning five years out I'm planning three days ahead

Different tax brackets the wealth divide

Made explicit in our bank accounts our credit scores our lives

And you don't mean to make me feel poor

When you talk about your weekend in Nashville

But I can't afford to leave this town

You don't mean to make me feel less than

When you mention your promotion your raise

But I'm still making minimum wage plus tips

And it's not your fault you were born into opportunity

And it's not my fault I wasn't

But it's the reality we live in

That your safety net is my ceiling

That your starting point is my highest aspiration

That we're living in different Americas

Separated by salary by access by chance

Different tax brackets that's what we are

You're comfortable I'm struggling just to keep my car

You talk about investing I talk about surviving day to day

Different tax brackets mean we don't live the same way

At all not even close not anymore

Different tax brackets mean we're on different floors

Of the same economic building

But your floor has views and mine has bills

Different tax brackets the honest truth

Made explicit in every conversation we have about money

Or avoid having about money

Different tax brackets

Different Americas

Different lives

Same age different brackets

Same town different access

Same years lived different wealth

That's just the truth
