Lyrics

Name tag crooked, but I wore it proud
Foot court smell, uniform loud
Lunch rush hit like a halftime show
Fries and sweat in the backroom glow
Shoes got grease, but the plan stayed clean
Clocked in broke with a retro dream
Ten bucks an hour, but I saw past that
Every shift fed the box logo hat
Break time short, but the list was long
New J's drop and my will stayed strong
Didn't skip shifts, didn't miss calls
Bagging trays just to stunt in malls
Saved each dollar like a countdown tick (uh)
Wasn't much, but it made me slick (uh)
Didn't need fame, just that shoebox smell (uh)
Walked out slow like I just broke spell...
Walked out slow like I just broke spell...
Walked out slow like I just broke spell
Receipt crumpled in my front jean fold
Pair so fresh, felt like dipped in gold
Box too big for the footlocker bag
Carried it home like a champion flag
Tried 'em on twice, mirror caught the stance
Socks rolled high, gave the lace one glance
Didn't even hoop, just walked like flight
That parking lot felt like Friday night
Cousin said they clean, mom just stared
Didn't get it, but she saw I cared
Wasn't just shoes, it was sweat turned flex
Minimum wage turned to self-respect!
Saved each dollar like a countdown tick (uh)
Wasn't much, but it made me slick (uh)
Didn't need fame, just that shoebox smell (uh)
Walked out slow like I just broke spell...
Walked out slow like I just broke spell...
Walked out slow like I just broke spell
Now I buy kicks without checking price
But none hit deep like that sacrifice
No app, no raffle, just work and wait
Grinding small wins 'til the box felt great
Still keep 'em boxed in the backroom shelf
Worn just once, reminder to self
Not about drip, just what it took
That mall food court wrote my first hook
I was young, broke, full of loud belief
In a shirt too big with a folded sleeve
That me still walks in my memory's beat
Clocking in dreams with a heat on feet!
Saved each dollar like a countdown tick (uh)
Wasn't much, but it made me slick (uh)
Didn't need fame, just that shoebox smell (uh)
Walked out slow like I just broke spell...
Walked out slow like I just broke spell...
Walked out slow like I just broke spell
