Ever see someone pull up to a cashier in a grocery aisle
Cart stacked up high like food was going out of style?

Or maybe you were waiting at a fast food restaurant
Person ahead of you took forever cause they wanted to order up the chart

Could’ve even happened while you were strolling in the mall
Somebody couldn’t foot the bill
You could tell cause they were off the wall

Fussing and cussing, saying the cashier must’ve made a mistake
No need for drama, save it for your mama, you knew the truth that would await

You just tried to gamble to see if you could handle,
One more purchase on your card
Now you have to perform,
In the midst of this storm
Because being embarrassed is hard

Now not everyone
Who pulls this stunt
Starts to scream and shout
Some of us mumble, our performance is subtle
We just say
“I got money in my account”

Shake your head
Walk away
Everyone knows the truth
Cause they’ve done it before
Will do it some more
As long as you have no proof
