(Verse 1)
Yo, let me tell you 'bout the game we playin' today,
Inflation's on the rise, prices goin' cray-cray.
Every time I hit the store, I'm feelin' dismay,
'Cause what used to cost a dime now costs a whole payday.

Gasoline prices skyrocket, can't fill up my tank,
Food prices climbing too, it's like they playin' a prank.
From the corner store to the fancy restaurant flank,
Inflation's got us all feeling like we walking' a plank.

(Chorus)
Inflation costs rising', wallets cryin',
Every dollar stretching', but we still tryin'.
Living' paycheck to paycheck, no denying',
Inflation's got us all feelin' like we flyin' blind.

Rent keeps climbing higher, can't catch a break,
Salaries stagnatin', like we stuck in a snake.
Can't afford to chill, can't afford to take a break,
Inflation's got us hustlin', ain't no time to fake.

Healthcare costs through the roof, can't afford to be sick,
Pharmaceuticals and treatments, man, it's just too thick.
Tryna stay healthy, but it's like a magic trick,
Inflation's got us all feelin' like we playin' stick.

(Chorus)
Inflation costs risin', wallets cryin',
Every dollar stretchin', but we still tryin'.
Livin' paycheck to paycheck, no denyin',
Inflation's got us all feelin' like we flyin' blind.
