Intro

Post scarcity
Post scarcity
Yeah
Say it with me

Chorus

Post scarcity, post scarcity
Everybody got enough, now look at me
Post scarcity, post scarcity
Sun on the roof and the power's on me
We don't fight for crumbs no more
We built a bigger door
Post scarcity, post scarcity
Say it loud, we got more than we need

Verse 1

Mama worked a double just to keep the lights humming
Now the lights run on sunlight and the bill says nothing
I was raised on the waiting list, raised on maybe next year
Now the next year's here and the answer's yes, it's here
Used to stretch a dollar till it screamed for mercy
Now the desert got a river and the world ain't thirsty
Salt water to sweet water, clean as a hymn
Every kid in the desert learning how to swim
They said greed was the engine, said hunger was the fuel
Turns out curiosity was the better tool
I ain't flexing on you, I'm flexing with you, see
When the cost hits zero, every flex is a we
Took the chains off the gate, that's the new jewelry
Took the walls off the school, now the whole block schooling me
I'm a genius in a world where genius is utility
Plugged into the wall like water and electricity

Chorus

Post-Chorus

More, more, more than enough
More, more, more than enough
Hands up if you ever had to go without
Hands up, now we never gotta go without

Verse 2

I used to dream of foreign cars, now I dream of time
Ninety minutes with my daughter is the flyest thing that's mine
Robot drove the truck so the trucker drove home
Now he coaching Little League and he's never alone
Factory hums at midnight with the lights turned off
'Cause the machines don't need 'em and the price fell off
Insulin for pennies, glasses for a dime
Every grandma in the village gonna see just fine
They told us there's a pie and it's only so wide
So we built a bigger oven and we all got a slice
Not a slice, a whole bakery, a bakery chain
Every block got a bakery, I'mma say it again
I'm the voice of the surplus, I'm the anthem of the plenty
The kid who had nothing, now nobody's running empty
So when they ask what happened, how the story got told
We stopped fighting over gold and we started making gold
