(Intro — airy, nostalgic)

Yeah…

XXXGIRLXXX

Before the numbers owned the soul

לפני הכסף… before the money…

We were human

⸻

(Verse 1)

I seen a mother cry in a parking lot rain

Card declined twice, kid pullin’ on her chain

Everybody hustlin’, nobody got time

Gold in the mouth but depression in the eyes

Back then, stories traveled over firelight

Now validation measured by the likes

People sell dreams just to pay their rent

Lose their heart trying to become content

I remember readin’ ’bout the old days slow

Bread for the milk, no barcode glow

Neighbor knew neighbor, doors stayed wide

Now everybody got security outside

כסף everywhere, fillin’ every room

Even love feel temporary too

Tell me what happened to the simple touch

When a little was enough, yeah, enough was enough

(Pre-Chorus)

We built empires made of plastic pain

Bought new souls just to feel okay

אבל הלב… the heart still knows

Something got lost on the road

⸻

(Chorus)

Back when bread could trade for milk

And love wasn’t measured by the silk

We were poor maybe, but rich inside

Now everybody got money and hides

שָׁלוֹם, where did peace go?

Everybody move fast, hearts move slow

Gold chains swing but the spirit weak

Everybody got a voice, nobody speak

Back when bread could trade for milk

Hands stayed dirty but the soul stayed built

Maybe the world forgot how to feel

Maybe the scars became too real

⸻

(Verse 2 — more rhythmic freestyle energy)

Look

Big bank numbers never healed no pain

Private jet clouds still carry rain

Million-dollar smile with a pill inside

Everybody famous, nobody alive

Kids wanna grow just to monetize

Turn their whole life to a highlight

No stars in the sky from the city smoke

Too many rich men dying broke

I heard a grandfather say once

“Boy, people used to own less and laugh more”

Now the rich buy time while the poor sell blood

World keeps drowning in designer floods

ברוך השם for the food on plates

Still got sunsets people can’t create

Can’t put taxes on a midnight breeze

Can’t buy God with a stack of green

(Bridge — dreamy and emotional)

Maybe heaven looked like open fields

Fresh bread cooling on the window sill

No diamonds, no screens, no war for fame

Just names remembered ’cause they loved the same

אנחנו שוכחים מי אנחנו

(We forget who we are)

Running so fast from silence

Scared of hearing ourselves breathe

⸻

(Chorus — larger, emotional)

Back when bread could trade for milk

And mothers sang while fixing quilts

No filters hiding tired eyes

Just truth beneath the moonlit skies

שָׁלוֹם, where did peace go?

Everybody move fast, hearts move slow

Gold chains swing but the spirit weak

Everybody got a voice, nobody speak

Back when bread could trade for milk

Cold hard winters but the hugs felt real

Now the world got everything to buy

Still don’t know why we cry

⸻

(Verse 3 — raw freestyle outro vibe)

Yeah

I seen billionaires scared of dying alone

And old poor couples dancing at home

Tell me what currency measures that?

What bank account replaces a lap

A child don’t care if your watch cost ten

They just want you there again

But people chase paper till their soul collapse

Build skyscrapers over panic attacks

Maybe progress ain’t progress if the spirit dies

Maybe truth still live in simpler lives

Maybe God don’t care what car you drove

Maybe He asks who you fed when they were cold

לילה טוב to the lost ones still awake

Still wondering how much more they can take

I hope you find what money can’t touch

’Cause this whole world forgot love too much

⸻

(Outro — fading, emotional humming)

Bread for milk…

Milk for bread…

Hearts stayed full…

Even when the pockets weren’t…

שָׁלוֹם… שָׁלוֹם…

XXXGIRLXXX

Until the world remembers again…
