Lyrics

“1991”

Verse 1
My resistance to making money
was never about money
It was about other people
and their reactions
to me making money
and having things

Verse 2
This was after school
In 1991

Me and my best friend
entered a competition
in a store

We wrote our names
and our guesses
on notes
and handed them in

Verse 3
A couple of days later
they phoned me

They said my name
Not ours
Mine

I didn’t believe we’d win
She did
She insisted

She deserved the win
because she believed
I was the one
who didn’t

Verse 4
I went to the store
and got the egg

When I got home
my mom was there

She intervened
She said before we shared it
I should take chocolate out

She explained
She had reasons
She made it sound right

Verse 5
I didn’t like it
I knew I didn’t like it
But I allowed it

I let my mom manipulate me
I told myself
maybe she was right
maybe that’s why I deserved it

Verse 6
When I met my best friend
my confidence was already lower

I wasn’t used to lying

The egg was lighter
but something in me
was heavier

Chorus
Take some out first
before you share it
Make it smaller
before it shows

Have it
but not whole

Verse 7
So today
I tell my mom no

I won’t do it

I scream
Sit the fuck down

Verse 8
In my new memory
I give it all
to my best friend

Not to be kind
Not to be fair

But to take it
out of my mother’s hands

Final Verse
Because the lesson wasn’t sharing

The lesson was
my mom has always been a thief

She took from people
in so many ways
quietly
with reasons

And I never really saw it

Outro
I felt that pain once
and I never wanted it again

So I stopped winning
I stopped making money

Not because I couldn’t
But because I wouldn’t
be like her

And now I see it

And now
I choose to win
without stealing
from myself
