About Kidney for Bitcoin
Kidney for Bitcoin - By ACRYPTOCAT
Well the rain stopped fallin’ and the banker came ’round
Said the note was due and the farm’s goin’ down
My old pickup’s leakin’ oil on the gravel drive
And the whiskey bottle’s empty, barely keepin’ me alive
I had a little stack of bitcoin buried in the cloud
Told myself a thousand times I’d never sell it out
But the bills were stackin’ higher than the hay in the loft
So I made a choice that most folks’d call soft
I sold my kidney for some bitcoin, boys
Cut a piece of me away just to keep my digital joys
In the bear market winter when the price hit the floor
I held on to my future, sold that kidney, what’s more
It hurt like the devil when they wheeled me away
But my wallet’s still singin’ at the end of the day
Sold my kidney for bitcoin, and I’d do it again
’Cause some things in this life ain’t for sellin’, my friend
Drove into the city with a ache in my side
Met a fella in a back room who didn’t ask why
Laid me on a table underneath a bare bulb light
Woke up in a motel with a scar and no fight
My buddies all shook their heads when they heard the news
Said “boy you lost your mind, what’d you go and do?”
I tipped my hat and smiled through the pain in my chest
Said “I still got my bitcoin, and that’s what I love best”
I sold my kidney for some bitcoin, boys
Cut a piece of me away just to keep my digital joys
In the bear market winter when the price hit the floor
I held on to my future, sold that kidney, what’s more
Now the moon’s climbin’ higher over these old back roads
And my scar’s just a story that nobody knows
Sold my kidney for bitcoin, and I walk a little slow
But my sats keep on stackin’ everywhere I go
You can take my truck, you can take my land
You can take the wedding ring right off my left hand
But you can’t take my bitcoin, that’s where I draw the line
I’d sell another kidney ’fore I let that fortune shine
I sold my kidney for some bitcoin, y’all
Gave away a vital part just to answer the call
Through the bear market blues and the nights I couldn’t sleep
I held on to my dream and the promise I’d keep
Now I’m limpin’ through the fields with a grin on my face
Watchin’ that orange coin climb to its rightful place
Sold my kidney for bitcoin… and I ain’t ashamed
’Cause a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do to stay in the game
