I've got my good-mood flow
Queen, even without a blazer
All I get are final notices
No cash
My aura comes from elsewhere
Ahh-ah-ah
Tonight, it's on me
I'm overdrawn
But I'll buy you a drink
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock
Gotta make cash
But I spark a little smoke
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock
They're banging on my door, knock-knock
Gotta make cash
But it ain't easy
Who's knocking?
It's the city bailiff
I wanna blow it all up
Like a Latina bombshell
Camping in Crocs
It won't be Brazil
I've got my good-mood flow
Queen, even without a blazer
All I get are final notices
No cash
My aura comes from elsewhere
I've got my good-mood flow
Queen, even without a blazer
All I get are final notices
I'm overdrawn
But I'll buy you a drink
Ahh-ah-ah
Let me cover that
I'm overdrawn
But I'll buy you a drink
Ahh-ah-ah
Tonight, it's on me
I'm overdrawn
But I'll buy you a drink
I bat my eyes
But I've only got one fake lash
The card is gold
But the account's empty
Apartment on rent
I crash at my girlfriends'
Almost this close
To selling my streams
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Gotta make cash
But I spark a little smoke
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock
They're banging on my door, knock-knock
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock
They're banging on my door, knock-knock
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock
They're banging on my door, knock-knock
I've got my good-mood flow
Queen, even without a blazer
All I get are final notices
I'm overdrawn
But I'll buy you a drink
Drink, drink, drink, drink
I've got the flow
Queen, even without
I've got the flow
Queen, even without
I've got the flow
Queen, even without
Let me cover that
I've got the flow
I'm overdrawn
But I'll buy you a drink

SONG MEANING

TIC-TAC is a cheeky slice-of-life anthem where the clock is always ticking, the rent is overdue, yet the vibe stays sky-high. L.E.J. paints herself as a cash-strapped queen: gold card with an empty balance, eviction notices piling up, even a bailiff knocking at the door. Still, she lights a cigarette, buys the next round, and keeps her flow de bonne humeur (good-mood groove) shining. The repeated “tic-tac” hook echoes both the pressure of time and the clack of coins she doesn’t quite have, turning everyday financial stress into a playful beat you can’t help but nod to.

Behind the humor lies a relatable message. The song salutes anyone who juggles dreams with overdraft fees, reminding us that self-confidence and generosity are not reserved for the rich. L.E.J. shows that you can reign in sneakers instead of a power suit, that you can still sparkle even when your bank account doesn’t. It is a feel-good reminder that while money problems might knock, optimism can knock louder—so pour a glass, dance it off, and keep the clock from dictating your shine.
