Someone's Pocket

With a price like that, honey, I can't buy

But I won't be mad just cause that ain't mine,

If it's only cool for now then why'd I cop it,

I don't wanna spend my life in someone's pocket

I ain't got a lot but what I got means a lot to me,

Something that I learned back when it was just my Mom and me,

I take the crumbs and give the cake to my colony,

Tap water, three meals a day in my pottery,

Son, I never play the fool, because my plate is full

Stopped eating fish but still listen to Paid In Full,

If that ain't relatable, this is how I play it cool,

The money you ain't made should never be what they make of you,

Some say when you living kinda lean,

The end'll justify trying to live beyond your means,

But if you try to lean on them,

They're like, "We not friends",

So back up, son this shit is not a dream,

What kind of dude'll brag about his cash in a recession,

I'm seeing all my neighbors steal my cans for the redemption,

And that's five cents a piece, I'm just relieved,

End of the day, that I'm blessed to eat

Daddy was a rich boy then became a broke man,

Yes y'all it was debt calls 'til the phone jammed,

Mama was the breadwinner on it like an antenna,

When I started slacking she was dragging me with both hands,

Slap me if I'm ever dropping hundreds on a style,

Cause my grandmother ain't even have plumbing as a child,

But I'm up to ankle for stuff that I'm thankful,

If I never make it rain 'til the puddle is a pile,

Got clothes in my dresser and a phone that connects,

To all the folks that I treasure whether home or wherever,

Got a girl that I feel like I've known for forever,

12 hour bus rides since the moment I met her,

But she it makes it worthwhile,

And my favorite songs make a long time quicker than the pivot of turnstile,

I ain't got time to sit and ponder my net worth,

As long as my legs work, I'm moving
