Someone's Pocket - Soul Khan

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
