Lyrics Someone's Pocket - Soul Khan

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
