Flat Pockets

[Intro]

Yo this goes out

To everybody who believe in God yo

And believe that God runs the universe not money

And everybody who would never do nothing for money

They wouldn’t do for free, you know I’m saying?

Cats taking shorts to get a check

[Verse 1]

When I see someone needy, I don’t call him a bum

I take my wallet out my pocket and I give him a sum

It took some practice, now it isn’t even hard

In truth I don’t believe in money, I believe in God

Think you can believe in both? Nope, what a joke

You go as far as calling people broke

If they ain’t tryna stock up on the root of all evil

You call these people broke of all people

Then who’s fixed?

Is it the ones that you would call the super rich?

The ones who you despise because you really wanna be?

Who generate suffering in ghettos and third worlds?

Colonists who make the dollar their priority?

No thank you, God decides if I eat

And if I have a roof over my head

Y’all don’t believe in God, y’all faking it

If I get a chance to help, I’m taking it

[Hook]

I get money huh

I get money yo

I get money huh (I like my pockets flat, not fat)

I get money yo

I get money huh

I get money yo

I get money huh (I like my pockets flat, not fat)

I get money yo

I get money huh

I get money yo

I get money huh (I like my pockets flat, not fat)

I get bread

[Verse 2]

You wanna quit your job and live your passion

But you’re afraid to try it

All because there’s enough food on the planet to feed everybody

Just not enough money to buy it

That same “everybody’s doing it” approach to your life

It’ll have you thinking it’s okay to rape slaves

But you don’t see the worldwide okey-doke in front of your face

Because you’re way too busy tryna get paid

Truth is if you have enough to live

You already have enough to give, so what you waiting on?

Oh you worried that you’re gonna run out

Just be aware there’s faith in this fear

So steer clear, worry and doubt

Cos once you buy into the money lot, there’s never enough

So if you think that someone else got too much

Have a talk with yourself

I think that you might have some truth to discuss

[Hook]

I get money huh

I get money yo

I get money huh (I like my pockets flat, not fat)

I get paid yo

[Interlude]

Yo stop being so corny b

Stop being so hypocritical b

Everybody wanna say, “Oh this person they got

They got too much, they need to give back-”

Yo what are you giving back?

I don’t see you giving back, you know I’m saying?

That person think they need more money, just like

Yo everybody think they need more money

People with 10 times, 100 times more money

They wanna make more money

They’re afraid at one point they’re gonna have less money

You know I’m saying?

Yo, yo y’all ain’t nuttin but, but a bunch of cats

Bullying whoever it is you can bully

You know I’m saying? You wanna talk about race

You wanna talk about “oh white people thought-”

Those white people, they bully everybody

They enslaved all the black people, they

They, they wipe out all the Native American people

You know I’m saying? They put-

Yo, you’re not bullying anybody?

Yo are you cool, are you cool with

With a bunch of chickens and cows, getting rounded up

And cold, you know, cold tortured their entire life

You know, for somebody

If you cool with that, you’re being a hypocrite

You know I’m saying? If you’re gonna scream up

Scream up the ladder, scream down the ladder

But yo the ladder is fake, b

You free b, that’s why this whole thing is a scam b

You could do whatever you want yo
