Homeboy Sandman
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
[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 money 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
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
