about

what money can't obtain

lyrics

hook:

with a price like that, honey, i can't buy
but i won't be mad just cause that ain't mine
if it it's only cool for now then why'd i cop it
i don't wanna spend my life in someone's pocket

1:

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
that's five cents a piece, i'm just relieved
end of the day, that i'm blessed to eat

hook:

with a price like that, honey, i can't buy
but i won't be mad just cause that ain't mine
if it it's only cool for now then why'd i cop it?
i don't wanna spend my life in someone's pocket

2:

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

hook:

with a price like that, honey, i can't buy
but i won't be mad just cause that ain't mine
if it it's only cool for now then why'd i cop it?
i dont wanna spend my life in someone's pocket
