Educated Consumers - In the pocket

Pretty penny in the pocket
And a place to live
I got food to eat
And a girl to kiss, now
How anyone y'all stomp it
That's the way it is
You better move your feet
And do more than exist

9 o'clock and I ain't outta bed yet
Over slept cause the Cypher
With heads kept on and on till
The sun was rising
Drag my brain off the pillow
Rub my eyes, then
Shit shower shave
And it's off to work
I ain't no 8 hour slave
With a boss to serve
So I do what I'm asked
And we all get along
I Move a few boxes
And Write a lota songs
Every two weeks, pretty pеnny
Or a peso
Manipulate my j yo
New placе is payed for
By the way b'no
Second class in the pent
I'm doing away with chasing ass
And getting bent
I Move at a pace
I don't have to regret
And The internet sales
Cover half of my rent. now
Play the game, just
Don't simply play your round
The money can lift you up
Or it can weigh you down
Pretty penny in the pocket
And a place to live
I got food to eat
And a girl to kiss, now
How anyone y'all stomp it
That's the way it is
You better move your feet
And do more than exist

So throw your pennies in the air

So throw your pennies in the air

So throw your pennies in the air

So throw your pennies in the air
And the pocket

I seen an old friend
I haven't seen in a while
I'm seeing him frown
While he seeing me smile
He asked how ive been
I said no complaints
I returned the question
He runned down his eighths
He ain't got no bitches
Giving him dome
And His momma ain't cool
With him living at home
He ain't got no job
And ain't paying for his kids
An he asks why things
Went the way that they did
I recalled the summer
He spent shooting heroin
When I was shooting hoops at the
Ball courts in Maryland
He stole to feed his habit
From the people
Who were there for him
Including me, I could sense
His embarrassment
From the same side of
The tracks as mine, but
He was content getting high and by
With love and opportunity
We were both equipped, but
Between you and I
Only one made the most of it
Thats most of it
And why I say
Pretty penny in the pocket
And a place to live
I got food to eat
And a girl to kiss, now
How anyone y'all stomp it
That's the way it is
You better move your feet
And do more than exist

So throw your pennies in the air

So throw your pennies in the air

So throw your pennies in the air

So throw your pennies in the air
And the pocket

Why would look towards
Objects to lead you
Why would you let
A reputation preceed you
Yo I can understand
Doing what you need to
Everybody wants some comforts
You know Emc's do but
If the routine is see through
How can it please you?
Admire the view till
Your surroundings deplete you
Withhold any desire to
Question the cameras
Existing in invisible parameters
Standing up from the
Musical chairs
I observe the people
And thier usual cares
Consumerism
How we're living and prone to
Owning nice cars
But the payments on you
Cellular phones, who?
Tell me in person
I can't take the call now
I'm busy rehearsing
Ya feeling me though
I can tell by your fake cough
Busting on the floor here's
Finally paid off

Pretty penny in the pocket
And a place to live
I got food to eat
And a girl to kiss, now
How anyone y'all stomp it
That's the way it is
You better move your feet
And do more than exist
