What inspired Pocket Rocket?
Like what was I doing, the studio vibe?

basically you watching another man's pockets.
You watching somebody else's income, their salary.

You know what I mean?
So therefore mind your business.
I see a pocket watcher and mind your bees wax.
Mind your business.
The first time I realized,

So I try not to mumble. I try to say words.
And then I'll decipher the words later.
Take a good hour to understand what I said.
Enjoy myself, but also has some lyrics that not everybody,
is going to pass by all your heads.

God is always by your side even during the rough times
or the bad times, you know what I mean?
So it's like, he's always there.
You just got to know when.
At least for me, I'm speaking on my own self.

You know, if he didn't introduce me
to so much wonderful people.

Boom, boom, boom, bang on.
But like I know she's excited about the music.
Like she's really proud about it,

We can be cool.
'Cause at the end of the day,
people could leave your life
and when you sleep in a bed and you have your thoughts,
it's just you.
So it's just me being honest.
Do it for yourself, but don't do for nobody else,
because it's your life and not theirs.
