Story Behind The Song

This is about myself growing up being broke and working hard for anything.

Song Description

Empty pockets don't determine who you are or who you can be.

Lyrics

Empty pockets hold no reason
Empty pockets hold the truth
Empty pockets throughout the years
Throughout the years of my youth
Hard work was never lacking
It's what was understood
Compensation was just knowing
What I did was good

Empty pockets kept me moving
Empty pockets kept me well
I never had the money to buy what other kids would sale
Empty pockets kept me humble
I appreciate more too
You may find you understand me
From having empty pockets too

Empty pockets they still linger
There are thoughts that I can share
But the lessons that they taught me
You only learned if you were there

Empty pockets hold no reason
Empty pockets hold the truth
Empty pockets throughout the years
Throughout the years of my youth
Hard work was never lacking
It's what was understood
Compensation was just knowing
What I did was good

Empty pockets kept me guarded
Empty pockets made me tough
When Empty pockets came up short
That's when I learned to bluff
So Don't misunderstand me
There's no regrets in what I did
It's just today's reflection
From empty pockets as a kid
Cause, Empty pockets hold no reason
Empty pockets hold the truth
Empty pockets throughout the years
Throughout the years of my youth
Hard work was never lacking
It's what was understood
Compensation was just knowing
What I did was good
So did I learn a lesson
You know that life's not fair
Empty pockets kept me humble
To say thanks and when to share

Cause, Empty pockets hold no reason
Empty pockets hold the truth
Empty pockets throughout the years
Throughout the years of my youth
