Elephant Phinix - Empty Pockets But a Rich Mind lyrics

[Verse 1] I take it easy on the microphone i take control i know my role I never stop i rap with purpose that's my goal Don't need no crown or throne i stay focused while you fall Like a rolling stone Slick like an alley cat dirty like a rat Put me in your speakers inhale the rap can't find your way While i design the map can't handle the weight Too bad i break your back elephant's the man ride on I 'm bringing it back to the basics close your ears your eyes You can't face it you just wear it and fake it You lack of creativity man i gotta replace it Gotta keep it real while you s** appeal On the mic check i don't ma** appeal You make yourself into becoming the meal Big mouth Small head your an easy k** [Hook] Empty pockets but a rich mind I got Empty pockets but a rich mind I got Empty pockets but a rich mind I got Empty pockets but a rich mind [Verse 2] When i think where i am man i'm in a state of mind With no looking back no resurrection no denials I beat the cause just because i don't wanna Feed a lost cause in the name of applause and Remorse Is picking a needle out of the straws trying to keep it on a rise All i see is closed doors i mean it ain't easy to evolve these days Wrong direction lost people and a minimum wage [Hook]
