Empty pockets Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D5]All these [C5]politi[G]cs, it's a decep[C5]tion
Fall[A5]ing on america's w[D5]eak
They say we're [C5]keeping
[G]ourselves down
[C5]We sold out on [A5]half ass trailer
park dream[D5]s
So, now we're living [G]with
[C5]rednecks, racists, black- white hatred
I'm [A5]try ing so hard to love [D5]my nation
Un[G]derfed,
overbred, I [C5]just can't get ahead
It's [Am]not about the r[A5]aces
or the revelations

[Verse 2]
People [A5]shooting up the blocks
because [C5]of empty pockets
[Am]Fighting with the [A5]cops because
[C5]of empty pockets
[Am]Selling what we got because
[C5]of empty p[D5]ockets
[E5]Blaming every [E]other [D5]face for
our empty [Am]pockets
[A5]And I thin[D5]k we need a shift

[Verse 3]
[G]
in direc[C5]tion
Better [A5]wake your ass out [D5]of sleep out of sleep
and stop [G]juding others
[C5]Who struggle [Am]just like [A5]you and me
[D5]'Cause now we're living [G]with hard times,
sex crimes
[C5]Friends are hard to find,
i'm [A5]trying not [D5]to lose my mind
[G]In the low- class,
high- class [C5]in the middle sinking fast
I [Am]know you wanna [A5]blame
it on my [B]education

[Verse 4]
I'm [A5]hanging on the [Am]block because
[C5]of empty pockets
[Am]Fighting with the coops because
[C5]of empty pockets
[Am]Selling what I [A5]got because
[C5]of empty pockets
[E5]Blaming every other [D5]face
to our empty [Am]pockets[D5]
[E]Lost without [D5]a trace because
of empty [Am]pocke[A5]ts[D5]
[E]Living in a different place
[D5]because of empty [Am]pockets
[C5]Empty pock

[Verse 5]
[Am]ets
[C5]Empty pock[Am]ets
[A5]Empt[C5]y pockets[E5][D5][A5]
