'Cause when your pockets flat and you ain't got no one
Ain't nobody giving you nothing
Stand tall, nigga, don't give up
'Cause when you bounce back
That shit gon' feel so good
Your struggle made you strong
And you don't owe a soul
'Cause my pockets was empty, baby
Ask them to put me in position, save me
But them niggas ain't listen
Caught my case, got sent to prison
I sat back, worked on my vision
That's the shit that made me

Couldn't wait 'til I got me a bag
Couldn't wait 'til I got me a bag
Couldn't wait 'til I got in my bag
Couldn't wait 'til I got in my bag
She held it down from the jump
Couldn't wait to go get her a bag
Couldn't wait to see her with that bag
Couldn't wait 'til she get in her bag

I ain't have shit on my books
I used to not have a crumb
Now it's two hundred racks on my neck
I spend a stack on cologne
Eight hundred racks for my home
Any bitch can't just come over
I ain't got nothing to prove
All of the real niggas know

'Cause when your pockets flat and you ain't got no one
Ain't nobody giving you nothing
Stand tall, nigga, don't give up
'Cause when you bounce back
That shit gon' feel so good
Your struggle made you strong
And you don't owe a soul
'Cause my pockets was empty, baby
Ask them to put me in position, save me
But them niggas ain't listen
Caught my case, got sent to prison
I sat back, worked on my vision
That's the shit that made me

Couldn't wait 'til I got me a bag
Couldn't wait 'til I got me a bag
Couldn't wait 'til I got in my bag
Couldn't wait 'til I got in my bag
She held it down from the jump
Couldn't wait to go get her a bag
Couldn't wait to see her with that bag
Couldn't wait 'til she get in her bag

Rest in peace to the man that raised me
Saw him dead and I went crazy
He had a heart attack, I miss him
Almost took it out on some niggas
Caught a case before I did it
That's probably what saved me

I had a lot on my plate
I ain't have shit in my stomach
I just needed opportunity
Never asked niggas for nothing
You know they gave me nothing
You know they all asking for something
I can't save niggas
I'm only saving this money

'Cause when your pockets flat and you ain't got no one
Ain't nobody giving you nothing
Stand tall, nigga, don't give up
'Cause when you bounce back
That shit gon' feel so good
Your struggle made you strong
And you don't owe a soul
'Cause my pockets was empty, baby
Ask them to put me in position, save me
But them niggas ain't listen
Caught my case, got sent to prison
I sat back, worked on my vision
That's the shit that made me

Couldn't wait 'til I got me a bag
Couldn't wait 'til I got me a bag
Couldn't wait 'til I got in my bag
Couldn't wait 'til I got in my bag
She held it down from the jump
Couldn't wait to go get her a bag
Couldn't wait to see her with that bag
Couldn't wait 'til she get in her bag
