[Verse 1]
I came up on cracked curb steps
Old shoes, fresh debt
Mama said, “Keep your head up”
So I kept it pressed
I don’t talk much, I move
Let the room catch truth
Got a wolf in my chest
And a bruise on my youth
Small-town hands, big-time hunger
Hard face, long runner
They want shine, I want quarters
I want peace, I want summer
Count my scars like change
Make a plan, then I switch lanes
If they ask how I got here
I say, “Pain with a clean name”
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold that line
Don’t blink now
I been built from the down-low
Still stand proud
Feel that pull
Right now
When it gets too heavy
I lean in, not out
[Chorus]
Pocket full of smoke
Pocket full of smoke
I keep it low, I keep it low
Pocket full of smoke
Pocket full of smoke
Watch me go, watch me go
I don’t fold
I don’t fold
Pocket full of smoke
Pocket full of smoke
[Verse 2]
New day, same grind
Cold start, hot mind
Got a ring in my ear
From the things I left behind
No handouts, no favors
Just miles and labor
I learned grit from the floorboards
And grace from my neighbors
Big talk, I hear it
Then I clear it
They want me off-balance
I just got nearer
When the whole world lean
I don’t lean back
I turn wreck into rhythm
Turn a loss into a track
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold that line
Don’t blink now
I been built from the down-low
Still stand proud
Feel that pull
Right now
When it gets too heavy
I lean in, not out
[Chorus]
Pocket full of smoke
Pocket full of smoke
I keep it low, I keep it low
Pocket full of smoke
Pocket full of smoke
Watch me go, watch me go
I don’t fold
I don’t fold
Pocket full of smoke
Pocket full of smoke
[Bridge]
If I fall, I get back up
Dust on my tongue, still tough
They can keep that easy road
I was made for the rough
One more breath
One more shot
One more step
That’s all I got
And I got enough
[Chorus]
Pocket full of smoke
Pocket full of smoke
I keep it low, I keep it low
Pocket full of smoke
Pocket full of smoke
Watch me go, watch me go
I don’t fold
I don’t fold
Pocket full of smoke
Pocket full of smoke
