[Verse 1]
Oh, we've got life right in the pocket
Oh, don't you know what I mean?
Oh, we've got life right in the pocket
Oh, it's been right up our sleeves
[Verse 2]
It's been some time since I have seen your face
Seems we both gained some weight
Our eyes crease more than our mouths these days
Yeah, we be showing our age
[Bridge]
But oh, we've got life right in the pocket
Oh, don't you know what I mean?
[Verse 3]
We had to know the simple things would change
We knew they'd complicate
You gotta play it straight, never fold on a crooked game
You gotta play anyway
When the end is coming, we probably won't be around to see it
Better just to follow me, keep on best-behavin'
[Outro]
But oh, we've got life right in the pocket
Oh, you know what I say
Oh, you don't know what just to say here
Oh, it's not what you say
Oh, it's not enough just to say it
Oh, it's in how we be
