When Pocket Dry

**Verse 1** When pocket dry, everybody dey busy Nobody dey ask, “My brother, you dey easy?” When money come, dem go call you honey But when e finish, dem no even send you money Mama say, “Son, life no be easy” I dey hustle every day, God make you bless me I no want fake love, I no want pity I just want person wey go stay when e no pretty **Pre-Chorus** If I no get money, would you still dey call my name? If I fall today, would you help me stand again? Because love wey money dey control Na only when e shine, dem dey knock your door **Chorus** Nobody love man without money Nobody dey smile when your pocket empty Today dem dey hail you, tomorrow dem forget you If money no dey, who go stand beside you? Nobody love man without money But I still believe say true love dey somewhere If you love me when my pocket dry I go hold you close till the day I die **Verse 2** I remember when I dey take danfo Dem no wan sit beside me for the back row Now small change enter, dem dey say “Oga” Same people wey no see me yesterday, na dem dey call me brother Girl say she love me, but she love the lifestyle Designer and fine dinner, every weekend, she smile I ask her, “If tomorrow everything go down?” She look away, she no get answer for now **Pre-Chorus** If I no get money, would you still dey call my name? If I fall today, would you help me stand again? Because love wey money dey control Na only when e shine, dem dey knock your door **Chorus** Nobody love man without money Nobody dey smile when your pocket empty Today dem dey hail you, tomorrow dem forget you If money no dey, who go stand beside you? **Bridge** But I no go give up, I go find my way Even if na little, I go hustle every day One day my story go change, I know And the people wey leave go come back for sure But when that day come, I go remember Who dey with me for the cold December No be everybody wey call you “my guy” Na the one wey stay when the money no dey, na him be real ally **Final Chorus** Nobody love man without money But real love no dey measure person by money If you hold me down when the whole world turn away I go love you true, every night and every day **Outro** Money fit bring people near you But true love go stay when money disappear No be who dey shout your name when you shine Na who dey hold you down when you dey struggle for life.
