Broke and Stupid

"First we're affected by what we know

When I talk to the kids in high school classes, college classes

That's the first thing I tell them

Get the information while you're here, right

Nothing worse than being stupid when you get out of school

So get the information

Being broke is bad, but being stupid is what's really bad

And what's really, really bad is being broke and stupid"

Uh, This the shit I dreamed about when I way only four

Sugar water, mac 'n' cheese, we were broke and poor

Court evictions, landlords never showed remorse

Now I'm in the buildin', when they greet me they gon' hold the door

I never needed your acceptance, this is my destin'

I made Devil's Work and turned it into God's blessings

Can't knock me off the block, this is not Tetris

Life lessons I learned, table's turned, that's my assessment

They told me to be patient but I need to flex

I'm so famous I can finally hit Jay-Z direct

I might hit up Drake and tell him to send me the jet

I might drink CÎROC with Puff if he send me a check

Lotta squares in my family, I can see the stress

Bunch a crabs in a bucket try and eat my flesh

I ain't nothin' like you niggas, I don't even rest

I don't sleep until I see success, I wish you the best

I ain't on no hatin' shit, I just wanna get rich

I don't do relationships, I don't wanna commit

Lotta bitches did me dirty, ain't talk to me since

And now I'm insecure, closed off, but that's hard to admit

I'm just thinking 'bout the days they were makin' me jealous

Can't rain on my parade when I'm made of umbrellas

Fuck it, they don't faze me, I don't stay in my feelings

Thought money would change me but it changed all my niggas

I just bought a Lamborghini and painted the ceilin'

I ain't braggin' I'm just happy I made me a million

ADHD, I was slow, now they label me brilliant

I'm proud a niggas like Hov, he made him a billion

I hope I never go broke, try and break through the ceilings

Fifty thousand on the low, I might make an appearance

This that shit that made them kids run away from their parents

Nigga I'm breaking your spirit

I told myself if I go out then I'ma light my wrist

If I die today, I'm happy for the life I live

And my son is only 3, he be like, "Mama rich"

Told him go outside and play, just be inside by six

I done make my niggas proud, you ain't gotta love me

Give a fuck about your opinion only God could judge me

I don't even write on paper I just write on Tully

I'ma hire an assistant make her write it for me

This is me against the world, that's the mood I'm in

Hop up out the fuckin' pussy, like I'm new again

I remember they was callin' me a hooligan in special education

I just might go back to school again, whoa

Only hit it once, then I make her leave

We ain't cuddlin', I need some space to breathe

If she fuck me good, I let her stay till three

No I'm not your man, but we can make believe

Okay you gotta ass, that don't mean a thing to me

Stop actin' like a brat, bitch, I ain't Jermaine Dupree

These pussy niggas talkin' 'bout what they gon' say to me

And they gon' beat me up, I told 'em

"That's some shit I pay to see", stupid

"And what's really, really bad is being broke and stupid

Nothing much worse than that, unless you're sick

Right, sick, broke and stupid, that's

About as far a you can fall unless you're ugly

Right, but surely that would be the ultimate, right?

The ultimate negative life, ugly, sick, broke and stupid"

I turn my life into a movie bitch, I think I'm Rocky

I can't even wear my jewellery now, they think I'm cocky

I know that I got myself if I ain't got nobody

Just bought a pistol, I just hope that it ain't got no bodies

You gon' have to pay the price if you get wishy-washy

This a Tallageda Night, I think I'm Ricky Bobby

My advice, quit the music, get a different hobby

All you little niggas sound the same, just a different copy, whoa

And I bow my head and pray for this

Yeah I spilled my guts and made a mess

Shit, I ran on Mars and made a wish

Yeah, I stand on cars like Jaden Smith

And I ball so hard I sprain my wrist

If I shoot it then I ain't gon' miss

Loyal nigga so I ain't gon' switch

Blew my money at the strippy, it don't make no sense

Broke and stupid, shit'll never be the same again

"And what's really, really bad is being broke and stupid"
