Broke

Being broke in this thing don't sit right

Do it for my folk, tryna get by

I came through the struggle with my head high

You being broke think you know what it feel like

Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich

Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich

Gotta keep the stove hot so it cook right, if everybody eating that's a good night

Headed to the lost why I took flight, the hard times made for a good life

Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich

Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich

Never fell in love with the Coco, Never had to hold up the store with the .44

Never had the door kicked in by the feds while I'm laying in the bed on the bread that I'm gon' blow

But I do know what it feel like to go to school with the knock off shoes

Eating free lunch, tryna act all cool, boy you better know that we paid our dues

Never would I trade that, nah, 'cause it made me better, it could have made me bitter

Can't buy that struggle, can't name no figure, but it made me richer

Being broke made me rich, and being low made you quit

But being low made me high, take time if you want this

Being broke in this thing don't sit right

Do it for my folk, tryna get by

I came through the struggle with my head high

You being broke think you know what it feel like

Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich

Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich

Gotta keep the stove hot so it cook right, if everybody eating that's a good night

Headed to the lost is why I took flight, the hard times made for a good life

Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich

Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich

Money may have made me me richer, but the struggle got me richer than I ever been

Learn to hustle, use ya' muscles, learn to grind and keep ya' mind up on the future, man

We came out the trenches, government assistance in the beginning

Keeping cans for the pennies, we saving that grease after dinner

Now they counting all my pennies, counting all my figures, all up in my business, man

Now they watching what I'm spending, wonderin' what I got, and wonder how I get it, man

I was bought before I had a dollar, being empty handed made me stupid rich

Rich in loyalty, can't pay that lawyer fee, but it's all good

That's why I pitch it in

Being broke in this thing don't sit right

Do it for my folk, tryna get by

I came through the struggle with my head high

You being broke think you know what it feel like

Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich

Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich

Gotta keep the stove hot so it cook right, if everybody eating that's a good night

Headed to the lost is why I took flight, the hard times made for a good life

Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich

Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
