Being broke in this thing don't sit Do it for my folk, get by I came through the struggle with my head You being broke you know what it feel like Being broke me rich, being broke made me rich Being broke made me rich, broke made me rich
Gotta the stove hot so it cook right, if everybody eating that's a good night Headed to the lost why I took flight, the times made for a good life Being broke made me rich, being broke me rich Being broke made me rich, being broke made me
Never fell in love the Coco, Never had to hold up a store with the .44 Never had the door in by the feds, Laying in the bed with the bread that I'm gon' blow But I do know what it like to go to school with the knock off shoes Eating free lunch, tryna act all cool, boy you better know that we our dues Never would I that, nah, 'cause it made me better, it could have made me bitter You can't with the struggle, can't name no figure, but it made me richer Being broke made me rich, and low made you quit But being low me high, take time if you wanna get it
Being broke in thing don't sit right Do it for my folk, get by I came through the struggle with my high You being broke think you know it feel like Being broke made me rich, being broke me rich Being broke made me rich, being broke made me
Gotta keep the stove hot so it cook right, if eating that's a good night Headed to the lost why I took flight, the hard times for a good life Being broke me rich, being broke made me rich broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
Money may have made me richer, but the struggle me richer than I ever been Learn the hustle, use ya' muscles, learn to keep ya' up on the future, man Came out the trenches, government in the beginning Keeping cans for the pennies, we that grease after dinner Now they 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 how I'ma get it, man I was bought before I had a dollar, being empty handed made me stupid Rich in loyalty, in royalty, but it's so good, that why I mention it
Being broke in this thing sit right Do it for my folk, get by I came through the struggle my head high You being broke think you what it feel like broke made me rich, being broke made me rich Being made me rich, being broke made me rich
Gotta keep the stove hot so it cook right, if everybody eating that's a night Headed to the lost why I took flight, the hard made for a good life Being broke made me rich, being broke made me Being broke me rich, being broke made me rich
