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