Being broke in thing don't sit right Do it for my folk, get by I through the struggle with my head high You being broke think you know what it feel 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 everybody eating a good night Headed to the lost why I took flight, the times made for a good life Being broke made me rich, being made me rich broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
Never fell in love with the Coco, had to hold up a store with the .44 Never had the door kicked in by the feds, Laying in the bed 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 know that we paid our dues Never would I trade that, nah, 'cause it me better, it could have made me bitter You can't ride with the struggle, can't name no figure, but it made me Being broke me rich, and being low made you quit But being low me high, take time if you wanna get it
Being broke in this thing sit right Do it for my folk, get by I came the struggle with my head high You being broke think you know what it feel Being broke made me rich, broke made me rich broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
Gotta keep the stove hot so it 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, broke made me rich Being broke made me rich, being broke me rich
Money may have made me richer, but the struggle made me richer than I been the hustle, use ya' muscles, learn to keep ya' mind up on the future, man Came out the trenches, assistance in the beginning Keeping cans for the pennies, we saving that grease dinner Now they all my pennies, counting 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 before I had a dollar, being empty handed made me stupid rich in loyalty, made in royalty, but it's so good, that why I mention 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 think you know what it like Being broke made me rich, broke made me rich Being broke made me rich, 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 made me rich broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
