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 you know what it feel like Being broke made me rich, being broke 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 why I took flight, the hard times made for a good life Being broke made me rich, broke made me rich broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
Never fell in love with the Coco, Never had to hold up a store the .44 Never had the door kicked in by the feds, Laying in the bed with the that I'm gon' blow But I do what it feel like to go to school with the knock off shoes Eating free lunch, tryna act all cool, boy you better that we paid our dues would I trade that, nah, 'cause it made me better, it could have made me bitter You can't ride with the struggle, can't no figure, but it made me richer Being broke made me rich, and being low made you But being low me high, take time if you wanna get it
Being in this 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 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 times made for a good broke made me rich, being broke made me rich Being broke made me rich, being made me rich
Money may have made me richer, but the struggle made me than I ever been Learn the hustle, use ya' muscles, learn to keep ya' 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 bought before I had a dollar, being empty handed made me stupid Rich in loyalty, made in royalty, but it's so good, why I mention it
broke in this thing don't sit right Do it for my folk, get by I came through the with my head high You being think you know what it feel like Being broke made me rich, being broke 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 flight, the hard times made for a good life Being broke made me rich, being broke me rich Being broke made me rich, broke made me rich
