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 Keeping cans for the pennies, we saving that grease after Now they counting all my pennies, all my figures, all up in my business, man Now they what 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 made me stupid rich in loyalty, made in royalty, but it's so good, that why I mention it
Being broke in this don't sit right Do it for my folk, get by I came through the struggle my head high You being broke you know what it feel like broke made me rich, being broke made me rich Being broke made me rich, being broke made me
