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 saving that 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 wonder how get it, man I was bought I had a dollar, being empty handed made me stupid rich Rich in loyalty, made in royalty, but so good, that why I mention it
Being in this 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 know what it feel Being made me rich, being broke made 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 flight, the hard times made for a good life Being broke made me rich, being broke made me Being broke made me rich, being broke made me
