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