Being broke in this don't sit right Do it for my folk, get by I came through the with my head high You being broke think you know what it feel Being broke made me rich, broke made me rich Being made me rich, being broke made me rich
keep the stove hot so it cook right, if everybody eating that's a good night Headed to the lost why I took flight, the hard made for a good life Being broke made me rich, being broke me rich Being broke made me rich, 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, in the bed with the bread that I'm gon' blow But I do know what it feel like to go to school the knock off shoes Eating lunch, tryna act all cool, boy you better know that we paid our dues Never would I trade that, nah, 'cause it made me better, it have made me bitter You ride with the struggle, can't name no figure, but it made me richer Being broke me rich, and being low made you quit But low made 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 through the struggle with my high You being broke you know what it feel like Being made me rich, being broke made me rich Being broke made me rich, being 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 made for a good life Being broke made me rich, being broke made me Being made me rich, being broke made me rich
Money may have me richer, but the struggle made me richer than I ever 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 grease after dinner 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 wonder how 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 thing don't sit right Do it for my folk, get by I came through the with my head high You being broke you know what it feel like Being broke made me rich, being made me rich Being 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 lost why I took flight, the hard times made for a life Being made me rich, being broke made me rich Being broke made me rich, being broke me rich
