Being broke in this thing don't sit Do it for my folk, get by I through the struggle with my head high You broke 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 eating that's a good night to the lost why I took flight, the hard times made for a good life Being broke me rich, being broke made me rich Being made me rich, being 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 with the bread that I'm gon' But I do know what it feel to go to school with the knock off shoes Eating free lunch, tryna act all cool, boy you better know that we paid our Never would I trade that, nah, it made me better, it could have made me bitter You can't ride with the struggle, name no figure, but it made me richer Being broke made me rich, and low made you quit But being low made me high, take time if you get 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 made me rich, being broke made me rich Being broke made me rich, broke made me rich
Gotta keep the hot so it cook right, if everybody eating that's a good night Headed to the lost why I took flight, the hard times made for a good Being made me rich, being broke made me rich Being made me rich, being broke made me rich
Money may have made me richer, but the struggle made me richer than I ever Learn the hustle, use ya' muscles, learn to ya' mind up on the future, man out the trenches, government assistance in the beginning Keeping cans for the pennies, we saving grease after dinner Now they all my pennies, counting all my figures, all up in my business, man Now watching 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 handed made me stupid in loyalty, made in royalty, but it's so good, that why I mention it
Being broke in this thing don't sit Do it for my folk, get by I came through the struggle with my high You being broke think you what it feel like 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 everybody eating a good night to the lost why I took flight, the hard times made for a good life Being broke me rich, being broke made me rich Being broke made me rich, being broke me rich
