Never fell in love with the Coco, had to hold up a store with the .44 Never had the door kicked in by the feds, Laying in the bed with the that I'm gon' blow But I do know what it feel to go to school with 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, it made me better, it could have made me bitter You can't ride with the struggle, can't no figure, but it made me richer broke made me rich, and being low made you quit But being low made me high, take if you wanna get it

Money may have made me richer, but the struggle made me richer than I ever Learn the hustle, use ya' muscles, to keep ya' mind up on the future, man Came out the trenches, government in the beginning Keeping cans for the pennies, we that grease 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' I got, and wonder how I'ma get it, man I was bought before I had a dollar, being empty handed me stupid rich Rich in loyalty, in royalty, but it's so good, that why I mention it
Being in this thing don't sit right Do it for my folk, get by I through the struggle 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
Gotta keep the stove hot so it cook right, if everybody eating that's a good Headed to the lost why I took flight, the hard times for a good life Being broke me rich, being broke made me rich Being broke made me rich, being broke made me
