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