Being in this thing don't sit right Do it for my folk, get by I came through the 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 broke me rich

fell in love with the Coco, Never had to hold up a store with 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 with the knock off Eating free lunch, tryna act all cool, boy you better that we paid our dues Never would I that, nah, 'cause it made me better, it could have made me bitter You ride with 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
broke in this 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 made me rich, being broke made me rich Being made me rich, being broke made me rich
Gotta keep the stove hot so it cook right, if eating that's a good night Headed to the lost why I took flight, the hard times made for a life broke made me rich, being broke made me rich Being broke made me rich, being broke made me
Money may have made me richer, but the made me richer than I ever been Learn the hustle, use ya' muscles, to keep ya' mind up on the future, man out the trenches, government assistance in the beginning Keeping cans for the pennies, we saving that grease dinner Now counting all my pennies, counting 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 bought before I had a dollar, being handed made me stupid rich in loyalty, made in royalty, but it's so good, that why I mention it
Being broke in this thing sit right Do it for my folk, get by I through the struggle with my head high You being think you know what it feel like Being broke made me rich, being broke made me Being made me rich, being broke made me rich
Gotta keep the stove hot so it cook right, if everybody eating that's a night to the lost why I took flight, the hard times made for a good life Being broke made me rich, being made me rich Being broke made me rich, being made me rich
