Being broke in this don't sit right Do it for my folk, get by I came through the struggle with my head You being think you know what it feel like Being broke 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 that's a good night Headed to the lost why I took flight, the hard times made for a good Being broke made me rich, being broke made me broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
Never fell in love 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 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 know that we 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 name no figure, but it me richer Being made me rich, and being low made you quit But being low me high, take time if you wanna get it
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 made me rich, being broke made me rich Being broke me rich, being broke 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 made me rich, being broke made me rich Being made me rich, being broke made 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 keep ya' up on the future, man Came out the trenches, assistance in the beginning Keeping cans for the pennies, we saving that grease 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 how I'ma get it, man I was bought before I had a dollar, being empty handed made me stupid Rich in loyalty, made in royalty, but it's so good, why I mention it
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 think you know what it feel like Being made me rich, being broke made me rich Being broke made me rich, being broke 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 times made for a good Being broke made me rich, being broke me rich Being broke made me rich, broke made me rich
