Being broke in this don't sit right Do it for my folk, get by I came through the struggle my head high You being think you know what it feel like Being broke made me rich, being broke me rich broke made me rich, being 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 times made for a good life Being broke made me rich, broke made me rich Being broke made me rich, being made me rich
Never fell in love with the Coco, Never had to 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 like to go to school with the knock off shoes Eating free lunch, act all cool, boy you better know that we paid our dues Never would I that, nah, 'cause it made me better, it could have made me bitter You can't ride with the struggle, can't name no figure, but it made me Being broke made me rich, and being low made you But being low made me high, 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 struggle my head high You being broke think you know what it like broke 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 that's a good night Headed to the lost why I took flight, the hard made for a good life Being made me rich, being broke made me rich Being broke made me rich, 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, to keep ya' mind up on the future, man Came out the trenches, government in the beginning Keeping for the pennies, we saving that grease after dinner Now counting all my pennies, counting all my figures, all up in my business, man Now they watching what I'm spending, 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 thing 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 made me rich, being broke made me rich Being broke made me rich, being made me rich
Gotta keep the stove hot so it right, if everybody eating that's a good night Headed to the lost why I took flight, the hard made for a good life Being broke made me rich, broke made me rich Being broke me rich, being broke made me rich
