Being broke in this don't sit right Do it for my folk, get by I through the struggle 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
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 made me rich, being broke made me rich Being broke made me rich, being broke made me
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, Laying in the bed with the bread I'm gon' blow But I do know what it like to go to school with the knock off shoes 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 low made me high, take time if you wanna get it

Money may made me richer, but the struggle made me richer than I ever been the hustle, use ya' muscles, learn to keep ya' mind up on the future, man Came out the trenches, government assistance in the Keeping cans for the pennies, we saving grease after dinner Now they all my pennies, counting all my figures, all up in my business, man Now they watching I'm spending, wonderin' what I got, and wonder how I'ma get it, man I was bought before I had a dollar, empty handed made me stupid rich Rich in loyalty, 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 came through the struggle with my head You being broke you know what it feel like Being broke made me rich, being broke made me Being broke made me rich, being broke 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 made for a life Being broke made me rich, being broke made me Being broke me rich, being broke made me rich
