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 what it like Being broke me rich, being broke made me rich Being broke me rich, being broke made 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 made for a good life Being made me rich, being broke made me rich Being broke made me rich, broke made me rich
Never fell in love with the Coco, 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 what it feel like to go to school with the knock 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 made me better, it could have made me You can't ride with the struggle, can't no figure, but it made me richer Being broke made me rich, and low made you quit But being low made me high, take if you wanna get it
Being broke in this thing sit right Do it for my folk, get by I came through the with my head high You being broke think you know what it feel 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 eating that's a good night Headed to the why I took flight, the hard times made for a good life Being broke made me rich, being broke me rich Being broke made me rich, being broke made me
Money may have made me richer, but the struggle made me richer than I been Learn the hustle, use ya' muscles, learn to keep ya' up on the future, man out the trenches, government assistance in the beginning Keeping cans for the pennies, we saving grease after dinner Now they counting all my pennies, 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 handed made me stupid rich Rich in loyalty, made in royalty, but so good, that why I mention it
broke in this 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 broke made me rich, being broke me rich Being broke made me rich, 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 hard times made for a good Being broke made me rich, being broke me rich Being broke made me rich, being made me rich
