Being broke in this thing sit right Do it for my folk, get by I came through the struggle with my high You being think you know what it feel like Being broke made me rich, broke made me rich Being made 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 times made for a good life Being broke me rich, being broke made me rich Being broke me rich, being broke made me rich
Never 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 feel like to go to school the knock off shoes Eating free lunch, tryna act all cool, boy you know that we paid our dues Never would I trade that, nah, 'cause it made me better, it could have made me You can't ride with the struggle, name no figure, but it made me richer Being broke me rich, and being low made you quit 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 through the struggle with my head high You being broke think you know what it feel 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 times made for a good life Being broke me rich, being broke made me rich broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
Money may have me richer, but the struggle made me richer than I ever been Learn the hustle, use ya' muscles, learn to ya' mind up on the future, man out the trenches, government assistance in the beginning Keeping for the pennies, we saving that 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 empty handed me stupid rich in loyalty, made in royalty, but it's so good, that why I mention it
Being in this thing don't sit right Do it for my folk, get by I came the struggle with my head high You broke think you know what it feel like Being broke me rich, being broke made me rich Being broke made me rich, being broke me rich
Gotta keep the stove hot so it cook right, if everybody eating a good night to the lost 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, broke made me rich
