Being broke in this thing don't sit right
Do it for my folk, tryna get by
I came through the struggle with my head high
You being broke think you know what it feel like
Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
Gotta 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 life
Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
Never 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 that I'm gon' blow
But I do know 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 dues
Never would I trade 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 richer
Being broke made me rich, and being low made you quit
But being low made me high, take time if you wanna get it
Being broke in this thing don't sit right
Do it for my folk, tryna get by
I came through the struggle with my head high
You being broke think you know what it feel like
Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
Gotta keep the stove hot so it cook right, if everybody eating that's a good night
Headed to the lost is why I took flight, the hard times made for a good life
Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
Money may have made me me richer, but the struggle made me richer than I ever been
Learn the hustle, use ya' muscles, learn to keep ya' mind up on the future, man
Came out the trenches, government assistance in the beginning
Keeping cans for the pennies, we saving that grease after dinner
Now they counting all my pennies, counting all my figures, all up in my business, man
Now they watching what I'm spending, wonderin' 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 rich
Rich in loyalty, made in royalty, but it's so good, that why I mention it
Being broke in this thing don't sit right
Do it for my folk, tryna get by
I came through the struggle with my head high
You being broke think you know what it feel like
Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
Gotta keep the stove hot so it cook right, if everybody eating that's a good night
Headed to the lost is why I took flight, the hard times made for a good life
Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
