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
I said being broke made me rich
Being broke made me rich
Being broke made me rich
Being broke made me rich
Yeah yeah never fell in love with the Coco
Never had to hold up the store with the .44
Never had the door kicked in by the feds
While I'm laying in the bed on the bread that I'm gon' blow
Uh 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
Can't buy that struggle, can't name no figure
But it made me richer
Yeah being broke made me rich
And being low made you quit
But being low made me high
Take time if you want this, let's go
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
I said 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
I said being broke made me rich
Being broke made me rich
Being broke made me rich
Being broke made me rich (yeah yeah yeah)
Money may have made me me richer, but the struggle got me richer than I ever been
Learn to hustle, use ya' muscles, learn to grind and keep ya' mind up on the future, man
We came out them 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 get it, man
I was bought before I had a dollar, being empty handed made me stupid rich
Rich in loyalty, can't pay that lawyer fee
But it's all good that's why I pitch it in
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
I said 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
I said being broke made me rich
Being broke made me rich
Being broke made me rich
Being broke made me rich, yeah
