Never fell in love with the Coco, Never had to hold up a 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 know we paid our dues Never would I trade that, nah, 'cause it made me better, it could made me bitter You can't with the struggle, can't name no figure, but it made me richer Being broke made me rich, and being low you quit But being low made me high, take 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 in the beginning Keeping cans for the pennies, we saving that grease after Now they 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 get it, man I was bought before I had a dollar, empty handed made me stupid rich Rich in loyalty, made in royalty, but it's so good, why I mention it
Being broke in thing don't sit right Do it for my folk, get by I came through the struggle with my head You being broke think you know what it feel Being made me rich, being broke made me rich Being broke me rich, being broke made me rich
Gotta keep the stove hot so it cook right, if everybody eating that's a night Headed to the lost why I took flight, the hard times made for a life Being made me rich, being broke made me rich broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
