Being in this thing don't sit right Do it for my folk, get by I came the struggle with my head high You being broke think you know what it like Being broke made me rich, being broke made me Being broke made me rich, being broke made me
Gotta 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 life Being made me rich, being broke made me rich Being made me rich, being broke made me rich
Never fell in love with the Coco, had to hold up a store with the .44 Never had the door 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 off shoes Eating free lunch, act all cool, boy you better know that we paid our dues Never would I trade that, nah, 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 Being broke made me rich, and being low made you But being low me high, take time if you wanna get it
Being broke in 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 broke made me
Gotta keep the stove hot so it cook right, if everybody eating that's a good Headed to the lost why I took flight, the hard times for a good life Being broke made me rich, broke made me rich Being broke made me rich, broke made me rich
Money may have made me richer, but the struggle made me richer than I been Learn the hustle, use ya' muscles, learn to ya' mind up on the future, man Came out the trenches, assistance in the beginning Keeping cans for the pennies, we saving that grease dinner Now they all my pennies, counting all my figures, all up in my business, man Now they watching what I'm spending, wonderin' I got, and wonder how I'ma get it, man I was bought before I had a dollar, being empty made 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 being think you know what it feel like Being broke made me rich, being broke me rich Being made me rich, being broke made me rich
Gotta keep the stove hot so it right, if everybody eating that's 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 made me Being broke made me rich, broke made me rich
