Broke
Broke but I'ma make it work
Broke but I'm every day at work
Broke but I'm not quitin'
This shit beginnin' has a great future
Broke but I'ma make it work
Broke but I still stay at work
Broke but I'ma fix it
Gettin' rich'll pro'ly make me worse
I was told my life would be fair as my skin is, uhuh
My friends and I looked alike but there was a difference, uhuh
Early I realized comparisons had me diminished, uhuh
Their stable lives weren't like mine but I wasn't finished, uhuh
My parents were kids with kids
Our relationship was different then
Same interests never paid dividends
Watchin' our chances dwindle thin
Born into bills 'n shit
Goin' through what's due just to see what we could skip
Don't answer the door or the phone
Someone might be takin' the home
It got real, real quick
I was too perceptive
I knew the lessons I learned then
Tuned into the stress 'cuz I heard it
Small house, everybody's' rooms to the next and the walls were thin
Caused a work ethic that would not quit
On my own, no wonder how I got it
Dug a hole to get out of one, debt was the only option
Those same fuckin' bills slowin' down my progress
Broke comes in so many forms
You can be broken and not be poor
Didn't answer the collector's call
But it was still hard to ignore it
Broken pieces inside of us all
But it's better now that you know
Don't repeat the mistakes that you saw
Avoid the impulse and use them to grow
Broke but I'ma make it work
Broke but I'm every day at work
Broke but I'm not quitin'
This shit beginnin' has a great future
Broke but I'ma make it work
Broke but I still stay at work
Broke but I'ma fix it
Gettin' rich'll pro'ly make me worse
Never satisfied, always tryin' to get it, uhuh
Another level to climb, winning is the addiction, uhuh
Don't let life pass you by, live every minute, uhuh
One chance to get it right, can't come back if you quit it, uhuh
Learned you can turn nothin' into somethin' 'cuz I've done it
Still tired of ridin' in the bucket, ain't gonna cut it
Get to the front of the line pushin' 'n shovin'
Should be love, but money we covet 'cuz it comes with fun shit
Jay-Z money is GOAT cheese
New hundreds are blue cheese
Make some money then proceed
Schoolin' someone to turn 1 into 3
Judgin' my life by a dime
money on my mind all the time
Try to look at the bigger picture, but all I fuckin' see is the bottom line
Lost my spirit so I drank some
I hate this feelin', I aint numb
Life fucked up so I might as well
This job got my soul like I'm in hell
Sometimes it feels like I'm stuck
Yet another month, they are adding up
I am just stubborn enough
To quit all at once, I do not give a fuck
All that I know
Came from the highs, most came from the lows
Last year being broke
Make it a goal, your money and soul
Broke but I'm every day at work
Broke but I'm not quitin'
This shit beginnin' has a great future
Broke but I'ma make it work
Broke but I still stay at work
Broke but I'ma fix it
Gettin' rich'll pro'ly make me worse
I was told my life would be fair as my skin is, uhuh
My friends and I looked alike but there was a difference, uhuh
