Money may have made me richer, but the struggle made me than I ever been Learn the hustle, use ya' muscles, to keep ya' mind up on the future, man out the trenches, government assistance in the beginning Keeping cans for the pennies, we saving that after dinner Now counting all my pennies, counting all my figures, all up in my business, man Now they watching what I'm spending, what I got, and wonder how I'ma get it, man I was bought before I had a dollar, being empty handed made me rich in loyalty, made in royalty, but it's so good, that why I mention 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 you know what it feel like Being broke made me rich, broke made me rich broke made 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 times made for a good life Being broke made me rich, being broke me rich Being broke made me rich, being broke made me
