Never fell in with the Coco, Never had to hold up a store with the .44 Never had the door kicked in by the feds, in the bed with the bread that I'm gon' blow But I do know it feel like to go to school with the knock off shoes Eating free lunch, tryna act all cool, boy you know that we paid our dues Never would I trade that, nah, 'cause it me better, it could have made me bitter You can't ride with the struggle, can't name no figure, but it me richer broke made me rich, and being low made you quit But being low made me high, time if you wanna get it

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