Never fell in love with the Coco, had to hold up a store with the .44 Never had the door kicked in by the feds, Laying in the bed the bread that I'm gon' blow But I do know what it feel like to go to school the knock off shoes Eating lunch, tryna act all cool, boy you better know that we paid our dues Never would I trade that, nah, 'cause it made me better, it have 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 time if you get it

Money may have made me richer, but the struggle made me than I ever been Learn the hustle, use ya' muscles, learn to ya' mind up on the future, man Came out the trenches, government in the beginning Keeping cans for the pennies, we saving grease after dinner Now counting 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 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 through the struggle with my head high You being broke think you know what it like Being broke made me rich, being made me rich Being broke made me rich, being broke me rich
Gotta keep the stove hot so it cook right, if everybody eating a good night Headed to the why I took flight, the hard times made for a good life Being broke made me rich, being broke me rich Being broke made me rich, being broke me rich
