[Pre-Chorus: Lil Perfekt]
BmBeing broke in this thing don't sAit right
BmDo it for my folk, tryna Aget by
BmI came through the struggle with my head Ahigh
BmYou being broke think you know what it feAel like
BmBeing broke made me riAch, beBming broke made me rAich
BmBeing broke made me riAch, beBming broke made me rAich
[Chorus: Lil Perfekt]
BmGotta keep the stove hot so it cook right, if everybody eating that's a good night
BmHeaded to the lost why I took flight, the hard times made for a good life
BmBeing broke made me riAch, beBming broke made me rAich
BmBeing broke made me riAch, beBming broke made me rAich
[Verse 1: Lecrae]
BmNever fell in love with the Coco, Never had to hold up the store with the .44
BmNever had the door kicked in by the feds while I'm laying in the bed on the bread that I'm gon' blow
BmBut I do know what it feel like to go to schGool with the knock off shoes
BmEating free lunch, tryna act all cool, boy you better kEmnow that we paid our dues
BmNever would I trade that, nah, 'cause it made me better, it could have made me bitter
BmCan't buy that struggle, can't name no figure, but it made me rAicher
BmBeing broke made me riAch, anBmd being low made you quAit
BmBut being low made me Ahigh, Bmtake time if you want tAhis
[Pre-Chorus: Lil Perfekt]
BmBeing broke in this thing don't sit right
GDo it for my folk, tryna get bAy
BmI came through the struggle with my heAad high
BmYou being broke think you know what it feAel like
BmBeing broke made me riAch, beBming broke made me rAich
BmBeing broke made me riAch, beBming broke made me rAich
[Chorus: Lil Perfekt]
BmGotta keep the stove hot so it cook right, if everybody eating that's a good night
BmHeaded to the lost why I took flight, the hard times made for a good life
BmBeing broke made me riAch, beBming broke made me rAich
BmBeing broke made me riAch, beBming broke made me rAich
[Verse 2: Lecrae]
BmMoney may have made me me richer, buGt the struggle got me richer than I ever been
EmLearn to hustle, use ya' F#mmuscles, learn to grind and keep ya' mind up on the future, man
BmWe came out the trenches, goverEmnment assistance in the beginning
F#mKeeping cans for the pennies, we Emsaving that grease after dinner
BmNow they counting all my pennies, counting all my figures, all up in my business, man
BmNow they watching what I'm spending, wonderin' what I got, and wonder how I get it, man
BmI was bought before I had a dollar, being empty handed made me stupid rich
BmRich in loyalty, can't pay that lawyer fee, but it's all good
The squad pitchin' it
[Pre-Chorus: Lil Perfekt]
BmBeing broke in this thing don't sit right
GDo it for my folk, tryna get bAy
BmI came through the struggle with my heAad high
BmYou being broke think you know what it feAel like
BmBeing broke made me riAch, beBming broke made me rAich
BmBeing broke made me riAch, beBming broke made me rAich
[Chorus: Lil Perfekt]
BmGotta keep the stove hot so it cook right, if everybody eating that's a good night
BmHeaded to the lost why I took flight, the hard times made for a good life
BmBeing broke made me riAch, beBming broke made me rAich
BmBeing broke made me riAch, beBming broke made me rAich
