BmA
Being broke in this thing don't sit right
BmA
Do it for my folk, tryna get by
BmA
I came through the struggle with my head high
BmA
You being broke think you know what it feel like
BmABmA
Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
BmABmA
Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
[Chorus: Lil Perfekt]
Bm
Gotta keep the stove hot so it cook right, if everybody eating that's a good night
Bm
Headed to the lost why I took flight, the hard times made for a good life
BmABmA
Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
BmABmA
Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
[Verse 1: Lecrae]
Bm
Never fell in love with the Coco, Never had to hold up the store with the .44
Bm
Never had the door kicked in by the feds while I'm laying in the bed on the bread that I'm gon' blow
BmG
But I do know what it feel like to go to school with the knock off shoes
BmEm
Eating free lunch, tryna act all cool, boy you better know that we paid our dues
Bm
Never would I trade that, nah, 'cause it made me better, it could have made me bitter
BmA
Can't buy that struggle, can't name no figure, but it made me richer
BmABmA
Being broke made me rich, and being low made you quit
BmABmA
But being low made me high, take time if you want this
[Pre-Chorus: Lil Perfekt]
Bm
Being broke in this thing don't sit right
GA
Do it for my folk, tryna get by
BmA
I came through the struggle with my head high
BmA
You being broke think you know what it feel like
BmABmA
Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
BmABmA
Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
[Chorus: Lil Perfekt]
Bm
Gotta keep the stove hot so it cook right, if everybody eating that's a good night
Bm
Headed to the lost why I took flight, the hard times made for a good life
BmABmA
Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
BmABmA
Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
[Verse 2: Lecrae]
BmG
Money may have made me me richer, but the struggle got me richer than I ever been
EmF#m
Learn to hustle, use ya' muscles, learn to grind and keep ya' mind up on the future, man
BmEm
We came out the trenches, government assistance in the beginning
F#mEm
Keeping cans for the pennies, we saving that grease after dinner
Bm
Now they counting all my pennies, counting all my figures, all up in my business, man
Bm
Now they watching what I'm spending, wonderin' what I got, and wonder how I get it, man
Bm
I was bought before I had a dollar, being empty handed made me stupid rich
Bm
Rich in loyalty, can't pay that lawyer fee, but it's all good
The squad pitchin' it
[Pre-Chorus: Lil Perfekt]
Bm
Being broke in this thing don't sit right
GA
Do it for my folk, tryna get by
BmA
I came through the struggle with my head high
BmA
You being broke think you know what it feel like
BmABmA
Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
BmABmA
Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
[Chorus: Lil Perfekt]
Bm
Gotta keep the stove hot so it cook right, if everybody eating that's a good night
Bm
Headed to the lost why I took flight, the hard times made for a good life
BmABmA
Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
BmABmA
Being broke made me rich, being broke made me rich
