Tired of Being Broke Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Uh, I'm only half woke
Walking outside full of cigarette smoke
Want to get food but a nigga so broke
At times I be feeling like a homeless folk
It's so hard trying to make it on my own
I want to stay a child, I don't be grown
Even though it's good that I'm far away from home
Deep down inside I be feeling all alone
Damn this bills, damn these loans
So stressed out what the hell is going on
Feels like I've been in this hole so long
And when things right, something gotta go wrong
Man I can't until the music thing pop
Feeling like Puff so you know I won't stop
Meanwhile dad telling me to get a job
But that ain't enough cause...

[Hook]
I'm tired of being broke
I ain't got no money

Things don't seem real sunny
This feeling right here ain't funny
I'm tired of being broke
I want something thats better
That's why I'm a go getter
Cause I'm so sick and fed up
Cause I'm tired of being broke
[Verse 2]
Kind of hard tryna' keep yourself alive
When you slaving like dog while you work that 9 to 5
Every person that you know wants the power and the cream
But all we got got now is the the dollar and a dream
You want to get rich so you falling for a scheme
And then you realize everything ain't what it seem
Part of the blame is the money that we spend
On things that we want but don't need in the end
But I'm not going to get into that
I'm just trying to get my head straight and just relax
Getting paper is a must so I got to stay grinding
I'm a young man, ain't no time for for no crying
Just got to figure out whats next
On this road to to success
But right now I'm living in a world where the government is a joke
And I don't know what to do cause...

[Hook]

[Bridge]
This is for the hood, the misunderstood
This is for the ones who dream of living good
This the motivation and the confirmation
So say it loud, yeah we gonna make it (repeat)
[Hook]
