[Intro: Brian Brown]
Yo, being broke is really shitty but...
It is what it is
[Verse 1: Brian Brown]
I woke up this morning, praises to the Most High
But then I realized I had to work my 9 to 5
No, I'm not complaining, I’m quite thankful for everything I've been given
But I just gotta be honest, this ain't the life that I pictured living
Now I know that I dropped out for this rap shit
And I knew that was gon’ be a big risk
But if I knew then what I know now
I probably would've done a lot of shit different
But looking at it now, it ain't too bad
Everything feel like it's on the up and up
But every day somebody wanna tell me how to live and I'm thinking my nigga, shut the fuck up
And then, where I work - rolling burritos on the daily
Every time I walk in that hoe, I just wanna scream "Nigga fuck you, pay me"
And the baddest broads be walking in and I'm thinking "Is kidding me?"
Can't spit no game to a dame when I tell 'em they Order 683
[Pre-Chorus: Brian Brown]
But this the life that I’ve chosen and this the life I’m pursuing
And I just gotta keep it moving until that day I start a movement
And all my niggas is paid, man I can't wait for that day
But right now I’m broke as fuck, so Ima need for all y'all to say...
[Chorus: Brian Brown]
That this The Dollar Menu Ballad, throw your ones up in the air
They going right back in our pocket though so we don't really care
To all my niggas out there struggling, I gotta let you know
Being broke ain't a joke but you gotta keep the hope
This The Dollar Menu Ballad, throw your ones up in the air
They going right back in our pocket though so we don’t really care
To all my niggas out there struggling, I gotta let you know
Being broke ain't a joke but you gotta keep the hope
[Verse 2: Brian Brown]
Working, grinding, dreaming, scheming
Known as Journey, don't stop believing
Gotta see it, top spot, gotta be it
Track a mission, all of the team, I can't let nobody beat us
All day I dream about success and I don't even own a fucking pair of Adidas
But nigga fuck all the bullshit, you know me man I gotta get to it
I'm so focused, I gotta get the W's
At the same time trying not to lose it
Ever since I was 10, this is all I wanted
Traded in homework for the hooks and the rhymes
While niggas I know move X and O's like Madden audibles
But a nigga like me never had the time
I was dreaming 'bout Lamborghinis and fine women and lavish living
I can't lie, I'm far from it but one of these days I'm gonna get it
That minimum wage not cutting it dog
You feel how I feel then you fuck with me dog
Naysayers and all the doubters, you made me greater but fuck all of y'all
Look, I'm too close
I came too far to turn back now
I got my fam through thick and thin
I'm the whole spine so I can't back down
Believe me when I say this nigga
I promise you I'm gon' make it nigga
Nothing less than fucking greatness nigga
Now fuck you and gonna pay me, nigga
Nah for real, pay me, nigga
[Chorus: Brian Brown]
This The Dollar Menu Ballad, throw your ones up in the air
They going right back in our pocket though so we don't really care
To all my niggas out there struggling, I gotta let you know
Being broke ain't a joke but you gotta keep the hope
[Outro: Brian Brown]
This is the 7:22 shit
I had a freestyle but (laughter)
Said all my niggas out there struggling, I gotta let you know
Being broke ain't a joke but you gotta keep the hope nigga
