Broke

[Verse 1]
I been gettin to the mo- shhhhhh nigga don’t make a peep
Lord knows ya pockets lower than the challenger deep
I’m stressing until I’m reckless and I’m losin my sleep
So I’m herdin all these problems while y’all countin ya sheep
Now I’m, siftin a heap of clothes to see what to keep
And what to sell or return if I can find a receipt
Anything to find some means of in-come
And shift the paradigm, and start swinging the pendelum
Cause Ive fell victim
To sloth that’s a broke nigga symptom
Im hopin it don’t turn to a syndrome
Now Im fightin incredible highs, incredible lows
I need a girl that’s stretchable to help me reach my goals
And it, it takes a toll on my mental
So I go resort to the pad and the pencil
And scribble out some words while I play instrumentals
But lack of funds hinders me from reachin potential
Potential that I, might just have, or I could grasp
If I had, some dollars just a bit more cash
Whipping Postmates, hopin I could save my stash
I shoulda did Uber eats or at least DoorDash damn

[Chorus]
Oh nooooo
I been tryna scrape that cash, no joke
I been tryna get that bag, I ain’t close
How you spose to make shit last when you broke?
Yeah, when you broke.. (somebody pay this nigga!)
He broke ( lookin for wages nigga!) he broke
Somebody save this nigga, pave a way my nigga, for the day this nigga ain’t broke

[Verse 2]
And CUT! Let’s take 5
This nigga outta gas? Put 5 on tank 5
So he can drive his ‘05 TL down 85
His AC broken, so he sweatin when he arrive
Stress overheating, forewarning ya, be advised
My current state is far from the picture I visualized
Weekend nights, it’s only right that I step out
Then I check my balance, then I pout and stay inside
Cause I ain’t got the time or the money for Uber rides
Or to drop 10 at the bar for Corona limes
Or to buy shots for a shorty I’ve never met
Or to buy food truck subs when it’s closing time
I don’t have a dime to be entertaining dimes
Til they heads big, and they lookin like Coraline
I see thru the shit, can’t peel me like clementines
I don’t bite the fruit, when the hoes get serpentine
Know you tryna milk me for some bread That I don’t have
Then skrt off to the corner wit your girls to have a laugh
Lookin in my wallet at a five and single bills
Like ahhhh hell man I probably needed that... can I have it back?

[Chorus]
Oh nooooo
I been tryna scrape that cash, no joke
I been tryna get that bag, I ain’t close
How you spose to make shit last when you broke?
Yeah, when you broke.. (somebody pay this nigga!)
He broke ( lookin for wages nigga!) he broke
Somebody save this nigga, pave a way my nigga, for the day this nigga ain’t broke

[Outro]
See let me tell y’all why I can’t fuck with these broke ass niggas girl
Why I went out with a poor ass nigga the other day and this nigga gone order a goddamn water and a damn, little baby ass appetizer and I’m sittin over here like who the fuck is this finna fill up? Not me, so I know it damn sure ain’t finna fill yo ass up and I know you hungry. That shit ain’t cutting it. Broke ass nigga
