Broke, Not Broken

[Intro]
Yeah, yo, uh
'Broke Not Broken'
Yo, yeah, uh

[Verse 1]
Livin' off of food stamps ain't nothin' what you heard
We used to be on government aid but government raised
They stakes like T-Bo's name before fame
We boutta make a killing 'cause there's maggots on the table
I remember months where I ain't never had no cable
'Cause the network shut it off with the electric heating
Eating food without labels, livin' life felt like a fable
When I really reminisce, it reminds me to feel grateful
Damn, I'm on a mission, livin' life ain't what it seems
When you followin' a dream, motherfuckers finna need
To intervene up on my real shit, so find a time
For me to deal shit so I can make a living
Livin' nine-to-five's a given if I can't make shit for spittin'
Motherfuckers and they cronies, I'm Apollo and they system
Never followin' a sister, finna do this on my own
Mother fuck a record deal, I'm independent, now I'm gone
