[Pre-Chorus: Perfekt]

Being broke in this thing don't sit right

Do it for my folks, trying to get by

Came through the struggle with my head high

Been broke, then you know what it feel like

I said being broke made me rich

Being broke made me rich

Being broke made me rich

Being broke made me rich, yeah

[Chorus: Perfekt]

Gotta keep the stove hot so it cook right

If everybody eating that's a good night

Had to take a loss 'fore I took flight

Hard times made for a good life

I said being broke made me rich

Being broke made me rich

Being broke made me rich

Being broke made me rich

[Verse 1: Lecrae]

Yeah, yeah, never fell in love with the coco, never had to hold up the store with a .44

Never had the door kicked in by the feds while I'm laying in the bed on the bread that I'm gon' blow (woop!), uh

But I do know what it feel like to go to school with the knock off shoes

Eating free lunch trying to act all cool

Boy, you better know that we paid our dues

Never would I trade that (no!), 'cause it made me better

Could've made me bitter

Can't buy that struggle, can't name no figure

But it made me richer

Yeah, being broke made me rich

And being low made you quit

But being low made me high

Take time if you want this, let's go!

[Pre-Chorus: Perfekt]

Being broke in this thing don't sit right

Do it for my folks, trying to get by

Came through the struggle with my head high

Been broke, then you know what it feel like

I said being broke made me rich

Being broke made me rich

Being broke made me rich

Being broke made me rich, yeah

[Chorus: Perfekt]

Gotta keep the stove hot so it cook right

If everybody eating that's a good night

Had to take a loss 'fore I took flight

Hard times made for a good life

I said being broke made me rich

Being broke made me rich

Being broke made me rich

Being broke made me rich

[Verse 2: Lecrae]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Money may have made me richer, but the struggle got me richer than I ever been

Learn to hustle, use your muscle, learn to grind, and keep your mind up on the future, man

We came out them trenches

Government assistance in the beginning

Keep them cans for the pennies

We saving that grease after dinner

Now they counting all my pennies, counting all my figures, all up in my business, man

Now they watching what I'm spending, wondering what I got, and wondering how I get it, man

I was bought before I had a dollar, being empty-handed made me stupid rich

Rich in loyalty, can't pay the lawyer fee, but it's all good, the squad pitching in

[Pre-Chorus: Perfekt]

Being broke in this thing don't sit right

Do it for my folks, trying to get by

Came through the struggle with my head high

Been broke, then you know what it feel like

I said being broke made me rich

Being broke made me rich

Being broke made me rich

Being broke made me rich, yeah

[Chorus: Perfekt]

Gotta keep the stove hot so it cook right

If everybody eating that's a good night

Had to take a loss 'fore I took flight

Hard times made for a good life

I said being broke made me rich

Being broke made me rich

Being broke made me rich

Being broke made me rich, yeah
