Man I'm so broke it ain't a joke
Some people got rims I got spokes
I'm working with change
they got notes
And I don't know how much
longer I can cope
I'm about to fall over the edge
I'm in deep way over my head
When I get ten pounds
I make it spread
'cause that gyro check ain't
hardly no bread
When your broke like us
you don't joke much
Only window shop,
look don't touch
Ask the price of stuff
then say how much
Nah wait there how much?
[Bridge]
How long would you last
Without no cash
In this fast moving world
Could you really survive,
all the problems within
[Chorus]
Better get moving if you want
that, bread is there for the taking
Better get your share
Monies for making, what I'm
saying, if you're sleeping
you ain't eating
How you goin to cope if you don't stack those notes you need to learn
to be a pioneer you can find a
way to make it through the day
Another day, another red letter
From some debt collector
Over something I've done,
got in debt for
Coming over my house to
apply the pressure
Yelling through the letter box
"One day we gon' getcha!"
Acting like I ain't home
Till they're gone
Everybody I know's broke
I can't get a loan
I'm trying not to loose focus
Buts it's hopeless
I get served an eviction notice
And the landlord wants
me out on my ear
Gave me ten days to pay
or i'm outta here
I really need to clear up my arrears
Before I end up, sleeping
in a park somewhere
[Bridge]
How long would you last
Without no cash
In this fast moving world
Could you really survive,
all the problems within
[Chorus]
Better get moving if you want
that, bread is there for the taking
Better get your share
Monies for making, what I'm
saying, if you're sleeping
you ain't eating
How you goin to cope if you don't stack those notes you need to learn
to be a pioneer you can find a way to make it through the day
I know suffering I fell your pain
It's hard to keep the
cheddar coming in
want to survive, then you've
gotta stay hustling?
Struggling chasing the doe
Just keep stacking that paper
and making it grow
But I find it hard for me to cope
Even when I'm paid
I'm always broke
I got more going out than
I've got coming in
Can't buy certain things
no bling bling
No 20" rims spinning, just
a sinking feeling
No this can't be living I
need at least a million
