[Intro]
So they say go to school,
Get a degree and a job
Tryna keep it together
Why yo life fall
You the one who known for always being strong,
But even strong ones shed some tears alone
All alone
Appreciate beauty in yo home
Life situations hitting home
Had touched some money now it's gone.
[Chorus]
So I do what I can,
I refuse to be broke man
They hoping hoping,
That I'll steer my path
The wrong way and go down
So y'all don't feel my dreams then you will now
Dissect my words, embrace my style
I don't have much to offer up
Except some true words i utter up
It's tough living when you barely getting by.
[Verse]
How I was raised
My family working 9-5's like every day
But man I dream
One day It'll end
Because we always left with no money to spend
Ooohhh ooooohh
So we gotta manage manage
In the lines getting welfare standing
Even though this ain't the life that we chose
So we go to the limits limits,
And we use our senses senses,
To try to make some good out the worse
Got less opportunities when money funny
So everybody think you a joke
But look past my inefficiencies
And see that I'm tryna get dough
I'm coming with desire
Being broke made me reach higher
Man you got a dream then make a reach
I'm not tryna preach
But you got one life to live
Take a chance, go all in
Help a fan and yo fam
[Chorus]
So I do what I can,
I refuse to be broke man
They hoping hoping,
That I'll steer my path
The wrong way and go down
So y'all don't feel my dreams then you will now
Dissect my words, embrace my style
I don't have much to offer up
Except some true words i utter up
It's tough living when you barely getting by.
[Verse]
I try to do no wrong but life sometimes
Is to much so i gotta do some wrong
I'm tryna learn my way
Making this legit money
I tried to get on section 8
And have a place to stay
To call my own
But I'm without and got bills bills bills
Pockets just can't feel
So I gotta grind away
We ain't born to take no chances
Chances
All got minds gotta enhance it
Enhance it
If you believe then you can do it
Yeaa yeaa
Just have ambition when pursuing
Yea yeaa
Cause it take some time
It'll have you going out yo mind,
Know all the struggles just a test,
To be on top gotta invest
Yeaaa
[Chorus]
So I do what I can,
I refuse to be broke man
They hoping hoping,
That I'll steer my path
The wrong way and go down
So y'all don't feel my dreams then you will now
Dissect my words, embrace my style
I don't have much to offer up
Except some true words i utter up
It's tough living when you barely getting by.
[Verse]
I wanna grab y'all thoughts just for a minute
Please pay attention
Know life is hard don't take an early finish
And try to end it
You navigate ya life to make some choices
Actions and voices
Even if you have no one always stay focused
Cause dreams are open
So get on ya feet
Say don't feel bad for me and go
Cause it could end disasterly
Lose them past beliefs and roll
Know personally it could be worse for me
Got a job but lost my car
So I'm not where I'm suppose to be
[Chorus]
So I do what I can,
I refuse to be broke man
They hoping hoping,
That I'll steer my path
The wrong way and go down
So y'all don't feel my dreams then you will now
Dissect my words, embrace my style
I don't have much to offer up
Except some true words i utter up
It's tough living when you barely getting by.
