lyrics

Broke
LYRICS BY DEACON BURNS

Chorus
Break yourself fool
Even if i gotta pull A tool gonna make it move
I ain't got nothing to lose
Just another nigga late paying the rent
Pocket full of lent
Break yourself fool
Even if i gotta pull A tool gonna make it move
I ain't got nothing to lose
Just another nigga late paying the rent
Pocket full of lent

Verse 1
I'm a walking roman candle wit a wick as short as my patience
Slowly running out of options
Fuck the consequences i gotta have it even if i gotta kill for it
Tired of this broke shit
Living from bounced check to bounced check
When ya trapped like rats in the projects a slow death
And you wonder why a nigga stay depressed
When you share an apartment wit roaches it's hard to focus
Everyday i see my mama struggling
Now it's time i got's to do something
Ghost write rhymes but i can't get signed
Make dope beats but A&R's still sleep
So now i'm walking the street packing the heat serving D
Nigga gotta eat nothings for free
My mama taught me well she said prissy bitches gotta sit to Shit just like me give me the money

Chorus
Break yourself fool
Even if i gotta pull A tool gonna make it move
I ain't got nothing to lose
Just another nigga late paying the rent
Pocket full of lent

Verse 2
You got guns wit no loot what you gonna do
Grab the burner rob these ballers for there dollars
Empty them pockets hand over the paper the pager the Powder cooperate nigga or meet your maker
Any resistance will resort to repercussions and consequences
Motherfucker this is serious business
Like every single EPMD album title the ghetto made me a criminal
And money made me evil
Like a plane wreck over a field of people buried from the neck Down bitch get down this is a stick up shut up throw them hands up give that money up before you get fucked up
Get on your knees open up and bleed broke niggas gotta steal
To feed the world is under siege nobody leaves break yourself
Fool show me the money
Break your self fool

Chorus
Break yourself fool
Even if i gotta pull A tool gonna make it move
I ain't got nothing to lose
Just another nigga late paying the rent
Pocket full of lent
Break yourself fool
Even if i gotta pull A tool gonna make it move
I ain't got nothing to lose
Just another nigga late paying the rent
Pocket full of lent
Break yourself fool
Even if i gotta pull A tool gonna make it move
I ain't got nothing to lose
Break yourself fool
Break yourself fool
Break yourself fool
