"Being broke in this thing don't sit right
Do it for my folk, tryna get by
I came through the struggle with my head high
You being broke think you know what it feel like
Being broke made me rich
Being broke made me rich
.......
.......
Gotta keep the stove hot so it cook right
If everybody eating that's a good night
Headed to the lost why I took flight
The hard times made for a good life."
Lecrae must have found himself in such situation in which giving up wasnt an option in order to survive. The song is sending a messaging that money doesnt make you who you are but the hustle does.
