Been Broke Before

[Intro]

Know what I'm sayin'

2 Chainz and that boy Wayne in here

You know, dream big go hard nigga you know

Fuck I came to do

[Verse 1]

Yeah, look, I did Collegrove

If I drop an album, already sold, yeah

Look, I swear I'll never sell my soul

I make them feel it in a nigga's soul

Look, okay you nigga still tryna go gold

Swear I ain't ever goin' gold

Only thing gold is my wrist and my neck and my load

And the safe but, you'll never crack the code

At the clear port, waitin' on the jet to unload

Waitin' on the next nigga to fold

From the project to the pro

Only thing bitch about the nigga, is my motherfuckin' hoe

I just bought my BM a new mink coat

Gave her the petite that I needed a link for

Whole lot of paper like we workin' at Kinko

And we used to be broke, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

Struggling

I ain't even have nothing

Turned nothing into something

Back in the day we were thugging

I remember we ain't have nothing

I remember we were hustling

I remember we were struggling

We was always up to something, yeah

[Chorus]

Damn, I've been broke before

I said damn, I've been broke before, yeah

I don't know if you've ever been broke before

Have you ever been broke before? Yeah

Damn, we were broke before

Can't believe we were broke before, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh-huh

[Verse 2]

Uh, big bottle full of champagne

100 bottles we don't even drink, yeah

Look how far a young nigga came

Look how far a young nigga came, yeah

Bit down know you smell the campaign

Bit called lil' boy but I got some damn weight

Pull up in the down tank, make me go rampage

Jimmy Choo, we don't shop at Champs, man

Cartier all, I'm official

All of my dawgs, they official

All of my dawg got, all of my dawg we will kill here

Why play play with us when we all like Hitler?

Uh, two time for them real ones

And to them fake nigga, fuck 'em all, we don't feel 'em

And to whoever wanna get involved, we don't fear nothin', yeah

One call everybody gone kill somethin'

I remember days in the trey as a little one

Runnin' round with TJ, tryna pierce somethin'

Now we run into the jet, yeah, the lil' one

100K on my neck, yeah, the real one

That Audemar Piguet, I'm Bobby Boucher

I'm with my goon today, so what will you say?

200 grand walkin' through TSA

You wouldn't believe where a nigga used to stay

[Pre-Chorus]

Struggling

I ain't even have nothing

Turned nothing into something

Back in the day we were thugging

I remember we ain't have nothing

I remember we were hustling

I remember we were struggling

We was always up to something, yeah

[Chorus]

Damn, I've been broke before

I said damn, I've been broke before, yeah

I don't know if you've ever been broke before

Have you ever been broke before? Yeah

Damn, we were broke before

Can't believe we were broke before, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh-huh
