I'm Broke
Oh! I'm broke, I'm not dope
This is not a joke
It feels like a stroke
I am always feeling dizzy
I have no time to be busy
I don't know why this is happening to me
There's no one to choose me
They're not scared to lose me
They think I'm stingy
Being broke is not funny
Everyone needs money
I'm not in a good condition
I have no connection
It feels like a destruction
I need a solution
I need to overcome this situation
I'm not heartless, yes it's not right
I'm in darkness, yes I need light
This is getting worse, since Twenty-Twenty
My pockets are always empty
I'm different from many
God, help me through this journey
Oh! I'm carrying a heavy load
I'm always feeling cold
I don't even have the money to pay rent
I'm just living without a cent
I know this is so strange
I wish one-day things can change
I also need to have a better home
God lead me to a comfort zone
Oh lord, check my banks
Later on, I'll say thanks.
