[Intro]
Yeah…
I remember when I had to make a little stretch,
Had some days when all I had was faith left.
So when I say I don’t do broke, understand—
I ain’t judging where you’re at,
I’m talking ’bout refusing to stay there.
[Verse 1]
I done came from days when the struggle got real,
Still got up every morning, handled business, paid bills.
Had mouths to feed, had a life to rebuild,
Had to learn the difference between a want and a need.
I don’t need a rich man coming to rescue me,
I need grown-man effort standing next to me.
I work for mine, put my faith over fear,
Built peace in my life—I protect it over here.
I know what it’s like when the money gets low,
But broke ain’t a season, it’s refusing to grow.
You can start with nothing and still have a plan,
Because wealth starts inside before it hits your hand.
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not going backwards, I fought for this life,
Turned hard days into lessons, turned pain into light.
God gave me another chance, I’m using it right,
So anything draining me ain’t getting my time.
[Chorus]
I don’t do broke—
Broke dreams, broke promises, broke energy.
I don’t do broke—
No ambition, no direction ain’t matching me.
I came too far, worked too hard,
God brought me through and I know who I am.
I don’t need you rich, but bring something to the table—
Faith, love, effort, and a solid plan.
[Verse 2]
Independent, but I still know how to receive,
I just won’t confuse being loved with being in need.
I’ve carried enough, I ain’t carrying a grown man,
We can build it together, but you gotta have a plan.
And I’m not talking labels, diamonds, cars or clothes,
Because you can have money and still have a broke soul.
Give me character, consistency, somebody who grows,
Someone who prays with me when nobody else knows.
I raised mine through storms they never saw coming,
Made something out of days when I started with nothing.
I know how to stretch it, save it, make it work,
But I learned my peace and my value come first.
[Bridge]
I’ve been broke before—
Broke down, brokehearted, barely holding on.
But I learned broke can be temporary
When your faith stays strong.
Now I’m richer in wisdom,
Richer in peace,
Richer in purpose,
And finally free.
So no, I don’t hate people struggling—
I know that road too well.
I just refuse to build a home
In a place God helped me leave.
[Final Chorus]
I don’t do broke—
Broke dreams, broke promises, broke energy.
I don’t do broke—
No ambition, no direction ain’t matching me.
I came too far, worked too hard,
God brought me through and I know who I am.
I don’t need you rich, but bring something to the table—
Faith, love, effort, and a solid plan.
[Outro]
I don’t need perfect.
I need purpose.
I don’t need flashy.
I need faithful.
I don’t need somebody to finance my life—
I need somebody who knows how to build one.
Because I remember being broke…
I just don’t live there anymore.
