[Intro]
Hand-me-down hoodie
Dust on my shoes
Still counting blessings
Like I can’t lose (hey!)
[Verse 1]
Mama need light bill
Sis need rides
Boss want overtime
Dreams on the side
Pulling these doubles
Heart in the middle
Family on my back
Life on a swivel
They see the rust
They don’t see the grind
They see the bus stop
Never see the drive
Laugh at my pockets
Talk like I’m stuck
I laugh right with ’em
’Cause I know what’s up (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m richer than I look
Can’t fit this in a bank
Got love that never shook
Got hands that never sank
They count my things
I count my people
You can keep your throne
I got my equals
I’m richer than I look
Richer than I look
[Verse 2]
Card in the red
But my table full
Shared last plate
Just to keep us full
They flex chains
All plated and hollow
I pass plates
Make plans they can’t swallow
Pop like, “Help me”
Phone like, “Come through”
I’m torn in two
But I still come through
Tired eyes, tight fist
Still I rise, fight this
If love is the measure
I’m dumb rich
[Chorus]
I’m richer than I look
Can’t fit this in a bank
Got love that never shook
Got hands that never sank
They count my things
I count my people
You can keep your throne
I got my equals
I’m richer than I look
Richer than I look
[Bridge]
Yeah I’m broke on paper
But my soul paid up
Every hug, every favor
That’s real saved up
They say I ain’t much
’Cause I ain’t got stuff
But I die for mine
And that’s rich enough (that’s rich enough)
[Chorus]
I’m richer than I look
Can’t fit this in a bank
Got love that never shook
Got hands that never sank
They count my things
I count my people
You can keep your throne
I got my equals
I’m richer than I look
Richer than I look (oh)
Richer than I look
