Intro (auto-tuned hums, layered)

Mmm-mmm-mmm, yeah

Ooooh, ooooh

Broke boy… yeah

Hook (VERY melodic, stretched notes)

Liiife of a brooooke boyyy, oooh yeah

Pockeets on Eeee, but my dreeeams stay looooaded

Cold niiiights, looone rooooads, oooh

Starin’ at the sky hopin’ I get nooooticed

Liiife of a brooooke boyyy, oooh yeah

No cha-aaange, but my faaaiiith stay rooooaded

They don’t heeear the paaaain in my voiiice

I’m a broke boy now… but I knooow I’m chosen

(Ad-libs: yeahhh, oooh, hold on, don’t let go)

Verse 1 (sing-rap, drenched in auto-tune)

Woke uuup, phone liiit, bills callin’ my naaame

I swipe dooown, heart siiinks, still smile through the paaaain

Same shoeees, same roooute, city know my faaaace

But I see a staadium when I’m stuck in this plaaaace

Mama say “praaaay,” so I taaaalk to the ceiiiling

Ask God if He hear me when I’m barely beleeiiivin’

I been loooow so loooong it feel noooormal to faaaall

But I still see my naaaame on the waaalls

Liiife of a brooooke boyyy, oooh yeah

Pockeets on Eeee, but my dreeeams stay looooaded

Cold niiiights, looone rooooads, oooh

Starin’ at the sky hopin’ I get nooooticed

Liiife of a brooooke boyyy, oooh yeah

No cha-aaange, but my faaaiiith stay rooooaded

They don’t heeear the paaaain in my voiiice

I’m a broke boy now… but I knooow I’m chosen

Verse 2 (half-sung, floaty)

I been countin’ looosses, not the caaaash

Still smiiile when they aask “how you laaast?”

Everybody flex like they neeeever feeeell

But I knooow that daaaark, yeah I liiived that heeell

If I maaake it, I’m bringin’ my whooole block

If I faaaall, I’ma stiiill get uuup strong

Broke don’t meeean I’m weak in my heeaaart

It just meeean I’m staaarvin’ to staart

Bridge (emotional, almost crying tone)

Oooh, dooon’t let me gooo

Final Hook (max auto-tune, choir feel)

Liiife of a brooooke boyyy, oooh yeah

Pockeets on Eeee, but my dreeeams stay looooaded

Cold niiiights, looone rooooads, oooh

Starin’ at the sky hopin’ I get nooooticed

Liiife of a brooooke boyyy, oooh yeah

I’m a broke boy now… but I knooow I’m chosen
