Intro (Autotune / Echo)
Alarm clock screaming, I just woke up broke
Crowd: STILL BROKE!
Forty hours coming, here we go again
Crowd: AMEN!
⸻
Verse 1
Alarm clock ringing, man I hate that sound
Feels like Monday always comes back around
Boots on the floor but my heart says nope
Another long shift just to still be broke
Coffee in my hand, bills in my phone
Trying real hard just to hold my own
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Everybody smiling but we all know why
Half the world just trying to get by
Say a little prayer while I hit the road
Crowd: AMEN!
⸻
Chorus (High Energy)
I don’t wanna go to work ‘cause it makes me real sad
Gotta deal with people and I don’t wanna do that
Crowd: NO WE DON’T!
Forty hours every week and I’m still broke
Laugh it off, yeah I turn it to a joke
Crowd: STILL BROKE!
Bills stack high but I’m doing fine
God give me strength just to keep that grind
Crowd: AMEN!
⸻
Verse 2
Clock on the wall moving way too slow
Boss talking loud but my mind says no
Dreaming ‘bout the day my numbers show
Lottery win and I’m out that door
Walk right in with a smile and grin
Finally say what I’ve held within
“If I hit that jackpot, you already know…”
⸻
Pre-Chorus 2 (Build)
Lord if it’s Your will, let the numbers flow
Crowd: AMEN!
So I can smile and finally say…
⸻
Chorus (Big / Funny)
I don’t wanna go to work ‘cause it makes me real sad
Gotta deal with people and I don’t wanna do that
Crowd: NO WE DON’T!
Forty hours every week and I’m still broke
Laugh it off, yeah I turn it to a joke
Crowd: STILL BROKE!
If I win the lottery, here’s what I’ll say:
“Take this job and shove it — I’m done today!”
Crowd: SHOVE IT!
But till that day I’m doing my time
Praying to God while I’m on that grind
Crowd: AMEN!
⸻
Final Chorus (Festival Energy)
I don’t wanna go to work ‘cause it makes me real sad
Gotta deal with people and I don’t wanna do that
Crowd: NO WE DON’T!
Forty hours every week and I’m still broke
Laugh it off, yeah I turn it to a joke
Crowd: STILL BROKE!
Bills stack high like a mountain to climb
But I keep saying “it’s alright, I’m fine”
Crowd: HE’S FINE!
Yeah we laugh, we work, we barely cope
Pray to the Lord when we feel no hope
Crowd: AMEN!
Working full time and we’re still…
Crowd (Big Chant):
STILL BROKE! STILL BROKE! STILL BROKE! 🎶
——

STILL BROKE! STILL BROKE! STILL BROKE! 🎶
