Broke On Both Sides

Stomach on empty

Phone full of debt

Smiling in selfies

Heart full of regret (yeah)

Woke up to overdraft

Dreams in the minus again

Landlord calling me daily

Saved as “Don’t Answer” in my friends

Mama keep praying in silence

Acting like I don’t see

She tearing coupons at midnight

So my little bro can eat

I’ve been broke in my pockets

And broke in my pride

Friends flex paper on stories

Can’t look ’em in the eye

Scroll through a world made of diamonds

Holding this cracked-screen life

Thinking ’bout selling my morals

Same way they selling advice

I’ve been broken, broke on both sides

Pocket change, heart change, nothing feels right

Chasing life, but it’s running from me

Every step cost, man, they charging a fee

I’ve been broken, broke on both sides

Pray for a break, all I get is more fights

If money talk, then it’s laughing at me

But I swear I ain’t folding, I bleed till I’m free (till I’m free)

Job got me clocking my soul out

Ten hours, short on my pay

Boss say “you part of the family”

Can’t spell my last name

Homie got rich off a shortcut

Now he can’t sleep in the dark

He bought some gold for his fingers

Still can’t buy peace for his heart

They say “chase the bag, you’ll be happy”

Funny how empty that sound

’Cause if cash is the key to the castle

Why so many kings feel drowned?

I want more than a balance

I want days I don’t hate

Want to feed everybody at my table

Plus leave something on the plate (yeah)

I’ve been broken, broke on both sides

Pocket change, heart change, nothing feels right

Chasing life, but it’s running from me

Every step cost, man, they charging a fee

I’ve been broken, broke on both sides

Pray for a break, all I get is more fights

If money talk, then it’s laughing at me

But I swear I ain’t folding, I bleed till I’m free

What’s the price of a smile?

What’s the fee for some rest?

If I pay with my spirit

Do they cancel my debt?

If the world love the winners

Tell me, where do I sit?

’Cause I’m broke, but I’m breathing

Ain’t done fighting yet (nah)

I’ve been broken, broke on both sides

Pocket change, heart change, nothing feels right

Chasing life, but it’s running from me

Every step cost, man, they charging a fee

I’ve been broken, broke on both sides

Pray for a break, all I get is more fights

If money talk, then it’s laughing at me

But I swear I ain’t folding, I bleed till I’m free (yeah)
