Yes, yes
You don't even understand me
What I'm going through right now
In my lifetime
Yep, yep
Joey the-
Hey, hey
Yeah, yeah
Yo, yo
I need money but not just for me but for the fam
If I don't bring home the bacon, y'all say I ain't the man
Jehovah Jireh, he's the great I am
And I've been praying and believing for three hundred grand
I'm great with the pen but I suck with the plan
My money running out like some cheating husband
I'm so broke and dope, I'm a great has been
I'm a crying man trying to find fifteen cents
You could be as good as the best of them or as bad as the worst
You could be bronze and broke or platinum and still thirst
You could be perceived as successful with a penny and brains
Signing your name for your fans without a penny to your name
You know how I know? That's where I stay every day
Don't know whether to sit, stand or run away
Should I pray, put my gun away or get thugged out?
Jesus or geez up, these thoughts got me bugged out
Now here we go again, the usual predicament
No means to an end, the debt, I can't get rid of it
A money song again, can't you pick a different subject?
When it comes to being broke, it's the usual suspects
Now here we go again, the usual predicament
No means to an end, the debt, I can't get rid of it
A money song again, can't you pick a different subject?
When it comes to being broke, it's the usual s-
I can't borrow a dollar without paying back seven
I'm worth more dead than alive 'cause at least I'm in heaven
And everything you hear about in songs I don't possess
'Cause truth rests in my chest and won't let me invest
In anything counterfeit, contrived or pretentious
Or happens to jive with this world's consensus
I'm an odd man out, trying to break even
Stuck in the negative or positive believing
Chasing the almighty dollar sign, still way far behind
Stay in the house, cash flow affect my hang time
Exchange rhyme with customers, getting CD signed
A signature will cost you a hundred dimes
One for the mind, how 'bout one for my pocket?
One hundred grand crammed hard in my wallet
Any form of wealth it seems I just don't got it
Never have so I guess that I can just do without it
The more that some things change, the more they'll stay the same
You can claim a little fame but you're still losing the game
What's the cost to build a name? Living broke is a joke
I need a permanent vacation like a pig in a poke
To invoke a state of mind that's as free as a bird
But I'ma live in downtown, just a part of the herd
It's like Groundhog's Day and I've done seen it before
So God, you gots to help me, I can't take it no more
Now here we go again, the usual predicament
No means to an end, the debt, I can't get rid of it
A money song again, can't you pick a different subject?
When it comes to being broke, it's the usual suspects
Now here we go again, the usual predicament
No means to an end, the debt, I can't get rid of it
A money song again, can't you pick a different subject?
When it comes to being broke, it's the usual suspects
It's the money song y'all (Put a dollar in the sky)
Another money song y'all (Buy low, sell high)
It's the money song y'all (Guess it's time to sell out)
Another money song y'all (Borrow a dollar to bail out)
It's the money song y'all (Put a dollar in the sky)
Another money song y'all (Buy low, sell high)
It's the money song y'all (Guess it's time to sell out)
Another money song y'all (Borrow a dollar to bail out)
