Broke Boy

Intro

(Yeah, yeah)

School bells ringin', pockets empty,

Life hittin' hard, but I ain't bendin'. Ayy.

Verse

Wake up at dawn, alarm screamin' loud,

No food in the fridge, stomach growlin' proud.

Shoes got holes, socks wearin' thin,

Walk to the bus, dodge the rain, dive in.

Classroom seats, back row hidin',

Teacher call my name, but my mind slidin'.

Homework blank, pencil chewed to the nub,

Friends talk big, but they switch when it gets rough.

Lunchtime hits, tray empty as my wallet,

Watch 'em flex chains, I just ball it.

Gym class dodgeball, they aim for my dome,

Feelin' like a target, far from home.

Detention after, scribblin' lines on the wall,

Dreamin' of stacks, watch me rise, watch me ball.

Bills pilin' high, mom's workin' double shifts,

I grind through the pain, clench my fists. Yuh!

Chorus

Girls tauntin' me, "Broke boy, stay back!" (stay back, stay back)

Laugh in my face, point at my backpack. (backpack, backpack)

"Poor kid, can't buy nothin' nice!" (nice, nice)

They flip they hair, ice cold advice. (advice, advice)

Broke, broke, yeah they call me broke! (broke, broke)

Broke, broke, but my heart ain't broke! (broke, broke)

Taunt all day, but I won't fold, no! (no, no)

One day they'll see, I'ma take control. (control, control)

Verse

Hallways buzzin', whispers like knives,

"She like him? Nah, he can't even survive."

Crush on shorty, but she with the rich kid crew,

I shoot my shot, she reply, "Who?"

Parties I miss, no cash for the door,

Sneak in the backyard, vibe on the floor.

Study hall grind, books my only friend,

While they scroll feeds, I'm plottin' the win.

Rent due soon, lights flickerin' low,

Pray for a come-up, let the hunger grow.

Bullies shove, "Yo, lend me a dollar?"

I laugh it off, but inside it holler.

Nights wide awake, future callin' my name,

Paper and pen, writin' my claim.

From these struggles, I'll build my throne,

Broke today, billionaire tone. Ayy, skrrt!

Chorus

Girls tauntin' me, "Broke boy, stay back!" (stay back, stay back)

Laugh in my face, point at my backpack. (backpack, backpack)

"Poor kid, can't buy nothin' nice!" (nice, nice)

They flip they hair, ice cold advice. (advice, advice)

Broke, broke, yeah they call me broke! (broke, broke)

Broke, broke, but my heart ain't broke! (broke, broke)

Taunt all day, but I won't fold, no! (no, no)

One day they'll see, I'ma take control. (control, control)

Bridge

(Yeah, uh-huh)

One foot front, head up high,

Laughs turn to silence when I touch the sky.

No more taunts, no more shade,

Broke was the fuel, now I'm gettin' paid. (paid, paid)

Chorus

Girls tauntin' me, "Broke boy, stay back!" (stay back, stay back)

Laugh in my face, point at my backpack. (backpack, backpack)

"Poor kid, can't buy nothin' nice!" (nice, nice)

They fli
