BrokeStar Lyrics

[Intro]

Started broke

Now we raising up

Now we raising up

Up


Oh you hear that guitar

Here we go


[Chorus]

Started broke but now we raisin

Knowledge is power not craven (Ain't backing down)

Not referring to broke boi (No smooth brains)

Multiple meanings I toy

With, damn life is so bliss

Used to down a whole fifth (Uffda)

Approaching my fourth twenties

Tho I always been quite sunny


[Verse 1]

Neva talked still I had potential (Mute)

See my growth you'd know presidential

Poor beginnings what I went through

Yeah I know there's those with less (It ain't a contest)

Not a stranger to all the stress

Memorize to poke out yo chest (Poke it out boy)

Stick up for you and take no less

Than your worth cuz you're deserved

Mothafucka try me Imma stomp him (Stomp him down)

Strong ass nigga I'll really womp him (Beat him up)

Tho I'll only do that for defense (I ain't a dumb nigga)

Most broke boys could really use a rinse (Spray him down)

In that privilege contained within

White picket fences we won't get in (We ain't gettin in)

Tho I'll try my very best

Spread the love and raise the jest (Funny nigga)


[Chorus]

Started broke but now we raisin

Knowledge is power not craven

Not referring to broke boi

Multiple meanings I toy (Gotta layer it up)

With, damn life is so bliss

Used to down a whole fifth

Approaching my fourth twenties

Tho I always been quite sunny


[Verse 2]

Take a look at where I come from

I am talking me and then some (All the way back)

Generational improvement

You should see since I was young

This nigga has neva been dumb

Star concealed up in my head

Hey what's that, explain it to me (What that is)

Very long nights, toss in bed (Always tossin)

Cuz every mornin I do dread

Too many decisions I've led

On to play out when not needed

Cuz I was broke but still needed

Resources to realize the star

That I am requires time

To build and advance like mars

Complex rover, wait and charge


[Chorus]

Started broke but now we raisin

Knowledge is power not craven

Not referring to broke boi

Multiple meanings I toy

With, damn life is so bliss

Used to down a whole fifth

Approaching my fourth twenties

Tho I always been quite sunny
