[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
