Lyrics
Broke yes indeed
Smoking this tree
Dreaming bout planting a seed
There's roots in my sleep
Stems from a house full of greed
No hope for a college degree
Broke that it cost you to breathe
Pray for the letters I need
Pray for a M and the Gs
Up 4am cause I think
I'm up cause I think
I hope I can Swim before I sink
Dead end jobs to dead end jobs
I'm begging God
See no gas and I'm losing my drive
Every dollar found will surely count
See I'm no clown
But lately I've been penny wise
Can't afford my girl it cost me time
She such a dime a dime piece
That I lose my mind
I've been on my grind from 9-5 to 9-5
I'm not alive just getting by
What an event
So broke smell of money's a cent (scent)
Can't pay up my rent
Life hard it was made with cements
Got no helping hand
I twist and I turn and I bend
Like damn, what an event
So broke smell of money's a cent (scent)
Can't pay up my rent
Life hard it was made with cements
Got no helping hand
I twist and I turn and I turn and I
Holy holy holy pray for more, pray for more
Pray for the colors I want
Green more green to the core, green more greens
Holy holy holy pray for more, pray for more
Pray for the colors I want
Green more green to the core, green more green
Seventeen I was serving drinks
Serving tables to sell a dream
($)7.20 an hour the fuck you mean
Saving pennies I feel like a clown again for the green
Incomplete can't afford my heat
Live in loops everyday repeats
See the walls in my room have been caving in
Sun to moon I resume in this life of sin
Broke yes indeed
Smoking this tree
Dreaming bout planting a seed
There's roots in my sleep
Stems from a house full of greed
No hope for a college degree
Broke that it cost you to breathe
Pray for the letters I need
Pray for a M and the Gs
Up 4am cause I think
I'm up cause I think
I hope I can Swim before I sink
