Lyrics

Vs1
Yo....When we used to be young, when we used to be boys
We used to punk other niggaz for they happy meal toys
but those days have past, they all gone in a flash
Now we all live the life of love, tears and cash
I remember one time when I crossed the corner
to woop this one fat kid for his optimus prime transformer
He was yelling loud no doubt, so I swung and then I hit this cat in the mouth,
when I spot this boy, I had to stop this boy,
then I stole on his chest and made him drop his toy
yo we used to live fowl but now we all grown up
but still these MC's I see don't wanna own up
Oh well every body I'm black and happy
I always wear a hat cuz my hair is too nappy to be shown
way too nappy to be combed
plus it looks like I got taco meat on my dome

Chorus1
Being broke is not a game, being broke aint cool
being broke can happen to you
cuz TLC went broke Tony Braxton went broke
Ganry Coleman still a broke Nigga too
So if you see some broke brothaz thats looking for bills
give them acouple bucks or 2
cuz instead of being broke they can be impolite
and take a couple bucks from you.

Yo I had to laugh an I had squeel,
when I met this fine chick name Camille
that wanted me to take her to the mall
then to the zoo to feed the seals
Take her to Red Lobster and pay for her meal
With out a word I stopped her kicked her out my world
and picked up an OK mediocre looking girl
that can stay around from summer to winter
that can pay for her own dinner
to ya'll prolly really maybey sounds kind of fowl
sound kinda mean, but if your feeling me
everybody follow me, throw yo hands up to the sky
throw your hands up don't be shy, throw yo hands up keepum high I've been low on nutrition, and its got me wishin
I had more financial aid to pay for my tuition
but unitl I do, I'll grab a Pesi or Coke
keep sippin be broke.

chorus 2
Being broke is not a game being broke aint cool
Being broke can happen to you
Cuz Jimmy Swaagart went broke, MC Hammer went broke
Gary Coleman still a broke Nigga too
So if you see some broke brothaz thats looking for loot
give them a couple sluggs or 2
Cuz instead of being cool they can be impoite
And take a couple sluggs from you.

Girls used to call me scary, and they used to call me fairy
But now they write me more notes than Mariah could even carry
even white girls that would usually love Brad Pitt & Luke Perry
Try to offer me there cherry
and big black chicks with hairy arm pits
wanna get around me and try to do the splits
But I have to run away, put my loaded gun away
and pretend as if I'd rather smash another day
I say i am so broke and everybody knows
its not because I buy too many cool designer clothes
but its cuz I have too many damn bills to pay
racial profile speedin tickets baby
its like this i dated this fat obese shick named lisa
took her to Papa Johns pizza she order 34 slices
drunk 4 liters of Coke and made me put it all on my Visa
it sounds like a blooper, sounds outta sight
but when I walk into Taco Bell all the flat spanish chicks drop they Chalupas and run to my sight just to hear me flow and when I'm done they say:

chorus 3:
Its not a Joke and its not cool it can happen to you
Cuz TLC was bankrupt Toni Braxton messed up
and Gary Coleman still a broke Nigga too
SO if see some broke brothas thats looking for bills
give them a couple bucks or too
cuz instead of being broke they can be impolite
and take a couple bucks from you.
