BROKE Lyrics by Dende

A Happy Man

2021

[Chorus: Dende]
They tell me the best things in life all free
Happiness, family and dreams
Lovers kiss, hair blown in the breeze
After summer, jumpin' in the leaves
Know there's a lot still that I don't know
Filin' taxes, how the world can float
How to relax and just go wit' the flow
But I know for sure, I'm tired of bein' broke

[Verse 1: Dende]
I got some bills, they weigh me down like Lee with Garra
Tired of wakin' up to live my day in sorrow
I could give a fuck less about the fame
Give me all my money I'll feel just as great
I can't concentrate on all the shit I love when I'm feelin stuck
Man, I just can't create shit
I just can't relate to all the happy faces
Never known the freedom of a debtless day shit, I
I just need the green light to go off
To do what I know if I did, I'd just blow up
A house in the hills out where no one could show up
And hit me wit' bullshit 'bout payin' some shit that I owe 'em
I'on know 'em at all
I had the money, couldn't get me involved
They say there's problems that it just couldn't solve
I say they prolly just ain't makin' enough, nah

[Chorus: Dende]
They tell me the best things in life all free
Happiness, family and dreams
Lovers kiss, hair blown in the breeze
After summer, jumpin' in the leaves
Know there's a lot still that I don't know
Filin' taxes, how the world can float
How to relax and just go wit' the flow
But I know for sure, I'm tired of bein' broke
Broke, yeah, I know for sure, I'm tired of bein' broke
Broke, I know for sure, I'm tired of bein' broke
Broke, I know for sure, I'm tired of bein' broke
Broke (Yeah, uh, uh)
(Yeah, I know for sure, I'm tired of bein'-)

[Verse 2: Jon Swaii]
Grew up in a place where impoverished people
Never really viewed as equal
Everybody seem to leave you low and down
Ridin' dirty, ain't no slowin' down
Before I'm 30, I'ma show 'em how
Plant a seed, I seen a lotus flower
Bloom in the hood got thorns in my drown
Fell to the ground when I seen who I was
Found my purpose in the poorest places
Who you savin' if you born rich?
What you sayin' if it ain't this?
Why you stayin' if you can't win? I been broke, nigga
But what is money when you born to die?
I kept runnin', tryna touch the sky
Numb inside, I ain't wanna feel
Got the world bitin' down at my heels
Healin' pain, escape my fears
Everything can change in a year
Mhm, nigga, keep going
Lookin' at the fame like damn, can't run, nigga, keep goin'
Don't let that pressure fold you
I been broke, I know I told you
Breakin' through that mold, I hope you see the light someday
Being broke is beautiful, there's freedom in that pain, I said
Breakin' through that mold, I hope you see the light someday
Being broke is beautiful, there's freedom in that pain, I said
Uh

[Outro: Dende]
But I know for sure, I'm tired of bein' broke
Broke, yeah, I know for sure, I'm tired of bein' broke
Broke, I know for sure, I'm tired of bein' broke
Broke, I know for sure, I'm tired of bein' broke
Broke
