Broke Lyrics by Valeree

it’s fine, i’m fine

2021

19 and I'm living in my Mazda from '98
Praying it don't break down, I can't afford to fix the brakes
One hour in between my shifts make it across town
With my fingers and my toes crossed that my gas tank don't run out

Oh, I don't need a fortune
I don't need to be rich to sleep well at night
But oh, wouldn't it be nice to work to live instead of just survive?

Woah, what's a girl gotta do to stay afloat?
No, no matter how hard I work, I just keep on feelin' broke

21 working 12 hour shifts, 7 days a week
Every dollar straight to rent on a place I only use to sleep
Feel a cough comin' on that I know I can't afford
Too poor to pay outta pocket, too poor to be insured

Oh, I don't need a fortune
I don't need to be rich to sleep well at night
But oh, wouldn't it be nice to work to live instead of just survive?

Woah, what's a girl gotta do to stay afloat?
No matter how hard I work, I just keep on feelin' broke
Woah, what's a girl gotta do to stay afloat?
No, no matter how hard I work
I just keep on feelin' broke

When I get so tired
Think I'm runnin' out of steam (runnin' out of stеam)
Tell myself at least thеy say
The best things in life are free

Woah, what's a girl gotta do to stay afloat?
No, no matter how hard I work
I just keep on feelin' broke

Woah, what's a girl gotta do to stay afloat?
No, no matter how hard I work
I just keep on feelin' broke
