Hard To Be Broke And Do Better Lyrics

When you from the bottom, all you know is problems

I know money ain't everything but it give you some options

I know money ain't everything but it got me up out it

I know money ain't everything til it ain't in ya pocket

When ya stomach is growling, when they say they ain't hiring

When pain piercing your heart and they say keep on smiling

When you screaming out for help and they say that you wildin

When your check goes all on bills but the bills keep on piling

How I'm posed to keep my head up and keep being silent

I can't be seeking solace, nigga my children are watching

Warm words and helping hands are welcome

But is it enough to keep a broken man from stealing and robbing

Answer me that

Politicians play us for fools, they out for self

Vultures circling our culture, they out for wealth

We follow like sheep to the slaughter, and knew better

But it's hard to be broke and do better

Politicians play us for fools, they out for self

Vultures circling our culture, they out for wealth

We follow like sheep to the slaughter, and knew better

But it's hard to be broke and do better

Lord, let your light shine on the path to the right grind

Followed too many dead ends, I just need a life line

To pull me from the depths of my own mind

Nothing harder for a man to admit that he's broken down

I ain't looking for pity, I'm just tired of feeling hopeless

We fall down and get back up a little less focused

Dollars harder to stretch, we get a little less groceries

All the tears and pride I've swallowed over the years started choking me

Want to take a chance on myself but that's a heavy risk

One slip, my whole foundation sink to the abyss

Tryna balance fear and faith as my hand shakes

On the edge of what makes a man a failure or a man great

For real

Politicians play us for fools, they out for self

Vultures circling our culture, they out for wealth

We follow like sheep to the slaughter, and knew better

But it's hard to be broke and do better

Politicians play us for fools, they out for self

Vultures circling our culture, they out for wealth

We follow like sheep to the slaughter, and knew better

But it's hard to be broke and do better
