HiddenRoad - Still Broke Lyrics

Born broker than a joke, North side, River Oaks
Working class folks, busy whipping up the oats
Mom and Dad busting ass just to give us what we had
Never comprehended how hard it was 'till I became a dad
Not mad, never that, appreciate what was given
But if I didn't grow up in hoarder's filth, would I be any different
So many forms of prison, Granny sick before dementia
Rotten apples, spoiled meat, cardboard boxes, every inch was
Despoiled, noxious, roaches scurry bold as fuck
Not only lack of cash, many ways to be broke as fuck
Broken soul, broken spirit, the masters withhold the carrot
Hopeful clerics pray to the gods, hoping they hear it
I know they fear him, his eminence most high
My biggest fear is I might turn into her before I go die
Oh my, now you see the way of it, don't lie
I may be broke as fuck, but try and pay it no mind
I been stepped on, dope but still slept on
Thought shit would fall into place, but I was dead wrong
Headstrong, will of the ox, piling the debt on
Swear it's gonna pan out, moving on to the next song
Next move, set the plan in motion, give it my best too
Repute is lacking, be certain they all will test you
Best you remember where we been, there's still hope
Successful in many ways but inside we still broke

Born broker than a joke, North side, River Oaks
