Being Broke ain't no joke
All your hard work goes down the drain
Working 3 jobs just to maintain, bodies sore
from overtime I'm taking
Until they lay you off and all your hard work was wasted
The disappointed look on my kids faces, have to explain why losing are home got my heart hurting
Paying weekly and daily at these roach invested motels, cooking on a hot plate just to make hot meal
Roman noodles to eat when u have nothing,
collecting cans just to make little money
Watching my family sleeping on family members floor, think that we can save money
My wife don't see how? When are family members keep taking it from us
Seeing the way they watch us suffer
Lonely nights got me hear the devil's whispers
Tryna convince me robbing and violence my only option
I stop and pray asking God to show me the way
Deliver me from temptation and easy my pain
Wrote my pain on paper, now I meet someone who can relate
Devils Advocate tells me he know bout pain
So we share verses that we both can relate
