Great James! - Still Broke Lyrics

I know, I'm prolly gonna stay broke
Aye, yo
I've been sick, tho
I've been coughing and bleeding and writing riffs, tho
I don't know if I'm East, I'm not Midwest, tho
And I don't know if I'll ever see that first check, tho
Wait a minute, baby, I don't mind
But y'all is acting like this is my first time
You're paying me to reason, but not rhyme
Still Broke even though I put in the time

Yo, I just got the news
She got a new man
I'd let him call me a thief
But I need both of my hands
They write me songs
I'm a boy in a band
And the lips I read are of the radio man

He says I'll stay broke
Aye, yo
I've been sick, tho
I've been coughing and bleeding and writing riffs, tho
I don't know if I'm East, I'm not Midwest, tho
And I don't know if I'll ever see that first check, tho
Wait a minute, baby, I don't mind
But y'all is acting like this is my first time
You're paying me to reason, but not rhyme
Still Broke even though I put in the time

Yo, how mad were you when I showed up with my eyes all red
If I could do it again, I'd prolly show drunk instead
Make a scene, start crying, throw myself on your bed
Read a written speech and shoot myself in the head
I thought I could cut it
Shit, I've been huffing and puffing
And I've been guilty as f*ck
Cause you wanted me as your husband
But there's a problem
My love has become a function of justice
They'll love me if I can be everything that they wasn't
As hard as it seems
You know it stays in your dreams
And when I wake up
I shape up to be an honest dead beat
I get up, work, make money, and then go back to sleep
And I make sure I pick this check up at the end of the week

I'm gonna stay broke
Aye, yo
Cause they said so
You got a talent, it's weak that you can't be rich, tho
So I'ma do what I please
A man of arrogancy
On the road, coast to coast
Us and some LSD

Still Broke, Still Broke
Still Broke, Still Broke
Still Broke, Still Broke
You think you're not on death row's payroll
Not sure, bet he's got you in his fist, tho
Still Broke, Still Broke
