[Intro]
Living like a king with empty pockets
Got that crown on but my bank account's toxic
Mama taught me dignity can't be bought
Real royalty's in the blood, that's what she taught
[Verse 1]
Working at mi tío's car wash, hands raw
Making pesos, keeping pride, that's the law
Mama selling empanadas after dark
Hustling hard just to keep that royal spark
Every day I'm grinding, yeah, I know my worth
Born with nothing but I'm blessed since birth
[Chorus]
Broke royalty, that's what they call me (¡Ey!)
Empty wallet but I'm living like a don
Broke royalty, can't take my crown (No pueden)
Got no money but my spirit's never down
Soy el rey de la calle, aunque sin billetes
Living like a king while I'm counting pennies
[Verse 2]
Corner store credit, they know my face (Mi gente)
Swagger so rich, poverty can't erase
Mama worked three jobs but walked like a queen
Taught me being broke don't mean losing my dreams
F*ck what they think, I'm still wearing gold
My kingdom's in the heart, that sh*t can't be sold
[Chorus]
Broke royalty, that's what they call me (¡Ey!)
Empty wallet but I'm living like a don
Broke royalty, can't take my crown (No pueden)
Got no money but my spirit's never down
Soy el rey de la calle, aunque sin billetes
Living like a king while I'm counting pennies
[Outro]
They see me struggling but I'm still a king
Bank account low but my soul still gleams
That's that broke royalty, yeah that's me
Rich in spirit is all I'll ever need to be
