Scrilla Vic - Broke As A Joke Lyrics
Gettin’ paid. Gettin’ paid. It’s all about payday man.These days a brother like V is well paid, but back then is when…I wish I could say Money, Money, Money, Money OnBut it was Money, Money, Money GoneA Goldfinger with the Midas TouchBut my Fort Knox went bust and I was on the Double DutchGroovin’ down the street – My pockets musta sprung a leakAnd any offer made I couldn’t turn the other cheekMy outlook was blea - a day later and a dollar shortOh Lord! Sportin’ kicks I couldn’t affordChaching! That’s a sound that I hadn’t heard back thenI wished my ends were meetin’ like a motherBut the dividends weren’t my friends, it seems they wanted sweet revengeFor how I used up all they partners, so I’ll get it in the endYo, Friend or Foe? I don’t knowWas I the only latin that ain’t won that lotto shit yet though?No cash. My present future aint like my pastBut the fact is those greenbacks were kickin’ my ass.Green seems to come between everythingAnd I was broke as a motherf’n joke. Green seems to come between everythingAnd I was broke as a motherf’n joke. Green seems to come between everythingAnd I was broke as a motherf’n joke. Green seems to come between everythingAnd I was broke as a motherf’n joke. Material possessions are f’n up perceptionsBetter lessons learned than pockets overturnedI was workin’ towards a lucrative career but the buck steered clearAnd I was livin’ out my greatest of fearsUnemployment lines started lookin’ fine And see a penny pick it up was only savin’ for a dimeSearchin’ for a way to get paid like EverlastBut everlasting loot seemed farthest from my graspWorkin’ on my studies - I had to put in workWorkin’ for a couple crumbs and feelin’ like a jerkI ran out of savings and looked at my popsFor a loan thinkin’ to myself I’d never pay him offWassup to Doe – no cash, but flowHe was in it with me like neighbors on Death RowRappin’ real fast about the tax that won’t relaxSo F those greenbacks they can all kiss my ass.Green seems to come between everythingAnd I was broke as a motherf’n joke. Green seems to come between everythingAnd I was broke as a motherf’n joke. Green seems to come between everythingAnd I was broke as a motherf’n joke. Green seems to come between everythingAnd I was broke as a motherf’n joke. These days in the rap world all you hear about is gettin’ paid.I got this ride or that whip or that chickI was straight up broke before I got paid.And there’s no one out that can tell me otherwise.Man, you need to get up off your ass and get to workin’Put in work somewhere and get paid.Cuz bein’ broke as a joke is no picnic, man.And I ain’t no Captain Save’em.
