Sleep of Oldominion - Broke lyrics

[Verse 1] Growing up we never had much, but we had love That was enough to pick us up when it got tough So we fell down, everyone loses sometimes, its certain A charmed life just may be dark behind curtains I'm just glad whenever I'm hurting I have you in my corner getting me through, keeping it working Without you I had no purpose you had my back throughout this You got me through the worst like I deserve it What am I talking about, we all deserve it Whatever your version, whatever you're giving You should be receiving the same you, got to believe you're worth it Got to keep dreaming and turning your wheels and building with people that's working Not sit around on the couch all with no purpose I believe in all of my people we gonna break through Let me take a second to thank you Not matter how hard it ever got you never let it break you And that's saying a lot cause we never got a lot, we made due Yea they broke the mold when they made you [Chorus] Been a struggle for everybody There hasn't been a lot for you or me We don't got money, but we have each other We gonna make it through and we got family (x2) And there is nothing stronger My people are (broke) My country is (broke) My pockets are (broke) My future is (broke) My dreams are (broke) My hope is (broke) My wheel ain't (broke) My mic gets (broke) The system is (broke) The music biz (broke) The middle cla** (broke) These politics (broke) Their promises (broke) The Vatican (broke) Man I wish I could fix it but it's (broke) [Verse 2] Growing up we didn't know much But what they showed us on television listening to racist grownups Talk about my neighbors like they really know us But who needs them anyway that sh**ty show s**s Sorry got caught up in the moment Got my edumacation from somewhere else Found out about playing chess in front of union statio Opened the flood gate to being patien Know what I'm saying, oh, you don't okay keep waiting That's what it felt like my whole life Sitting back stage waiting for show time, but they never call my name, and it's all the same You never know you could be gone today So I'm on the straight It's not my fault when I walk on plates And I make the earth shake with the words I say Because it's a perfect day To kick a verse and say That I love music come and take the hurt away [Chorus] Been a struggle for everybody There hasn't been a lot for you or me We don't got money, but we have each other We gonna make it through and we got family (x2) And there is nothing stronger My people are (broke) My country is (broke) My pockets are (broke) My future is (broke) My dreams are (broke) My hope is (broke) My wheel ain't (broke) My mic gets (broke) The system is (broke) The music biz (broke) The middle cla** (broke) These politics (broke) Their promises (broke) The Vatican (broke) Man I wish I could fix it but it's (broke)
