Verse 1 Who am I? Not what you'd expect am I right? A baby girl born 9-0 in July In a place where dreams had no chance They would die And so god gave me wings And then I waved goodbye Put a daisy in my grandfather's grave Didn't cry Cause I understood d**h Never had to ask why As I packed up my bags Blew a kiss up to the sky And started my way to one hell of a life I, grew up like an army brat Every year new residence Hopped on a plane New countries, new presidents Landed in 9-7 Daddy won a green card Started out an immigrant Used to feel a retard Always the new girl Always the questions Always the new friends I foolishly trusted It wasn't easy I made my adjustments Now I'm no longer the young girl I once was Hook X2 Its a cold, cruel world when your banks running low For that cold, hard cash How far you willing to go? All I know is that I'll never be a broke b**h No, Ill never be a broke b**h Verse 2 College, College That was a different beast What makes the most money that I'm ganna hate the least?
All I knew is by 25 I'm ganna have a lease And the keys to something fresh that hasn't even been released Take a hit, of that sh** Now my mind is racing Picking through my thoughts I'm finding complications Mom raised a woman Taught her virtue But not patience I still remember every single f**ing conversation Always in a rush She said you'll run out of breathe chasing Slow down you crazy child Your ganna find your place But I sped things up You know, just in case I saw the life I wanted And I had to have a taste Now the teachers, teachers talked But I never, never listened Instead of taking notes It was songs that I had written My focus had shifted I started to drift Fell asleep on my desk And I woke up with this Hook X2 Its a cold, cruel world when your banks running low For that cold, hard cash How far you willing to go? All I know is that I'll never be a broke b**h No, Ill never be a broke b**h
