$17.38 is how much I make in a week baby
[Hook: Broke Homie Tim]
Aye! You know the rent ain't paid
Eh, you no the bills ain't paid
Eh, student loans ain't paid
So I'm working this bull{CENSORED} job all day
Eh, cause I need that money (I'm so stingy!)
Eh, yeah I need that money (I'm so thrifty!)
Eh, yeah I need that money
Eh, yeah baby
[Verse 1: Broke Homie Tim]
Man Imma keep it 100
This the third day this week that I wore this shirt
Man I ain't getting that new Madden
Why would I when 2013 still work?
Man I might not have enough to pay the rent
I'm short $35 and bout 40 something cent
Aye man I really need some bread
(Not bread meaning money, I need an actual loaf of bread)
Can't afford the good cereals with this bank roll
But I don't care cause Fruit Hoops taste the same, bro!
Got invited to the next Redskins game yo
But the bay bridge got tolls so I can't go
And on top of that gas ain't free, it ain't cheap
Stamps don't come in till next week, I can't eat
Got this little Obama phone, I can't tweet
If you could lend ya boy some money then that would be pretty neat
[Hook: Broke Homie Tim]
Aye! You know the rent ain't paid
Eh, no the bills ain't paid
Eh, student loans ain't paid
So I'm working this bull{CENSORED} job all day
Eh, cause I need that money (Got tight pockets!)
Eh, yeah I need that money (I need profit!)
Eh, yeah I need that money (I'm not shopping!)
Eh, yeah baby
[Verse 2: Cheap Mill]
Ain't nothing in the fridge, ain't nothing in the freezer
I ain't seen a dozen eggs since last Easter
And my sister mad cause I went to her wedding in some jeans
And my 2003 Prom T-Shirt
Man I swear I gotta do something bro
Last Thanksgiving I had two turkey lunchables
The teenagers see my fake foams and they all yell
"WHAT ARE THOSE!?!?"
And I say "comfortable"
I play PlayStation 1
AC don't work, I'm getting k**ed by the sun
I can't even go to the club and have some fun
Cause when I swipe my card the thing say insufficient funds
The lights been off for like a week now
Buying summer clothes cause they cheap now
So girl we can Netflix and Chill
But make it in the next 30 days cause I only got the free trial
[Hook: Broke Homie Tim]
Aye! You know the rent ain't paid (Man you know it ain't paid!)
Eh, no the bills ain't paid (Man you know they ain't paid!)
Eh, student loans ain't paid
So I'm working this bull{CENSORED} job all day
Eh, cause I need that money (I need money!)
Eh, yeah I need that money (It's not funny!)
Eh, yeah I need that money
Eh, yeah baby (Taylor Thrift on the verse!)
[Verse 3: Taylor Thrift]
I swear to god poverty is no joke
I can't even pay attention I'm so broke
I go to dollar tree and ask about the deals
Eating Ramen Noodles every single meal
My only vehicle got two wheels
Man the struggles too real
I got a job I gotta go to everyday before cla**
And another afterschool but I can't afford gas
My only pair of shoes are some white Air Maxes
No Tempurpedic bruh I got an air mattress
When you go to MCs me, don't ask for nothing
Over $5 cause you know you can't have it
My only pair of shoes are some white Air Maxes
No Tempurpedic bruh I got an air mattress
When you go to MCs me, don't ask for nothing
Over $5 cause you know you can't have it
(NO YOU CAN'T HAVE NO LARGE FRIES!)
(I AIN'T GOT NO LARGE FRY MONEY!)
[Hook: Broke Homie Tim]
Aye! You know the rent ain't paid
Eh, no the bills ain't paid
Eh, student loans ain't paid
So I'm working this bull{CENSORED} job all day
Eh, cause I need that money (1738!)
Eh, yeah I need that money (SQUAD!)
Eh, yeah I need that money
Eh, yeah baby
[Verse 4: Anita Bettersourceofincome]
Clap your hands if you need to get paid
Clap your hands if you need to get a raise
[Verse 5: Missy Sellin' It]
Clap your hands if you ever put water in the ketchup
Just to make it last a couple more days
[Bridge: Broke Homie Tim]
Baby shake that ketchup bottle, eh
Baby shake that ketchup bottle, eh (Yeah baby!)
Baby shake that ketchup bottle, eh (ZooWap! SQUAD)
Baby shake that ketchup bottle, eh (Yeah baby!)
[Outro: Broke Homie Tim]
I was at Wal-Mart and I saw my boy Joe
I said "yo, come over here bro
Times is hard and I'm running out of money
We're such good friends, can I borrow a twenty?"
He said "Man I don't know I don't got it like that"
I said "Nah it's cool bro, man I'll pay you right back
Cause today is Wednesday and I get paid on Friday
So that means that you'll have your money in 2 days."
He said "hold up dude wait, it's been 32 days
Since you borrowed twenty from me and I haven't got paid"
I said "Wait let me explain, you know my friend Shanay?
Her daughter's B-Day was the very next day
So she had a party, but she had some bad luck
We looked up, and we had ran out of cups
She said 'Tim can you go to Wal-Mart and grab some cups?'
And I looked in my pocket, all the money that I had was
The money I was supposed to pay you back with so I spent it
On the cups and I never got a chance to pay you back."
And he said "Shanay doesn't even have a daughter she has 2 sons
Tim I really think you're really just taking advantage of my kindness just to get another 20 dollars from me
I said "What kind of friend are you that we have to go through all this discussion over twenty simple dollars man it's easy just hand me the bill and then I'll pay you back on Friday."
He said "Okay Tim, I trust you", and he handed me the bill
And I never paid him back
Ever
