God.Damn.Chan - When I Was Broke lyrics

[Verse 1: Spose] I slide a hundred 'cross the bar, order PBRs The bartender slides it back Says, "I'm a fan, Spizz, your drinks are on me" I said, "You're the man!" He said, "You're the man!" Dapped him up Funny how it happens, huh? Now that being broke's history Everybody giving free sh** to me Like last week, I'm at Olive Garden Wine bottles on tablecloths Balling out like tea baggin' I'm paid, I copped Alfredo sauce The manager comes up Says, "Spose, we love all your stuff, it's on the house" I said, "No doubt, that's dope" But where was this sh** when I was broke? Could've used a free meal back in 2006 When I only came here January every year With my Christmas gift certificates Now that the money's stacked up Everybody wanna hook it up 'Cause ever since I started making money off music It's like I don't even have to use it Everybody give me free sh** They covered my whole dinner at the oyster barb But back in the day in '08 I was scrapping by an eighth [?] coinstar It's a paradox, like two wharfs 'Cause now I got my own cheese But the price tags all disappeared Like evidence against police Man, I used to have to shop at GoodWill (Bro) But now that my music make a profit (Dope) Everybody give me free shirts, free hoodies when I see 'em Now I need another closet I appreciate it, everybody when they see me They give me free weed to smoke [Hook: Spose, "my wife" & Dave Gutter] But where was this sh** when I was broke? I could've used it back in the day Before I signed a record deal, before I got paid Back when I was struggling with overdraft fees That's when I needed sh** for free Back when I was broke [Verse 2: Spose] I'm so stoked that I got paid off my talent So I walk up to the bar again, this time for some McCallan But this dude steps up in my face He's like, "Oh my God, Spose? No way! Bro, Spose, put your money away, I'm buying you a drink" "Dude, I can afford to buy my own drink now, like I have money now" Got me all red in the mood ring But then he buys it anyway, now I got two drinks Dude, how am I even supposed to do things? Had to put my phone down, unlock it with my nose now sh**'s pretty good out in Spose Town The difference from my old life's profound Like I used to buy trees from Mike V And there was one whole month that he didn't like me 'Cause I owed him $30 for an eighth for like three weeks If I was that broke [?] give me free weed I used to struggle, now I got it really easy I can afford it, you should give it to the needy You know who needs free sh**? Man, the old me who couldn't cop an ounce Hopping out the Oldsmobile To work a nine hour shift at the Lobster Pound Like why don't we give free sh** To the people in their hard days? It don't make sense Like you got wrinkly dollars at the arcade I could've used a beer in 2009 When I was on unemployment Before I was the sh** Before I had to pay for rolled up like the one by toilet If it was 2006 And you came and robbed me at gunpoint You'd probably get two dollars, seven cents And enough weed for rolling up one joint But now my life is dope Everybody give me free sh**, I'm stoked But all I wanna know... [Hook: Spose, "my wife" & Dave Gutter] Is where was this sh** when I was broke? I could've used it back in the day Before I signed a record deal, before I got paid Back when I was struggling with overdraft fees That's when I needed sh** for free Back when I was broke When I was living at my mama's house Or sleeping on Melanie's couch That's when I needed some handouts Back when I was broke [Outro: Dave Gutter] Where were you back when I needed you? Where were you back when I needed you? (Broke, broke, broke) Where were you back when I needed you? (Where was this sh** when I was broke?) Back in the day Where were you back when I needed you? Could've used it back in the day Before I signed a record deal, before I got paid Then, I was struggling with overdraft fees (Where was this sh** when I was broke?)
