N.O. Joe - Ain't With Being Broke lyrics

"Better to have money and not to need it; Than to need it and not to have it!" [Intro] Money, more money (I AIN'T WITH BEING BROKE!) I've got to get my hands on some [Willie D] Lemonheads don't quote, I ain't with bein broke I'm tired of my mother bustin a** for other folks Gettin nowhere fast While the ho on the corner makin mo' money sellin a**! I ain't with this outfit I gotta make some moves to buy G Jones some nice sh** Before she k** herself, workin on a job all week That don't even make the f**in ends meet I walk down Main Street Growls in my tummy cause I ain't had nuttin to eat So how the f** am I gon' thank? When I'm in a funky sweatsuit and Syl b**hin to me Her a** is tooken out puttin non-stop Make the swap and go shop I said that to say this and every note I ain't with being broke! [Hook] Money, more money (I AIN'T WITH BEING BROKE!) Got to get my hands on some Money, more money Got to get my hands on some [Bushwick Bill] I was BORN in a cheap-a** hospital Brought to 5th Ward, stuffed right in the middle Of a rock and a hard spot Before my dad got that a** I was already counted out What a motherf**in pity Momma couldn't afford milk so we had to s** her titty In the kitchen every night I would see Rats and roaches eatin better than me There was no Thanksgiving They say I'm a fool for thanking God for living But bein broke ain't no motherf**in joke Well out in '91 sh** just ain't happenin bro I never had a God damn thing Christmas came and went, without a choo-choo train In the ghettos gifts get stole or bought Ain't no motherf**in Santa Claus! [Hook] Money, more money (I AIN'T WITH BEING BROKE!) I've got to get my hands on some, sweet mo-neyyyy Money, more money (I AIN'T WITH BEING BROKE!) I've got to get my hands on some [Scarface] Let the gunshots RANG OUT, blow my God damn BRAINS OUT If you've been there, you know what I'm talkin about Gettin over tops my agenda The easy way out, is to jump out of a window But that's a dopefiend move gone left I'll k** you, but not MYSELF I tried to do the right things major But that didn't put no food on the table Went back to school to get my G.E.D But who's gonna hire a motherf**er like me? ... McDonald's don't fit They work you like a dog plus they talk too much sh**! Without them dollar signs It's like livin and dyin at the same time And you wonder why a motherf**er sell dope? He ain't with being broke! [Hook] Money, more money (I AIN'T WITH BEING BROKE!) I've got to get my hands on some, yeahhhh Money, more money (I AIN'T WITH BEING BROKE!) I've got to get my hands on some, sweet sweet [Outro] Money - yeahhhh, money - yeahh Talkin 'bout money Yeahhh money Talkin 'bout that mean green Talkin 'bout that money Money, more money We've got to get our hands on some We need money.. {*fades out*}
