Ain’t No Joke Bein’ Broke (Farrar/Lozoya/Murray)
smell the bread of trying to get ahead
week after week
but the ends
oh they don’t ever meet
see that road to success is lined with stress
ain’t no joke being broke
free time, I trade it for a lock
another year of staring at the clock
in the mail every single day
more bills to pay
as we strain on our yoke
all decent folk
ain’t no joke being broke
I’m a King Cobra
dreaming PBR
7 G’s at 20 APR
yes indeed, the only thing I need
is more mouths to feed
see I’m down on my knees
cos praying’s free
ain’t no joke being broke
ain’t no joke being broke
