Scrilla Vic - Broke As A Joke Lyrics

Send "Broke As A Joke" ringtone to your cell

Gettin' paid. Gettin' paid. It's all about payday man.

These days a brother like V is well paid, but back then is when...

I wish I could say Money, Money, Money, Money On

But it was Money, Money, Money Gone

A Goldfinger with the Midas Touch

But my Fort Knox went bust and I was on the Double Dutch

Groovin' down the street - My pockets musta sprung a leak

And any offer made I couldn't turn the other cheek

My outlook was blea - a day later and a dollar short

Oh Lord! Sportin' kicks I couldn't afford

Chaching! That's a sound that I hadn't heard back then

I wished my ends were meetin' like a mother

But the dividends weren't my friends, it seems they wanted sweet revenge

For how I used up all they partners, so I'll get it in the end

Yo, Friend or Foe? I don't know

Was I the only latin that ain't won that lotto shit yet though?

No cash. My present future aint like my past

But the fact is those greenbacks were kickin' my ass.

Green seems to come between everything

And I was broke as a motherf'n joke.

Green seems to come between everything

And I was broke as a motherf'n joke.

Green seems to come between everything

And I was broke as a motherf'n joke.

Green seems to come between everything

And I was broke as a motherf'n joke.

Material possessions are f'n up perceptions

Better lessons learned than pockets overturned

I was workin' towards a lucrative career but the buck steered clear

And I was livin' out my greatest of fears

Unemployment lines started lookin' fine

And see a penny pick it up was only savin' for a dime

Searchin' for a way to get paid like Everlast

But everlasting loot seemed farthest from my grasp

Workin' on my studies - I had to put in work

Workin' for a couple crumbs and feelin' like a jerk

I ran out of savings and looked at my pops

For a loan thinkin' to myself I'd never pay him off

Wassup to Doe - no cash, but flow

He was in it with me like neighbors on Death Row

Rappin' real fast about the tax that won't relax

So F those greenbacks they can all kiss my ass.

Green seems to come between everything

And I was broke as a motherf'n joke.

Green seems to come between everything

And I was broke as a motherf'n joke.

Green seems to come between everything

And I was broke as a motherf'n joke.

Green seems to come between everything

And I was broke as a motherf'n joke.

These days in the rap world all you hear about is gettin' paid.

I got this ride or that whip or that chick

I was straight up broke before I got paid.

And there's no one out that can tell me otherwise.

Man, you need to get up off your ass and get to workin'

Put in work somewhere and get paid.

Cuz bein' broke as a joke is no picnic, man.

And I ain't no Captain Save'em.
