BROKE BLUES

Well I woke up this morning, baby 
Went to the kitchen to eat some eggs 
But the kitchen shelves were empty 
So I ate some pocket lint instead 

CHORUS 1: 
‘Cuz I ain’t got any money 
No, I can’t even pay my dues 
Yeah, my piggy bank is empty 
I got the flat broke blues 

VERSE 2: 
They turned off all my power 
Don’t have no light to see 
Can’t afford to get some dog food 
Now my dog is eating me 

CHORUS 2: 
Oh baby, I ain’t got any moolah 
But I got about a hundred I.O.U.’s 
Don’t have two pennies to rub together 
I got those ugly broke blues 

I remember what it was like- 
I had to decide between shoes 'n rice 
We've all got choices to make 
And I'm gonna show you the steps you should take 
First is a budget, no spending above it 
You need more, then earn more that’s how we have done it 
Can saves hundreds, by cutting out costs 
Unneeded items can leave you at a loss 
Mo money, mo problem’s, (that) what Biggie said 
He probly could’ve used some financial ed 
Now, will you take time to invest? 
To give up the stress of living with less? 

VERSE 3 
When I finally got to work 
2 hours late, smelling like skunk 
Boss fired me like a jerk 
Now I’m cleaning toilets for a buck 

CHORUS 3 
Because I ain’t got even a little flow, now baby 
My rent is 3 years overdue 
When I open my wallet, moths fly out 
I got these terrible broke blues 

No, I can’t even pay attention 
I got the flat broke blues
