Broke

(álbum: Shea Butter Baby - 2019)

[Ari Lennox:]
Ayy, ayy, ayy, woo, uh, mmm...
Keep thing, cheap thing, cheap thing
Cute thing, fine thing, pink frame, back then
Looking real good, you know I been
You're too young, that's fine, we been vibing
Cruising, riding through Raleigh
Take a trip on AmTrak 'cause we ain't got no monies

I've been low before
Yeah, you know I've been low before (Woo)
I'll bring cups, you bring the smoke
It's a dove right in your look
Yes, I've been low before (Woo)
Yeah, you know I've been low before
I'll bring cups, you bring the smoke
It's a dove right in your look

Broke thing, broke thing, it's a written thing
Brown skin, it's a bitten thing, chitty bang
When I'm angry with my bully, I call your name
Baby, I need you, yeah
Baby, I need you, yeah

I've been low before
Yeah, you know I've been low before (Woo)
I'll bring cups, you bring the smoke
It's a dove right in your look
Yes, I've been low before (Woo)
Yeah, you know I've been low before
I'll bring cups, you bring the smoke
It's a dove right in your look

[J.I.D:]
I don't know how many times I said it
Broke boy, baby, ain't got no bread
They ain't got no cheese
I've been tryna fertilize your eggs
Moisturize your head, supervise the kids
Baby, won't you tell me what's important to you
It ain't really all about money to me
Chilling if you tryna find something to do
Sitting there looking like you something to eat
I've been broke and you been broke, your heart been broke
And I'm still broke and breaking down weed
I been hoping, you've been hopeless, help me, please
Heaven, notice me, I'm out of focus
Somebody show me the rope-a-dope
So I can dodge the demons tryna choke my throat
Her last man was litty, he had loads of dough
He was taller, older, I'm like Amendola height
Trips left, open right, call me over on a motion, I'm on your side
They ain't tripping, I'm finna triple up and mobilize
Survive, remote, remorse, I grabbed the wheel and rode to death
I ride to die, I'm making life and taking life
I fuck a chick, I killed a guy
I spilled the beans and threw the rice
A knight in shining armor, fight and give me the knife and slice

It's for my boo thing, my new thing, new flame, butane
Nipple ring, coochie ring, lick 'em both, do my thing
Pickle soaked, down your throat, holy water, take a gulp
Let me drive the boat
Nah, woah, yeah, row

[Ari Lennox:]
I've been low before (Ayy)
Yeah, you know I've been low before (Hey)
I'll bring cups, you bring the smoke (Ayy)
It's a dove right in your look
Yes, I've been low before
Yeah, you know I've been low before
I'll bring cups, you bring the smoke
It's a dove right in your look (Yeah)

Broke thing, broke thing, it's a written thing
Brown skin, it's a bitten thing, chitty bang (Hey)
When I'm angry with my bully, I call your name
Baby, I need you, yeah
Baby, I need you, yeah (I've been low before)

It's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright
