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
Cuz i ain't got any money
No i can't even pay my dues
My piggy bank is empty
I got the flat broke blues
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
Oh baby i ain't got any moolah
But i got about a hundred ious
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
When i finally got to work
Two hours late smelling like skunk
Boss fired me like a jerk
Now i'm cleaning toilets for a buck
Because i ain't got even a little flow now baby
My rent is three 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
