Jesse Stewart
Broke In Half (Donnie Dumphy Cover)
[Verse 1: Jesse Stewart]
Well you're probably sitting there on a mint
I'm sitting here with the ball of lint
Sent out the street cuz I can't make rent
Kicked out by two face Harvey Dent
Whatchu' know about a massive bag of puffs?
Shit be stale before you open 'em up
Growing up, had it rough
I never got to taste no Cap'n Crunch
Well what you know about "I dream of Geannie"?
When Donnie's on the back with a fork in the TV
Trying to watch some monster trucks
But the by's came by and got the cable cut
Diggin' in the couches for some change
When you're down at Sears people look at you strange
It's all about leftovers when you're poor
Find them in the food court and they're not even yours
[Chorus]
Ain't got no job, I ain't got no money
Know what I'm saying when you're tired of scraping by
Then just sing along with Dumphy
Said, ain't got no job I ain't got no money
Know what I'm saying and you're tired of scraping by
Then just sing along with Dumphy
[Refrain]
Whatchu' know about being broke?
Butt end of a joke, end of my rope
Regular folk just tryna' cope
Tryna' not to choke
Cuz I still got hope man
Whatchu' know about dole checks?
Gettin' wrecked, always in debt
Bonne fête here's a punch in the head
It's the hardest you've met
Wouldn't change in a sec
[Verse 2]
Well I wear the same boxers for like a month
Inside out back-wards and front
Everybody wants to come have a gawk
When your big fucking toe's sticking out of your sock
I had to pickpocket like Oliver twist
Cuz the landlord threw-out all of our shit
Recession oh shit! Never had a session to begin with
Whatchu' know about a dine'n dash?
For three meals a day plus a midnight snack
When I was growing up shit was just not right
Kids had a hot lunch so I had a hot bike
Know what it's like to take an icy shower?
And a candlelit beer cause you got no power?
It's not great just drinking a forty
I'm not complaining just telling my story
[Chorus]
Ain't got no job, ain't got no money
Do you know what I'm saying, tired of scraping by
Then just sing along with Dumphy
Said, ain't got no job I ain't got no money
Know what I'm saying, tired of scraping by
Then just sing along with Dumphy
[Refrain]
Whatchu' know about being broke?
Butt end of a joke, end of my rope
Regular folk just tryna' cope
Tryna' not to choke
Cuz I still got hope man
Whatchu' know about dole checks?
Gettin' wrecked, always in debt
Bonne fête here's a punch in the head
It's the hardest you've met
Wouldn't change in a sec
[Verse 3]
I used to be getting them natural Hattrick's
Thought I'd be a number one draft pick
My stick is a branch, my pad for a mattress
My puck is a rock and my goalies a racket
Still going to play till my knees give
Easton aluminum gee-whiz
Buddies over there with three kids
At the bottom of a jar of cheese whiz
Who saves the day, guess who?
Donnie Dumphy to the rescue
Half a loaf of bread and a block of butter
Just don't tell them it was from a dumpster
All I wanted was a decent pair of Ray-Ban's
Kicking it back on the beach out at northern bay sands
All you can do, I'm still having a time
Cause I got the bys and that's the bottom-line
[Chorus]
Said ain't got no job I ain't got no money
Know what I'm saying, when you're tired of scraping by
Sing along with Dumphy
Said, ain't got no job I ain't got no money
You know what I'm saying when you're tired of scraping by
Then just sing along with Dumphy said
[Outro]
Whatchu' know about being broke?
Butt end of a joke, end of my rope
Regular folk just tryna' cope
Tryna' not to choke
Cuz I still got hope man
Whatchu' know about dole checks?
Gettin' wrecked, always in debt
Bonne fête here's a punch in the head
It's the hardest you've met
Wouldn't change in a sec
