Dr. Dre
Never End Up Broke
[Intro]
Yes, sir
Yes, sir
Yeah, well, uh
(Incoming)
[Verse 1]
I'm from where they pimpin' at, bippin' at, and strippin' at
A six-hour drive from where n***as die for a fitted cap
Gangbangin', we never got into that
Our blocks had beef and our big homies assembled that
That's when we tried to demo-crack the Democrats
And end up in the pen' all over paper like chicken scratch
The feds popped my cuz with a twenty pack
His nickname The Baby, he cut his crack with Similac
Four Cuban links on, I'm plottin' on my fifth
A n***a went legit and I been shinin' ever sincе
Every time I buy a watch, I give thе ghetto hope
Bought a presidential, ain't eligible to vote
Versace bathrooms, they sayin' my cash clone
I spent you n***as' budgets on tickets for Super Bowl
I guess it's safe to say a n***a finally reached his goal
'Cause all I ever wanted was to never end up broke
[Chorus]
Yeah, all I ever wanted was to never end up broke
'Cause money can't buy back time, my n***a
[Verse 2]
Long nights, no lights, dreamin' 'bout a Benz
No rice, just ice, nothin' in the fridge
Sick of makin' friends, all they do is burn a bridge
I'm drownin' in my sins, I never learned how to swim
My life jacket Celine, swim trunks Supreme
Just left the scene in Alexander McQueen
I remember nights I was too broke to think
This shit deep, I lost more money than sleep
I was watchin' corners, I ain't never mop the floor
Touched a hundred thousand in twenties from doin' chores
Mama was a queenpin, Coretta with cream
She was sellin' dreams to Martin Luther the fiend
For Christmas, I bought the block choppers and triple beams
Four-wheelers, four-fours, and a bunch of 'bows
I guess it's safe to say a n***a finally reached his goals
'Cause all I ever wanted was to never end up broke
[Chorus]
All I ever wanted was to never end up broke
All I ever wanted was to never end up broke
Yeah, all I ever wanted was to never end up broke
'Cause money can't buy back time, my n***a
