34. Broke as Fuck! (featuring Hooizzy) [fmb Covert of the EVC]

My Rap Name is Alex
My Real Name is Alex
And I'm REAL B
What you get's, What you see, it's ME, Alex
always look like I been throught a war
because I pretty much have
I'm prolly needin a bath
but don't laugh, I'm so low dough they cut my gas
So National Fuel, F'real, Kiss my ass

* Money may be the root of evil
* when you worship material your roots leave you
* go to hollywood - fat cats deceive you
* fuck it make a track for free this world needs you
* we all bleed too / so read thru
* the lines you'll be fine without money to lead you
* a seed you plant in the ground can feed you
* conceive the thoughts that I believe tru

(Nope) I'm Broke as Fuck & I'm still blowin up

Whoizzy, whereizzy? Huh? The fuck's goin on?
How did he who is Hooizzy get here on this song?
I said the work broke. There Was a puff of smoke
But we don't need no water, the water bill is no joke
You best to git to spittin, the Kick drum is Hittin
n' while the getty gittin's Good you best to Git to gitty gittin

* we all make mistakes we all suffer
* but loving money instead of a honey is tougher
* the bills get paid / and the rhymes hit the page
* even though the cycle I was rolling thru was like a cage
* But in the moment thru meditation
* focus your thoughts with collaboration
* ain't the whip you racing / or the kicks you lacing
* so don't be complacent with your present location

I been saving the boxes from the cereal I eat
and usin em to build a wall to hold in the heat
It's kind sweet, the other day I could finally warm my feet
damn right I look weak, today I couldn't afford to eat

* worked for the gas to get to work to pay the rent
* like a jerk same day I got my check it got spent

and my bills got sent late, I can't have a hot date
When I can see my breath b-cuz my frige is my whole place

* realize the resource you require
* is a force in your heart that burns hot like a fire
* not remorse for the part about not getting hired
* no regrets, don't look back just relax and inspire

I seldom get paid for the lyrics I spit
I got a college degree so I could life heavy shit
and finding a job is a shady race, keep pace and look behind you
get yourself a cell phone so your boss can always find you

* you got a job so you're just over broke too
* I'm not a slave but my wage is a joke dude

me too, my check be so thin it's see thru

* this whole fucking system is set up to beat you

Same ish, different day, less pay
What they won't do to make the jobs go away?
To any kinda place that pays 50 cents a day
where you're chained to your job, & your job is where you stay

* I got a hole in my pockets, no juice in my wall socket
* And a half a dozen friends askin when I'm gonna come out and rock it

I got so hungry I could smell it, I got a tale I tell it,
I got that "eye of the tiger", I'm trying to find a pawn shop to sell it

* we need gas heat and electric
* HDTV station select it
* extra credit report correct it
* I'm a bill collector if there's a bill I collect it

Real talk, I don't floss, I can't walk the walk
they say talk is cheap, but are THEY in a studio when They talk?

* F'real, don't delay, press play and record it
* I could free flow fo-ever but yo we can't afford it

And still the talent shines thru, Hoo, you know how we do

* Yeah we broke but we hope we gave you somethin to step to
